[a] Third Council, Mayor Mike 1st term

Welcome to Chards Third Council term.

Vicombra is our venerated runner up (again, good work buddy )

I'd like to extend Bellos the position of adviser to keep the mayoral wisdom around.

Rebo and LadyMarshmellow to continue there spots as well if they accept.

Also considering 2 new spots, police chief and head mentor, let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Bellos present and accepting the job as adviser.

I think a head of police is a good thing. I started the police force in Chard anyway so I would like to see it continue at its best.

I second this motion.

A head mentor is a demanding job indeed.
I suggest we make a position where the one elected will function as the person to send all questions about the game.
For this we will need a experienced player with a lot of patience.
You will be asked the same questions many times and some are asking question to which they could find the answers themselves.

I second this as well but refrain from getting this position. (I have been a mentor before )

congratulations Mike.

Vicombra sits back in the chair he uses for three councils now

Ok I think loans from the town hall also might not be the greatest idea, especially noticing the 3 dead grants from town hall that were loans for that exact purpose, but the people died and town hall never gets the money back, and can also never even cancel the loans.

But I would support a loan operation, specifically for people attempting to start pig farms

Ok so far I've asked Kipa and Erowyn if they're interested in town mentoring, they said yes, thats 2 people interested in that job, still no police officers though... suggestions?

If Lomelinde is still active she has been with the police force from day one.

Ugly is no im sorry to say after the incident with Timmy123. He is a good man and Im sorry to see him go.

Ask around in taverns but only with people who are active. It takes quite some monitoring to be a succesfull officer.

Maybe our new guy BareRose. He seems eager to partipate ...

I, Rebo, gladly accept the position on council as Town Merchant again. I look forward to working with our neighbors, trading for Chard, and brining prosperity to our glorious people. Congratulations Mike on your victory! Congratulations Vic on the close race! I am honored to serve with all of you to help all of Chard.




(OOC: I apologize for being incredibly inactive the past week. I have been sick, but my medication seems to be kicking in. I hope to be well enough to get back in the swing of things within the next day or two.)

Aye good to have ya back again Rebo

I know Lomelinde is around.... but I really haven't seen much from her recently

I would welcome two new members to the town council, though I think that it it wise to keep it at 5 or 7. Less than 5 seems too small for the amount of work that should be done, and more than 7 seems to be boardering on unwieldy.

As for all the positions on the council, I think a good job description is in order.

- Would the police officer report to us about the same things that are currently being reported on Chard's Forum? (ie what UglyJohn does).
- Would the new mentor be assigned to answer mail and sit in taverns?

And while we (or at least I) are talking about job descriptions
- Did we come up with an official title of the position Lady M is currently occupying?
- What about someone officially being in charge of informing the People of what we are doing on the council (a spokesman). This might be a good charge for the Advisor or Deputy mayor.


For Chard!
-Rebo

I actually have been writing job descriptions, heh heh, marshy has seen them

My ideas were to have a police chief and a head mentor in this forum, and they can each have there own group of police/mentors they work with that don't have access to this forum.


I'll post my job descriptions in a bit once I've touched them up, but Rebo you've got the right idea there I think

http://forum.renaissancekingdoms.com/viewtopic.php?p=683369#683369

Posted to see if there are members of town interested (so far I know kipa/erowyn/poli are interested in mentoring) and I'm assuming lomelinde will want to remain a police officer

I have left the *job descriptions* as a temporary work so feel free to suggest changes and so forth.

I figured I'd better get this going if we want these 2 jobs to get done any time soon, heh heh

oohh, nice! Hope we have this running soon! My only problem is, I thought that the Head Mentor and Police chief were going to be allowed to vote, and it was the police officers and mentors that the two heads hire who couldn't vote, or is that just crazy Marshy speaking?

.....

And whats with the Roll dices thing? o_O

Well that was one of Vicombra's requests, and also following closer to Bellos' original plan for the town council, however it can always be changed in the future if we decide they should vote, mostly I want 2 people to fill those positions to work, its the job thats more important then the voting I think, but if anyone has arguments for them to be allowed to vote I'll gladly hear them.

edit: wow... thats what happens if you roll the dice, ah ha ha

The member MikeBlack has done the following action : Roll dices

5 times
Results :
         

The reason I asked Mike to give the two new positions no vote right, was that it might get messy with 7 votes and that I believe those two positions are more an advising kind.

I do not see the problem since the mayor can choose to veto all other council members.

The council function is not an ingame possibility so mike can pretty much do whatever he want regardless of the councils wishes.

So I have nothing against them having a right to vote

Yes yes, Mike can do what he pleases, it was just different to what I first heard, thats all! ooh, so that's what the dice does! It summons Magical Saj! I could have some fun with this! 8D

Ok I have a request, can one of the councilors (aka advisor/runner up) add a small duty to there position? All it involves is updating the following profession list once per week (takes about 10 minutes or so the way I figure).

Butchers: 7

Thank you in advance!

Is this going to the Advisor or the Runner up (don't we have a different name yet?)

For Chard,
Rebo

Doesn't really matter which, I'm just trying to spread out a bit of work

Good luck to you all in the next election.
I hope I can still find a place in some corner here after the elections.

1. Ladymarshmellow : 55.6%
2. Mikeblack : 38.9%
3. Kyuss_tyran : 5.6%

Well I think that about does it, Mikey is finally free of mayorness and now Marshy has to slog away in the office each day, hurray for Marshy!

Impressive victory !

Good job and congratulations.

Before this council is done I expect to see a summary in here on who will fill the position in council for the new term.

The council should know this before the new one is in session !

So please report Mike or Lady M

Myeh, I dunno, *dibs out*, now that i'm not mayor I don't feel obligated to do work I can be the *runner up* as its called, that seems like a nice easy job

Mike looks at Vicombra as he plots to steal the comfy chair in the corner...

Vicombra gives his chair a last look. Then he walks to the window of the council room and looks out of it.
He has been in the first three councils in a row, and now he will have to leave it .... probably ... what a pity

Take good care of my chair, Mike, it is a good one.

hey hey, don't be glum, you can work on the internal affairs!
