Hey everybody!
Shae here. :)
We've got a few announcements!
In the next couple of days, we're going to be tossing up an IC post with a few little changes to the setting, re: violations and GLaDOS.
We're also going to be tossing up a plot discussion post, as it's a bit overdue. And speaking of plots, the calendar has been updated.
We'd also like to remind you that we are sad pandas with only five mods, and we're still looking for anyone that would like to volunteer and be our sixth. All you need to do is send us an email, and we'll pick our new mod in one week's time.
And now...
IC ELECTIONS
We are short one Councilor, and just like last time, here's how it's going to work:
-Players will OOCly throw their characters into the race here, in this post.
-Said nominations will be ICly handwaved - over the next five days (until 11:59 PM EST on Monday, May 30th) you can ICly campaign, to try and convince the ship that you are awesome and deserve the seat. It is also highly encouraged to make OOC notes here, in this post, of what your character is doing to campaign so it's all in one spot and easy to find, even if they're doing things IC as well.
-Afterwards, there will be a poll on the main comm, open for three days (until 11:59 PM EST on Thursday, June 2nd), where characters will ICly vote for their choice.
-The top vote-getter for Council will be put, well, on the Council. Ties will be broken with second repeat polls.
Duties: The Council's job is to be in charge of day-to-day life. If it doesn't involve fighting the Ohm (or any other threats that need fighting); you make the rules. You can pass laws and appoint Department Heads if any step down or need to be replaced. Power is shared evenly among the members of the Council, although the Chairman helps ensure that things run smoothly and is in charge of making the final decision.
Current members:
Matt Olsen (Chairman)
Kang
Superman
Vindicator Nehaalista
Prince of all Cosmos
Overlord Zetta
Dhianeila Y Leisha Altria Ol Yunos
Rhiow
Positions on the Council will be very demanding both ICly and OOCly. Even if your character would be the Best Councilor Evar ICly, you need to be able to handle the additional time commitment OOCly.
We would also like to ask that you have the intention to keep your character as a Councilor, if they win, for at least two months IG time (roughly four months RL). These elections are fun, yes, but too many in too short a period of time IC and OOC gets to be a hassle that we'd like to avoid.
If you don't feel you can handle the responsibility or time commitment, please, please do not throw your character in the mix just because you think it would be OOC for them not to run. We cannot stress this enough.
Go forth, meatlings, and nominate your characters! As always, if you have any questions, just ask!
