I'll volunteer for the finance minister.

Re: SE4 by Committee
 

This is all a really interesting idea.
I will probably take political minister.
What all would be involved with that one? I wouldn't need to be Online in like IRC would I? Let me know what all I would have to do.

Re: SE4 by Committee
 

this does all sound pretty cool. i probably would not have enough time to play very often, but i think i would not mind governing some little provincial backwatter, if one ever opened up. maybe if you ever colonize a planet with a moon(s) then I could take one or the other, and bicker with the govenor of the planet or moon.

or maybe if you just have some backwatter system filled with several small-fry planetary govenors, you could toss me in there too. maybe we could start a little civil war in the system, or have labor disputes or something. we could name the planet Berkeley and ban anything useful from being built there.

it would be a 'green' planet with no industrial construction, and no military construction, and we would get upset about the polution caused by excessive coffee bean grinding. and we would complain any time the output from our research facilities were used for anything besides developing new eco-friendly farming techniques.

or not. or most definitly not. i would still like to be a backwater govenor with neighbors to bicker with, though.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">As the political minister, you will get a major block of votes when dealing with alien races.
You would also be the person to turn to if another player wants to deal with aliens (trade, demands, pay a ransom for a captured avatar, etc).
Until aliens do show up, you'll essentially be a senator.

I'll sign up for Naming minister.

Re: SE4 by Committee
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Alright, I think I can handle that. I will do the best I can.

Re: SE4 by Committee
 

Neato. I'll just be a senator for now, maybe pick up a small backwater planet (or system) later on.
