In most threads, your world leader is having a discussion with his aid or his advisor or assistant. Now the following mainly applies to the advisors, but it will help the RP.

The advisors act like little drones of the leader, and in the end, space is wasted. Example:

"Sir, I think we should fire the nukes."

"Are you nuts? We can't do that, we don't want nuclear war!"

"Yes sir!"

----------

The advisor doesn't advise, he just goes along with it. If you make conflict between the two people, you have more options to Role play with.

Just a suggestion.

Bravo! *clap clap clap, clap clap clap* Ahem. Oh, and as long as I'm posting... Iuthia, check your TG's.

there are some instances where the "advisor" or other such person who fills in the same role, is very much like a mindless drone for various reasons. They might be afriad of offering a valid opinion to their dictator or they might follow a direct heiarchy of command that cannot be questioned at all, such is the case for the subbordinate officers in the military of the nation that I RP. their commanders are seen as almost religious figures, so their word is never questioned. just my $.02.

Hmmmmm.......Thats just crazy enough to work!

Brilliant!

True. But if it's a dictatorship, there shouldn't be advisors because it is a supreme rule, correct?
