If you're interested in performing a government function next month, please post your name here together with the function you're aiming for. If only one person is candidate for a position, that person will get the position automatically. If more than one person wants the same position, there will be an election held, starting July 26, which will last for three days. Every Consciousness member will have an equal vote in that election. The candidate with the most votes gets the position. The new government will take over the first of July, at GMT 00.00.
Candidates for the available positions are:
(As you can see, the position names aren't quite final. "Official" is a placeholder. Please see the poll to choose a name.  )
Prime Function
Drogue Beta-8
Second Function
Mani Alpha-3
Official of/for Science
Operations Official or Official of/for Military/Covert Operations
Function Delta (DBTS)
Official of/for Foreign Affairs
Official of/for Social Engineering
Official of/for Internal Affairs
Corelli Omega-9
For the position titles, I have chosen the options: Director, Advisor, Prime Code, High Function, Alpha Function. Not that great names IMO... So if you have another suggestion, please tell so and vote write-in. Perhaps we can hold a new poll then.

Maniac: When I say we are equal, I mean equal rights, and equal before the law. We have the same voting power, and so I calling one a High Function and others just Functions seems inappropriate to me. Of course we have different talents, and diffewrent abilities. I wasn't refering to that at all. I was refering to rights, such a the right to vote.
Prime Function is like Prime Minister, and Second Function like Second Minister. To refer to other ministers as High Ministers would seem silly to me. Prime and Second (which maybe should be secondary?) Function as specific designations. To me, saying someone is a "High" something implies them being a better person, whereas "Prime" or "Second" refers to a specific designation, as does not bring about the same superiority complex to me.
I agree with Cedayon, I don't like the ones in the poll. I like Corellions idea to.

Great suggestions again. I've thought of a few too others too in the meanwhile.
"****YOU" only refers to probe actions, so their should also be a title for military operations, for the same person doing the ****YOU job. I was thinking about MOM : Military Operations Monitor.
Similarly, instead of CIA, the Internal Affairs director could be called DAD : Domestic Affairs Director.
I will hold a poll with the current suggestions in a few days. New suggestions are still welcome!
Btw, TKG, Bookwyrm, Cedayon, Chaunk, protonman and elijah, don't you want to take up a government position? Contrary to the first ACDG, currently you don't really have to do anything as government official, as the game is young and our faction small. It's just to have names for government officials in a 3D article.

Well currently everyone is polling for whatever he likes, so for ourselves it doesn't really matter the government isn't filled. That may change of course when the game becomes more complex. But now my main concern is having a full government to write a 3D article about. If we can't get enough real people, perhaps we should invent fictitious names, such as Aki Zeta-5, Niki Theta-2, Ceti Tau-1 or Mu Hammed Saed al-Sigma-4 (Foreign Affairs - idea from TKG).

To be honest, since we have so few people, I don't think we will ever fill them all. Also, I think elections could be good. Therefore I think we should amalgumate some of the positions. Put foreign affairs with military or with prime fucntion, put science and social engineering with internal affairs or second function. I would propose having:
- Prime Function
- Second Function
- State (or Internal) Function
- Diplomatic Function
That would be like many RL nations, with leader, deputy, home or state minister and foreign minister. They are the 4 main positions in the UK (Blair, Prescott, Blunkett and Straw) and in the US (Bush, Cheney, Powell and Rumsfeld). I don't think we will ever fill 7 positions, with only 10 or 11 people, and I would like to se the occasional election. Do we need more than 4? With a faction our size, I doubt it, and even when we do, having 7 will mean many go unfilled and so the Prime Function and Second Function will have much to do. I think this would be the best IMHO.
When we get this sorted out, I will draft a constitution for everyone to look at and scrutinise, and after a few drafts, we should get the layout of our faction. It will be based on the old one, but with less burocracy, beiugn that we are far more efficient than the Peacekeepers, and do not need to model buyrocracy into it. Is this a good idea? I would expect to do it at the weekend, or next week, whenever this is sorted out.

), I will be much more available and so be able to carry out my duties better and be more active.
I thought we still had different talents, and different Algorithms to enhance those differing talents. For example, a cyborg with strong muscles and great tactical skills would receive eg a Delta-3 Algorithm and join our armed forces. Likewise a cyborg with strong insight in politics and society or with natural leadership skills would receive an Alpha-3 or Beta-8 algorithm to enhance those skills and would climb up high in the CyCon's government hierarchy.

I would have preferred that myself, but I couldn't find a decent word starting with "Y" yesterday.
