[War_ooc] Oh, and a side note: FLOTUS

Because I forgot to mention it.

Kayleigh (Kay) is my GF, yes.

She's lurked on WAR for some time now.

As a way of letting her dip her toes into the game, I had the idea of 
having her play FLOTUS (the First Lady), as she did in joint posts 
with me during our brief previous iteration. Sometimes, we'll do joint 
posts, sometimes she'll post independently, at her option. A bit of a 
change from our usual "Heads of Government only" custom? Yeah, but we 
need players.

Chris agreed with it, as did Dan, and Ian never got back to me with 
his thoughts. So I took 2 out of 3 as being enough of a margin to work.

FLOTUS, for the record, has no real defined role, either by custom or 
otherwise. Every First Lady sees it differently.

So, some quick notes:

1. When you're sending private messages, don't just send them to me. 
CC fightorflight212 at gmail.com on them, too.

2. Don't be shy. Kay's been watching for a while, she knows how we do 
things.:)

3. She's a newbie; nudging and corrections are -good-.

4. I am still POTUS; I still decide things for the US when it comes 
down to it. This does not mean she'll have no impact, though. But only 
I, for the most obvious example, have the Football.:)

5. If she's being quiet, I'll nudge her. However, you can also tug at 
the newbie.

Thus, may I introduce FLOTUS?:)
