	Deputising Arnelos as Consul Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

quote: A. The Consuls 9. A Consul may appoint a replacement Consul for himself for up to a two week period of time so that vacations and other such short term absences won't interupt the game. Before the absence the Consul shall start a thread naming a replacement and the replacement shall accept before it is considered official. Upon returning from the absence, the Consul needs only to post that he has returned and state that he is relieving the replacement of his duties in order to reclaim the Consulship. The replacement Consul has all powers and responsibilities of a regular Consul except that he may not call a CoC on himself nor may any other team member call a CoC on the replacement.

Due to my situation, I intend for Arnelos to be my deputy for the next week. He will assume my post for any chats that I am unable to attend.

I believe this is in accord with the spirit of the Constitution.

I accept (so that it is considered official).

Thank you very much for your assistance. I hereby relieve you.

Something we may wish to note for future reference, I found having a 'second', so to speak, to be a great relief. We may wish to allow for Consuls to have assistants who may attend to things when they are not around, and to stand in for them when unexpectedly absent. Perhaps they could be called Tribunes.

also, Tribunes would be an excellent training ground for future Consuls.

As for the idea of permanent Deputy Consuls, Tribunes, Praetors, Censors, whatever you want to call them... I like the idea.

I've done this for both BigFree and notyoueither now, but it might be better if each Consul had a seperate deputy? Depends... it could also be optional for each Consul or something else. It's worth at least starting a discussion of the idea.

It was fine until we went into war.

I suggest giving the MoW war-time powers to play the save with 1 consul present (and with the consent of the others).

Um... why can't the Consuls just get off their butts and elect a President already?

What would that do to make things better?

Only one Consul is needed to play the turn. We are pretty much aware of Trip's plans for GCA. It's nice for Trip to be there when the turn is played so that he can adjust orders according to the actions taken by GCA, but it is not a "have to be there" thing. The Consuls were voted on and entrusted to play the turn for the team. Barring any unforseen actions in a game turn, the Consuls shoud play the turn without major delays. We do not need 10 or more players that can play it.
