I have to admit - well, I do guess I'm speaking for most of us here - but I, and other CAs, have been quite inactive. The main reason is probably the fact that there's only a certain amount of times you can give speeches and reply to letters before all the ideas have ran out. Also, there's been plenty of times when the same topic has been spoken about multiple times, with each CA doing their own version, and this seems to be quite annoying for both us, the CAs, and everybody else, due to the fact that they've heard the speech about five times, and unbeknown to us, they haven't. Basically, what I'm saying here is that we need some way of communication between the City Administration team, so that we don't get tangled up in a replay of speeches and the same replies to letters. Now, back to the reason of inactivity. Boredom, to be blunt. We need more ways to get involved, and do something in the City. Surely if we're expendable we can go outside, toss away the fake mask of protection - i.e about eight OTA guards that we shouldn't need if we're expendable - and fix the problems in the City directly, such as meeting people, listening to their views about the UU, helping the CWU with things; actually getting human interaction rather than sitting in a room giving the same speech fifty times. Also, rather than just get more inactive CAs - yes I just admitted most of us are inactive, again - why don't we do something similar to Taco 'n' Banana, with the "Civil Ministers", thus expanding the team, and actually giving it a structure, rather than what it is now. These "Civil Ministers" (or whatever they'd be named) would be extremely - I mean loads of Loyalist Points, a clean record (no crimes, even minor ones) and maybe a dose of water from the trainstation vending machines - trusted Loyalists or Civil Worker, stay inside and outside equally, not actually need eight OTA, and would do things such as collecting surveys, handing out printouts of the latest speeches by the City Administrators, bringing in the letters which people make, perhaps send confidential letters to the person recieving it, such as the details of the latest CWU project. Just as a little... 'warning', I do tell you that being a CA isn't really as much fun as it seems, unless the act actually gets changed and it becomes more interactive and productive, we could have a thriving Civil Administration team someday. Sorry for sort of derailing the topic, but I just wanted to give you, the people wanting to make CA apps, how 'fun' it really is, and some suggestions on how to improve it.
