Government officials - what you should and should not do
#1
Hello there Fearlessians, this is my second thread on government officials.

This thread is meant to clear up some foggy areas and to make the government RP a bit more realistic.

Note: This information is not set in stone, i.e. it is not stated in the rules. This is simply a thread with my opinion on government jobs. If you do not agree with me and have nothing creative to add to the thread, do not post here.

The President
His job is: To make laws (broadcast every 5-10 minutes, although if you broadcast every 5 minutes you will minimize the issue of someone not seeing the laws), command the government and handle the entire city.
His job is not: To jump from the top of the Nexus. To set high taxes without a valid RP reason. And finally, he cannot order anyone to break the server rules, or make laws that are opposite to the permanent laws.

The Special Service
Their job is: To protect the President, meaning to build adequate Nexus defenses and to act as an emergency response team. (SWAT,SAS,SEAL etc.)
Their job is not: To patrol the streets (even if given permission), to search houses for contraband, to generally enforce the law (they are not policemen).

The Police
Their job is: To patrol the city and the outskirts enforcing the law. To protect citizens (something which most officers forget). To assist the citizens when they are distressed. To be examples of the law.
Their job is not: To be above the law. To break into people's homes and intrude on their privacy. To harass the citizens. To idle in a corner, they must do their job 100% of the time.

The Police Commander
His job is: To organize the police officers. To command them and relay orders from the President. To make sure that his officers are doing their job, and demote if necessary.
His job is not: To patrol the streets. To act as an ordinary officer. To be a Jail Guard. To ignore his duties.

The Firemen/Paramedics
Their job is: To listen to the requests made by citizens and government officials and respond to them immediatelly. To help the citizens whenever possible.
Their job is not: To hang around the Police/SS and ignore the requests. To run off into the distance and ignore everyone.

The Nexus Desk Secretaries
His job is: To sit at the Nexus lobby reception table and handle appointments. To, if necessary, build an adequate lobby defense system. To act as a link between the citizens and the President.
His job is not: To be outside of the Nexus building, mainly the lobby. To interfere with the Police/SS.

These are just the basic outlines of the government jobs, there are many more shades of RP-ing I have decided not to add, simply to make this as clear as possible.

*Note* I have not put the Head of the SS job in, simply because his job is to order the SS agents, in other respects, he does a job similar to theirs.

The most important guideline to being a government official is this:

If you pick a job, act like it! Don't like it? Don't pick it!
