You are Provost
« on: August 16, 2011, 11:58:00 pm »

Like some previous adviser games, but with a couple twists. First, its set on Alpha Centauri
Spoiler: Quick Summary (click to show/hide)

The first player to post is the Provost of the University.
I am Planet. (And other faction leaders, maybe, unless it doesn't work out that way at all)
Other players are Senior Academicians(Advisers), Governors of outlying towns, or Talents (Celebrities) with the ear of the Provost.

The Game will almost entirely be within the Provost's hands, whoever he or she may be. This is not a democracy (unless the Provost makes it so!). The general direction of the game is to be run by the Provost!

To the upcoming Provost, a single question:
What is the name of your capital?

Now, now, people can claim whatever they want, but it is ultimately up to the Provost whether or not you get it! What you should be doing is flattering, jockeying for position, and convincing him you are the man for the job!

Dear Elfeather, Provst of University.
I wish to Senior of research-related projects and I assure you, any progress we make will be reported directly to you.
I merely wish to be of service, and suck up to you as much as posssible.
And to ensure my position, have this.. strange piece of alien technology which me and a small team just uncovered.

Provost Elfeater,

I believe contact with people, friend or foe, is vitally important, and therefore you require my services.
I have graduated from the University of Illobet with a degree in psychology, as well as running the debating and public speaking. Due to these immaculate qualifications, I believe I should be the Senior Academic of Diplomacy.

Dear Provost Yeskly,
I trust you to be a more selective ruler than would accept a short, one-line application, and thus, I must apologize for my crass previous assumption. However, you must see that flattery can only be a corrosive influence in the University that clouds the minds of those it is used upon, and creating situations where the slivertongued are victorious over the intelligent. I do hope that you will at least reconsider, and allow me a position as governor of a city, whatever the name shall be.
From,
Ian Meyer

Provost, the use of force is deemed to be beneath those of an intellectual frame of mind. Many consider it crude and inelegant. I am of the persuasion that this is false - those that choose to oppose us should find themselves under threat of arms, where history has shown us that victory goes to those that make use of swiftness, sense of purpose and guile. I humbly submit my services as armed forces co-ordinator. I can assure you I have the talent to make the most of whatever resources are entrusted to me.

But why? Provost Yeskly? Have I not shown the ability to change, to bow to your will? Although I'll admit that I questioned the ways of those that applied before, I would gladly retract my views if only you'd say the word. I do plead, nay, I beg that you will deem me worthy of a more glamorous position, if not for my own benefit, but so that your power would extend through me, your loyal servant.
