| Message | OOC: As I stated before, this basically means that EVERY party now has a chance to hold the position as the game mechanics will dictate that by way of your party's ideology, visibility and other factors. It also means NO MORE bills dealing with a party nominating someone to hold the position. Its bad enough that no one even nominates somebody else and the same guy is nominated. Because of that and other stuff not mentioned, the First Minister will now be selected when the entire nation holds elections (this includes early elections as well). What this means is the party that either does 1 of the 4 things mentioned below, will control the position of First Minister. 1. Wins both provinces (Floral or Rutania) 2. Wins one province and has the GREATEST number of seats in both provinces 3. Wins one province and a MAJORITY of the seats in the other 4. Wins a MAJORITY of the seats in both provinces If your party wins control, you need to send me a PM giving me name and a short bio of the person your party ran so I can record it in the archives. |
