Integrating sextieirs

[Lüc da Schir]

So, after we got the sextieir thing done, I think it's time to ponder about how to integrate them in the Benitian society/process. Things like:

1) Do we want to assign citizens to sextieirs, and on which basis?

If we ditch geography we could just get the current citizen list and go 1,2,3,4,5,6,1,... until we have nobody left. I just assigned each number to a sextieir following the order they are named on the Subdivisions Act (1: Kenwood 2: Locust 3: Riverside 4: Webster 5: Lorentzio 6: Prospect) As we get more citizens, we'd simply continue with the numbering (so the next Benitian would get placed in Webster).

If that's the case we would get:

Kenwood: Perþonest, Taiwos, Pologn, Sartorello, Zacrieu, Moritzescu

Locust: Caçeir, Levis, Cantour, Piazza, Gallese, da Tzara

Riverside: Molinar, Conductour, da Schir E., Vandadour, Barbieri, Viola

Webster: Caveglhet, da Schir L., dal Crapscaßada, Txecut, Cucumatsch

Lorentzio: Carschaleir, Börnatfiglheu, Addis, da Ragutxa, Barjamcanaj

Prospect: Civaßi, d'Unmortadel, Osu, Françell, Morvillo

Or, we could zig-zag through the list (1...6,6...1,1...) so that all sextieirs have roughly the same relative citizen age:

Kenwood: Perþonest, d'Unmortadel, Pologn, Françell, Zacrieu

Locust: Caçeir, Börnatfiglheu, Cantour, da Ragutxa, Gallese

Riverside: Molinar, da Schir L., da Schir E., Txecut, Barbieri

Webster: Caveglhet, Conductour, dal Cräpscaßada, Vandadour, Cucumatsch, Viola

Lorentzio: Carschaleir, Levis, Addis, Piazza, Barjamcanaj, da Tzara

Prospect: Civaßi, Taiwos, Osu, Sartorello, Morvillo, Moritzescu

Or we could have a public period where anyone could freely pick a sextieir, and then balance out the empty spots with everyone who didn't answer.

Or we could *not* ditch geography and draft some sort of assignment scheme, but that's hard because, despite being the biggest province, dividing 33 citizens in six chunks is not that easy. We could do:

• 5 Friuli / Veneto
  
• 3 Lombardy, 2 Liguria, 1 Piedmont
  
• 1 Umbria, 2 Lazio, 1 Abruzzo, 2 Emilia-Romagna
  
• 4 Rest of Italy, 1 Nigeria
  
• 3 Ohio, 1 Pennsylvania, 1 Wisconsin
  
• 1 Iowa, 3 Illinois, 1 Colorado, 1 Texas

Uhm, I kind of wanted to go on with other proposals but I'll stop at 1) for the moment.

What are y'all's opinions on this, for a start? I'll attach the list of citizens I used for convenience. be list.xlsx (10.5 KB)

[Flip Molinar]

I like option two. That way citizens who came in around the same time are grouped together. For future citizens though, I like the 1 to 6 numbering idea.

[Iason Bitxichë Taiwos]

I dunno, I kind of like doing it geographically...keep our little Ohio community together...

[Lüc da Schir]

That's precisely why I wanted to make geographical assignment a possibility (plus, it's cool).

We could grandfather in every citizen with my geographical assignment scheme (or a similar one) and assign each new citizen with the 1...6 1...6 method, or something like that.

[E.S. Bornatfiglheu]

If we're going geographically, do we have any citizens (aside from Ohioans) that were formerly part of Benito catchment but are no longer? Just to make sure we have our bases covered.

[Lüc da Schir]

Yup, it's all on the original post:

There would be two (initially) American sextieirs. I realise they're not strictly contiguous, but it was the only way to make them balanced.
