I was obviously being flippant with "pointless placeholder". My point is that the office of the Supreme Chancellor does not have many day-to-day tasks or duties. That is not to say the office doesn't have essential placeholding responsibilities. We have found in Nationstates that having a central figure (or in this case, figures) who guide the region tends to add stability. Our region has matured to the extent that such guidance needed is minimal, but I think it is one of the factors we could attribute to our longevity. The laurels do not necessarily go to me (especially after the first three years) but rather to the office.Common-Sense Politics said:Shucks. Every time I voted for a constitution or constitutional amendment regarding the Chancellory I was hoping there was more to it then that. Guess I should have just pushed for striking the language all together.HEM said:My job is to be a pointless placeholder. The Senate's job is to be the legislature of the region.Lethen said:Yes HEM. Because it's not designed to be a constant activity generator. Palatium Manor doesn't have that many posts; I guess we should kick you out of office? :wink:
So no, I don't think the office should be abolished, and I think it's importance is profound. However, is it useful to compare the activity requirements for my office to the activity requirements for a useful Senate? Absolutely not; and that was my point.
