Shireroth

People were using 2006's June/July census thread for the 2008 June/July census. Yes, 2006's. I split these posts off into a new thread for clarity. Also, further cannibalising Nick's post that started it off, here's a copy of the census form everyone's been filling:

Yey! A new citizen! On a year old census form

That reminds me, we haven't had one of those in months...since February or summat...

And I've been under the weather for 5 months also.

Nick--It's wonderful to have you back with us. We have missed you here in your old haunts. Yes, your county has been kept warm for you. Of course you may have the county of Yardistan; after all, it is your creation. Your applicaiton is stamped APPROVED Welcome home.

You guys know the rules... I'm going to give you all until midnight on the morning of July 16th to fill this out. If you do not fill it out by then, your account will be subject to suspension.

If you were able to have any position in Shireroth, what would it be, and why:
Arbiter, because I've realized it is the best position for me to be in, where I can do the most good. I may never be Kaiser again.

"Ubi desinit philosophicus, ibi incipit musicus" - Samuel Pepys
(roughly translated: "where philosophy ends, music begins")

If you were able to have any position in Shireroth, what would it be, and why:
MiniEx, because I like getting around the microworld but not collecting tons of citizenships. I'm also good at diplomacy and adhering to the party line of my masters. But also a staff officer position in the military would be good. With maybe a bit of **** on the side, which I have previously done under the supervision of **** and his immediate superior **** regarding the free flow of **** between **** and ****.

Myself

If you were able to have any position in Shireroth, what would it be, and why:
Minister of Trade (gasp) but with the power to actually do international trade. Both because it would be a great boon to both the nations I'm involved, and because Gralus has carefully accumulated stuff, whereas Shireroth just has a bunch of land, and I like the idea of the challenge of getting Shireroth to the top trading level too ...

Yes. Welcome to the Earth where ethanol is made from corn and environmentalists oppose nuclear power. I'm sorry. -- Eliezer Yudkowsky

If you were able to have any position in Shireroth, what would it be, and why?

Steward would be fun, I think. Or MiniInt, just to formalise what I've been doing lately anyway. But mostly Steward. I kinda realised during the War of Jeremy's Nose that I would really like being the guy who stays back tending the palace garden and making sure the trains still run on time while the Kaiser is off invading other countries or spending all of zir time on insane national reform plans.

Thank you, Ari. People saw the 2006 thread and started posting, before I had an opportunity to start a new one for this summer. I also don't know how to move posts to a new location, so you answered a problem I had not figured how to overcome.
