Post cataclysm mechanics

Come on PK...5 or 6 characters...what is this?

a mafia family or a consitutional monarchy?

You would do a great job. You certainly could deal with all the law issues. You'd just have to keep up with the PM issue, which OK has said is quite large, and I think that is an understatement.

Give it a go. And elecotor could be chancellor...in fact it would be a great change of pace.

I'm just acknowledging the power structure of the game. The way I see things, the people that have "emergency session" power can bog the chancellor down with tons of paperwork and requests. And the chancellor could only ignore them at their peril. Look at Hummel...

I appreciate your vote of confidence. Though after today's performance in the OOC thread, my confidence at being able to "deal with all the law issues" has take quite a hit.

I lost my chance at being "lord of charter interpretation". That makes me unworthy...

Another thing is that I do not believe Alfgarda is "electable". Jan was not the most popular avatar. In fact he was absolutely polarizing. You either wished he was on your side because he was such a loyal and outspoken ally or you wished he would get hit by a bus because he was such an annoying opponent. Alfgarda will have that baggage.

Unless I take either Lothar's or Zirn's second oldest sons which I have given a little bit of thought to. I still have some time to mull that over. That still wouldn't solve my time problem. I'm in my third semester of my Masters and I'm scared that if I played as chancellor, I'd just have to retire like WL did. And I don't want to put the game through that.

I hear you about the semester issue and the master degree. That is a time problem by definition.

emergency session characters clearly need some TLC. But it would be a great thing to at least be Chancellor once.

Alfgarda could be electable...there is always a chance. Your avatar certainly was as you describe, and you were consistent in his portrayal.

All I can say is that OK's feedback to me via PM clearly shows a need for considerable time allocation to do a good job.

However, you could pull an Igno...now that would be great!!!

Tell me about it. I don't have spare time. I can only "steal" time from things I should be doing.

I would first have to get an avatar that didn't hate half of the emergency session characters. I imagine Lothar and Arnold would not be amused finding themselves on leaky boats in the Mediterranean.

An Alfgarda Chancellorship has the potential to be very very exciting and then it would probably end quite abruptly.

I didn't even know generic electors could be Chancellor. Might be one of those 250 year old laws we can ignore... ;)

As for Jan, he lived by the old adage, "The point is to have all the good people like you and all the evil people hate you."

All I can say is that OK's feedback to me via PM clearly shows a need for considerable time allocation to do a good job.

Yeah, from Jan's interactions with Matthias, I could tell OK was swamped with PM's. Jan tried to go easy on him "most" of the time. ^^

However, you could pull an Igno...now that would be great!!!

If I played Chancellor the way I play my SP games, I would be impeached after the first turn. I'm a big time turtler.

I would make the Reich swim in florins but all of the players would be bored out of their skulls.
