Alderperson? Assessor? :P

TEP-style: Provost. Prefect. The somewhat cop-sounding "Marshal".

There would be multiple ones (2-3 per Cat's proposal) and it's possible that none of them would be men >:(

I think it’d be cute to have each Alderperson have a “district”. Malev is kinda what we’ve roleplayed as our capital at times. It’d be cool to split TRR up into districts, I think that could definitely be fun.

What would be the practical implications of districts?

It’d just be a cute roleplay thing. Just flavoring it is all I guess.

It usually has leftist associations ( syndicalism ) but it's rooted in medieval municipal offices.

Let's stick to the prison camp theme please.

Edit: "Collaborator"? Since TRR is a re-education camp with the delegate being the "Prison Warden" and the Officers properly called "Correctional Officers"
Also known as Jeffersonborg - re-educating ejectees one mind at a time.

That would imply we'd be following it.

I don't think it's widely used in the english speaking world, probably because english uses "union" rather than "sindicate". I think it's a cool and kinda archaic sounding name though.

I have no reasonable sounding recommendations for the position's name, unfortunately. Something generic like "Councillor" or "Advocate" might work but I'm also aware that those are already used in TSP and TNP respectively, and we probably want something unique.

While I see what Manson is going for with "districts", I can't say I'm a fan (unique names implies different jobs or specific areas of exclusivity that don't exist and could cause a bit of confusion).

I'll start implementing this over the weekend, with opening nominations gameside. We'll go with syndic, but we can ask what the nominees/candidates think of the name, or if they have any other suggestions.
