I think one of the key things is that Ambassadors don't *actually* have a lot in the way of power - they can't force other characters to do anything, for example, so that helps keep a lot of the ooc drama down
OOCly when an ambassador spot is freed, usually by a drop or resignation, a post goes up on the OOC comm
anyone can nominate their character OOCly, but they have to have been in good AC standing in the game for at least three months (or two months, can't recall) to apply. This helps keep characters/players who wouldn't be able to handle the workload off the list, which can be a sore point oocly
There's one ambassador position for each city, so there are four ambassadors total, and ambassadors are allowed to keep staff
for a game like this, i would say a 'council' makes the most sense, ICly and OOCly
voting is handled by comments - the votes are screened and characters must be logged in, and are voting ICly, not OOCly.
There is a nomination and campaign period of a few weeks, voting is left open for a few days
Honestly though, electing leaders this fast might not be the best idea OOCly, but i love the idea of them all fighting about it ICly for a while
