[X] Fourth Council - Mayor Marshy's First Term

Greetings all! Welcome to the rein of Dictator Mayor LadyMarshmellow!

First I'd like to confirm a few positions on the Council:

Mayor: LadyMarshmellow
Runner-up: MikeBlack
Advisor: Bellos
Merchant: Rebo
Internal affairs: Vicombra
Head Mentor: Poliphilus

I'm pretty sure everyone is happy with those positions, except Vicombra has told me he'll be busy for a while, and won't have time to do the miners lottery. Even though he'll be busy, when he isn't he can be real informative. I suggest maybe a non-voting role, and we get another person to do the internal affairs stuff.

Comments?

Secondly is things to do:

- Get some more bakers to bake some bread (we're trying to get a stockpile here!)
- Start getting a few weavers to make some hides goods ( I've talked to Archaedog and Kipa, but we're yet to start anything yet)
- Have better relations with Dorchester (trading wise, IE: Fish for wood)
- The Pink Bush Inn, anyone? :D

Okok, so I'm out of Ideas for now, but I'm sure more will come to me soon.

But for now, sit back, relax, and GET TO WORK YOU LAZY SODS!

LadyMarshmellow is drunk from power

I am honored to once again accept the Official Merchant Position for our glorious town. If we need fish (which I kind of doubt we do), I would be happy to go to Dorchester. It is true that I have not really established any kind of relationship with them, and we certainly should. Marshy who is your contact?

I am happy to allow Vic to remain a non-voting member of the Council if he so wishes. We need an active internal affairs officer. Don't the mentors and police officers have access to the council in a non-voting sort of way? If so, I recommend Vic to be a mentor. What say you friend?

As for the runner-up position....it was originally called the Deputy Mayor (see the first council under Bellos), I vote to bring this back. It sounds WAY better than runner up.

Mike: I am excited about the prospect of being able to sit in the taverns with you again, ol' drinking buddy.

To everyone: let us keep up the most active town council in all of England!

For Chard!
Rebo

...HILARIOUS!



All hail Queen Marshmellow! (Marshy)

I propose that we add some responsibilities to a rew of our official positions. Here is what I propose:

Deputy Mayor: Gives a market report to Town Council, similar to what Mike used to do. I say this should be 1-2 times a week plus updates when something extreme happens.

Advisor: Updates professions list (see Mike's first Term thread). He recommends once a week, which should take about 10 minutes.

Town Merchant: Update Chard's market on the Somerset Trade Guild thread.


What say you? Should we discuss then vote? Just discuss? Shoot Rebo down?

For Chard!
Rebo

I throw myself at our feet my supreme ruler !

And now when the formalities are done lets get to work.

I cant supply you with bread since I'm currently in BW and of such I have a little difficulty checking up on the profession thing.

I do agree we need another person for the Office Internal Affairs (OIA) Its an important function and we need a person running this.

Maybe the 3rd candidate ?

I was perhaps thing, if there were no one else, Kyuss_Tyran for OIA. I've talked to him a few times since the election, and think he is a generally nice person, who wants to help out in Chard.

...

And I just noticed what it said at the bottom of your post Bellos.

What do other people think? Next time I see him, I'll ask if he is interested.

As you may have noticed saj has resigned, I think this is a good time to get some merchants going pronto (Rebo...) I'll keep baking to keep the bread supply as well as I can, but we'll be needing some trade soon, not that the new tm won't be able to do it, but its better safe then sorry... big shoes to fill and all...

I have been gone for a while, and forgot to put my character in retreat

SAJ resigned!? what happened?

And as for the trade...what can I do, just let me know and I will be on my way!

-Rebo

Losing Sajan is not only a loss for Somerset but for RK England.

He is a good man and I have only the greatest respect for him.
To fill his shoes will not be easy.

You will be missed

Just too bad he cant read this

So ... Rebo is now a key to survival as is prudent trading.

You have one hell of a start there Lady M

I would like to approach the council on an important matter.

As advisory help I am most willing to assist in all matters I can. I feel though another worthy Chardian should be considered for this position.

With Sjana gone I have now the responsibility of the entire army on my shoulders.
I have also accepted Admin duties on the off-site forum.

It is my conclusion that I must resign from council matter UNLESS .... The council by vote will accept me being here an advisory basis only.

I will accept to lose right of vote and whatever terms you might find reasonable.

Thats fine with me Bellos, you can keep your *subscription* to the town council to drop messages when you have time as far as I'm concerned, and we can try to find a more available adviser, I'm sure there will be someone out there willing to help

I second Mike's sentiments.

Aye Bellos, we'll keep you around, just before the council votes on whether you can vote or not, there's another person to include in the council.

I've talked to Kyuss_Tyran, and it seems he'd be happy to take up my old post in the Office of Internal Affairs. I'm going to start a vote up for everyone who can vote (which is myself, MikeBlack, Rebo and Bellos), and we'll see if he'll be our newest member.

Always Lady M performs her duties as a true mayor.
(excepts when she goes awol that is )

Now I think it is a good idea to have no councilors. I look forward to the vote.

another thing... since we seem to have never gotten any real chief police people interested I suppose I could take that job temporarily, just to get the groundwork laid out, I probably wouldn't mind that too much, if the officers themselves do the work and I just keep things organized it shouldn't be too bad.

Can I request an update on the status of our Town Council?

Who is going to be the advisor? Who is the Internal Affairs Minister? and Who exactly can vote?

For Chard?
Rebo

Mike shrugs

You can ask

Rebo clears his throat

....?

Marshy tips Mikey's chair forward

heh heh heh

So anyways.. Positions

Mayor: Marshy - voting
Deputy Mayor: MikeBlack - voting
Advisor: Bellos - non-voting
Advisor: Vicombra - non-voting
Chief Merchant: Rebo - voting
Head Mentor: Poliphilus - non-voting
Internal Affairs: Kyuss_Tyran (hopefully) voting

Oh, if anyone wants to appeal their voting/non-voting rights, we'll make a vote on it

Hope that clears up the questions for now, and I'll update as soon as i get a reply from Kyuss, okie dokie?

excellent ...

I sure hope Kyuss can contribute with some good ideas to improve life in Chard.

Being head of internal affairs can be quite interesting

Welcome Kyuss

Hrm.... Looks fine to me... Except one thing.... thats 4 voters.... so you get 2 yes 2 no 50-50 split

I do not see a problem in having all 7 positions as voting positions. That is, when all seven are filled. Does anyone object to the Head Mentor and/or Police Chief voting? I think we had this discussion before, but I don't remember.

For Chard,
Rebo

Vic didn't want it, everyone else didn't seem to care, I was for it, but we have no police chief and 2 advisers now... (and the advisers have stated something about not voting anyway? wasn't it...)

I merely accepted the possibility not being able to vote. I do not mind voting on issues.

So count me back in

As for police chief... To be honest ... it is the Constables job. I did it while being constable anyway for all 4 towns.

Now as long as we have marshals in the field a head of police is not that crucial. It would be nice though to have a head of police to sum of events.
