Available Ranks
Tribune - Tribunes have the power to convene the Council of the Smallfolk and to act as its president, which also gives them the right to propose legislation before it. They are sacrosanct, in the sense that any assault on their person is prohibited. They have the power to veto actions taken by magistrates, and specifically to intervene legally on behalf of plebeians. The tribune could also summon the Senate and lay proposals before it. His ability to veto does not affect regional governors. Limited to 1.
Quaestor - Supervises financial affairs. Appointed. Limited to 1.
Aedile - Responsible for maintenance of public buildings and regulation of public festivals. They also had powers to enforce public order. Limited to 2.
Consul - The highest elected office of Ermor.
Two consuls are elected together, to serve for a one-year term. Each consul was given veto power over his colleague and the officials would alternate each month.
Censor - Responsible for maintaining the census, supervising public morality, and overseeing certain aspects of the government's finances. Limited to 1.
Governor - Fairly simple. Limited to number of provinces. Probably 2.
Is this different from the council?
Quote from: Feerman on 17-09-2011
Is this different from the council?
The council, is my council of mages, for magical purposes. This is the senate, as in, all the people who apply for these positions and get accepted will be able to make decisions for Ermor, rather than me or Port doing everything. This is another reason why we wanted a main city hub, and a central government, so that the players would be able to make the choices that will shape the city.

Character: Axxal Sallathor Mortis (Baker)
Positions: Aedile or Governor. I would love to coordinate festivals (RP events it sounds like to me) and make them as best as possible. I would also enjoy making sure that the public buildings are maintained and that the public is in order. As a Governor, I am confused because what provinces do we have? Or are they planned for the future?
Native Citizen: No. I was not born in Ermor but I am an official citizen.

Character: Sandred Von-Bardos
Positions: Quaestor. Currently as the head merchant I already oversee financial affairs with the merchants I work with. Therefore it would be fitting for me to supervise the general finance for the entire city aswell including the merchant work. It would mean I would be able to run the economy better with this position, rather than having someone who could possibly create a problem for my IC work.

In that case, I banged a chick. Got her knocked up. I got AIDs. I died. The chick named the kid after me in honor of me. She then died. I am now taking over the character of my son, Axxal Sallathor II (Fuck the Mortis). So now I am native. Can I hold a office?

I thought of retiring my character. Few things I wanna do with him first,

No and no but he'll have an easier time ranking up. Military families and stuff.
Senate does not save seats. He's guarenteed a seat on the Council of Smallfolk, though.

Right then, the doc's not eligible in that case. Guess Edmond'll have to get his power through being Ermor's best alchemist.
UNLESS the brilliant doctor finds a loophole, cloning himself via the power of conjuration and killing his old body after transferring his mind to the clone, effectively making him born in Ermor.

Automatic failure as you are not a part of Ermor.
Will some of the positions be voted by members of Ermor? if not would recommendation by the more influential members of Ermor have any sway in the deciding choices or not?

Ed's a wizard, everyone knows wizards don't get sex. The closest to it was Merlin, and the bitch turned him into a tree. If you count Harry Potter as proper wizardry, James Potter DID get to having sex, but then voldy killed him. Incidentally, VOLDY didn't have sex, and stayed a powerful and LIVING wizard for a long time. Not even the likes of Gandalf got sex, even with all their boyish charm and luscious white beards.
To be succinct: Wizards having sex will doom the people involved, Terry Pratchett made this very clear in his discworld novel, Sourcery.

It doesn't say anything about nominating others. Sure, maybe you can post that you would think Azrael would be good in a certain position, but you don't post an application for them, and an incomplete one at that.
Clarification:
You can nominate people, but if you nominate someone and they don't want to participate, they can step out.
Do not, ever, submit incompletes.
We will be moving on to Stage 2 tonight. Stay tuned.
We /really/ need someone to apply for Tribune.
Due to turnouts, the amount of Aediles is reduced to 1.
Thusfar, there is no competition for the Consul spots or the Censor spot.
We definitely need a tribune.

I don't want Feerman to be the only member of the Senate.
Hm, Edmond could find his long-lost son who was born in ermor to a beautiful but ditzy lab assistant, then possess his son via the power of devil's speech, effectively putting himself in a new body but not cloning himself. Sure, it's immoral and the most evil thing a father can do, but wizards love their power.
Is this allowed, mr. port? If so, then I shall apply for CONSUL! That, and GOVERNOR!
As a consul, I, Dr. Edmond Sellafield, will promote the unrestricted pursual of knowledge both magical, historical and scientific! The policies that I pass will be for the benefit of humanity, as it is through knowledge that we gain wisdom, and through wisdom we gain POWER! Ermor shall become a shining light, a beacon for the educated and a monument to the human mind! Our technology will surpass our wildest dreams under my rule!
As governor, my province will be ruled with similar principles, knowledge, education and research coming before all else. Healthcare will be immaculate with Ermor's finest physician as a province's leader. Along with this, every citizen in my province will be given free asparagus! Every day! Uneducated cityfolk can't be expected to go to my schools if they don't have proper nutrition. VOTE #1 DR. SELLAFIELD, THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO WENT TO UNIVERSITY!

Port, it may be a good idea to close, or restart the poll, and wait a few extra days for more people to apply. Not a lot of them check the forums consistently, and I don't like the idea of people who applied earlier receiving more votes, when the voter would have gone with a later applicant. But that is just me. And there are of course, re-elections.
Friends, Ermorians, Countrymen Lend me you ears.
I have chosen to run for the office of Tribune on the senate of the grand empire of Ermor. As of now I have only two other opponents in this race. But I believe I am the best candidate for this position. I alone of my opponents am only running for a single position. And because of this I alone will be able to devote my full time to this extremely important job. I know many of you do not know me well. Yet you should at least know that I have always worked for the rights of the common man. I do not have a problem with my opponents, and in fact I have chosen to support them in the other positions they are running for. But I do not believe that they would be better suited to this job than I.
And so now I leave the decision to you the people of Ermor, and I hope that when you make this decision you will choose to vote for me, Feir Cousat, a man who works for the benefit of common men.
I hereby revoke my nomination for the position of Tribune in favour of Feir Cousat and urge any who have supported my claim to vote for him instead.
Re-voting/Vote changing enabled.
