Minister of War Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Well, as the game begins, we need a clear person to lead us in our explorations. A person to guide our armies to crush the opposition our diplomats deem necessary. Someone to make plans and so forth, to present to our team, and, when our team cannot make up its mind, to be firm (if not necessary right) to make a decision and act upon it. In short, we need a Minister of War. He/she won’t have much to do now except direct our scouts, but judging by the exploration thread, we need someone to make decisions and post clear and concise orders (after evaluating the will of the people, of course).

In the past, two people have shown interest in this position. It is an appointed position (by the Consuls), who typically take the will of the people into account in making their appointments. Please post here (or, better yet, edit in this post) if you wish to be considered for this position in our government.

Current people who have interest:

Well, DZ has not posted here in a while. Not sure what happened to him.

It looks as if GK is the man for the job unless someone else steps up and says they want a shot at it.

DZ is our UN representative, so I think GK should get the position

Perfect for two reasons. No choices will be too "obvious" for him, so he will make informed decisions. Also, he might concentrate a bit more on defense, which is just right for our civ.

Not to mention that DZ just has not been seen around here or the UN. I'm not sure if he's lurking or what. Maybe when he had that abscence a bit ago and I filled in at the UN he just decided to let me continue to do so??

A UN rep needs to be more than a lurker or an occasional poster; he needs to be quite active. The same can be said about the MoW.

depends on how much influence we let him have.

If we vote to gear up for war, well then the MoW will have a far greater influence. If we are in a building phase, he has little to none.

I am interested, however, I am reluctant to take on more responsibilities. Writing a dissertation takes up a good amount of time as does my family. I would be willing to assist at times, which I would enjoy. I just can't take it on alone as it would not be fair to the team since my assistance would be sporadic.

Just trying to be realistic.

Put an end to popups!

The MoW has much more influence and respect than the common member. His words are considered no matter if he says the team needs more units or more gold for upgrades, not to mention that he orders the movements. The minister may have even unfluence for the worker actions.

As a whole MoW is just like any other minister - he gives orders to the consuls what to do and works closely with the other ministers.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Ministers are sort of a "Vice-Consul" with a specific role in which to provide input about.

ministers are the people who are considered specialists and the consuls usually do what is suggested

but it's true that the turn player has the last word

Is it pretty much agreed then that GodKing should become MoW?
