Terms?

[Pontifex Maximus]

I've been trying to decide for a while but I decided to leave it up to the players:

How long should each year/term last? I am leaning towards two weeks per term. That means that we will have elections once again on Friday, August 12th and the term will start on Monday, August 15th (one day for nominations, two for voting)

[ArkocentoArisen]

Reasonable but at the same time perhaps a little to long

[Pontifex Maximus]

One week terms would look like this:

Nominations: Friday August 5th
new Term Starts: Monday, August 8th.

(Pay day is the first Sunday of every term/year. We just need to decide how long every year is going to be)

id say lets wait for others opinions but i believe one week may work better as to speed up the Roleplaying

Its all about finding what works for the majority of us...

I was also thinking about breaking a year into 9 day chunks. A week of straight RP followed by two days of nominations/elections.

Then it would look like:

Monday, August 8th: Nominations

Wednesday, August 10: Election results posted

I actually prefer this because it puts payday on Sunday which gives people a chance to collect monies from the previous term right before the next elections.

2 weeks is fine

[Lord Slayer]

That works also

[ArkocentoArisen]

huh that actually feels like a good idea except the week after that payday is on Tuesday then thursday... you get the picture

2 weeks is fine

care to elaborate on your position?

[Lord Slayer]

What I mean is that we have elections on Friday (( Every two weeks )) and then start the term on Monday. It works because that Sunday you get paid and then you get to go into your new term on Monday. Which will keep everything Refreshed (( if you get Elected again that is good )). Keeps things moving

I like 9 days.

[Okmin]

Same.

[ArkocentoArisen]

9 days it is then Ponti?

[Raglan]

instead of 9 days set it so its sunday then wednesday (a week and a half later) then the sunday (a week and a half later) so its more or less 9 or 10 days, but its set days so there is less confussion about when the year starts.

In yats 2 weeks was never enough, mostly cause we were waiting on the save, as that won't be a problem him it should be okay.

I like this.

The next nomination thread will go up Sunday evening (GMT-5) and the election threads will be up Monday. THe new (second term of the game) will begin on Wednesday the 10th.

As always, the wisdom of Raglan is good. Support Raglan.
