| | There hasn't been much discussion on this topic lately, yet there has been no consenus either. I am prepared to open a poll with the following options: Districts - A, B, C, D, E
Wards - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th
Houses - Warmax, Zyn, Olaf, Scorpius, Terminal
Clans - Hill, Grassland, Coast, Forest, Lake
Abstain - Other I will wait approx. 24 hours for further nominations and then start a poll. The poll will run 72 hours. I had considered starting the poll immediately but I would like to allow some time for further nominations. I had considered running the poll at the same time as the Presidential elections. I would like to conclude the poll on this so that the naming of the Senate is decided before the Presidential elections; that way if the position of President is uncontested we can open up Senate campaigns immediately. |

| Hmm, havent (cant use apostropies it seems, a small line opens at the bottom and it asks for a FIND order...) been reading this too closely, maybe tonight. My suggestion would be to have 5 game-related seats to highlight what the candidate thinks he specializes in. Offtopofhead: culture, religion, science, military, um, and another one... Or expansion, research, economy, warfare, um, and another one.
These *should be* fluid. If there is a conflict pending, it would be possible for e.g. the science candidates to become rejected for election by a certain % of abstain votes, though it will take someone else to figure out how to get 2 or 3 military specialists elected...
I think this would far better make senators representatives of the people. Please note that I'm not suggesting that there will be different functions attributed to different senators: once elected, they'll all do the exact same thing. Except that we'll know where their hearts lie.  |

| I think *everybody* is Industrious in Civ4. Forge and Factory are always at the top of my list anyway, and without sufficient Workers you're just not going to be competitive. So here's the five I'd like to suggest:
Expansion (Settlers, Culture, occasional "military flipping" of a nearby city)
Infrastructure (Workers, Improvements, Economy)
Military (Barracks &c, Units, military campaigns)
Religion (Temples &c, Missionaries, religious campaigns)
Research (Libraries &c, 110% research would be nice)
Perhaps in drastic times (or indeed, just prior to drastic times) a Military candidate might run for a non-Military seat and color the Senate in war paint. On the other hand, if a military campaign dwindles and our production is going to waste for too long, there could be an Infrastructure revival, with warmongers being run out.
I think it would be easier to keep track of everything if we attach at least some meaning to these Senate seats. Could be that's just me...  |
