Length of term for kage's

[Beedle]

It's said once voted upon the kage will hold his/her position for a month.

I for one think this is too long of a time for one player to be kage.  Now i dont know what responsibilities they will have so maybe a month wont be too much work but perhaps it should be on a weekly basis or bi-weekly.  This would allow a preferred kage to not run for the position if he/she knows that they will not be able to be very active that week or for an event etc.

What do you guys think? Kage's for the whole month or do you want the kage's to change more frequently ( i doubt theres gonna be a stone face of every kage so no need to worry about village appearances )

Even a month could be considered not enough time...

[Vreg]

That's why Kage candidates will tell you what kind of plans they have, what you can expect of them and how often they can be online. The latter can be automatically enforced and Kage can be removed for being more inactive than promised with a forced reelection campaign.

Would be cool if there was a rotating kage-wall. Aka the 5 most recent kages have their faces displayed. Wouldn't require much modelling: I presume it could be done programatically as it would just be an enlargened characters (plain) face.

Even if it will be that way, I'm pretty sure is not gonna be in the first official realease of Shinobi Life Online(I'm not talking about the deathmatch version), we all are waiting, and the basics are priority.

In the real Naruto, Kage last for a pretty long time- I.E: Minato and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen. Minato was a short lived Hokage, with Hiruzen re-taking the reins for a long future. Putting a time-cap on the time a player will happen, but it needs to be longer than a few months. With what Vreg said, automated re-elections will solve inactive Kages.

A solution to a poor Kage - If there is a council of sorts for the villages like in the series, allow majority veto power, allowing them to over-throw the current Kage in place followed by a re-election for the next.
If there isn't a council, simply implement one in the future or put it up for public majority instead. I mean, in reality people revolt if there is a terrible leader who is bad, cruel or refuses to give up leadership, look at the revolutions in the past: American Revolution, the Haitians, French, etc.

TL;DR - Make the Kage term lengths more than 3~4 months: add veto systems for the crappy Kages that /WILL/ occur. inb4 dictatorz.

The Kages all need to be in term long enough to actually do something worthwile in the village

Personally I think there should be a system where only characters of a certain level can vote for kage, as many bots could be created to vote for someone without actually getting votes from the real communitys

What are you referring to when saying bots?

I personally don't mind a Kage term of 3-4 months or even longer than that. A village council or parliament would be interesting as well. We could actually implement a full-fledged political system with more than just one leader and a council.

this gives the players political might, thats one of the things that really gets me hyped for future Shinobi Life Online. I mean, how cool would it be to actually influence the flow of ur country by manipulating the politics? that would make "charismatic" ppl very mighty in Shinobi Life Online. if we keep this up this game might actually to be as realistic as ours except for the naruto twist.

It's a lot harder to put charisma to use in a game compared to real life. It'll just be people like m4 playing with thirteen year olds minds.

So a kage should be kage for as long as he keeps up the good work. If he is active,strong,good leader i dont see any reason to put a limit to his reign. There should be chosen another kage in 2 cases:1.the curent kage retires
                                                                              2.He/she is a bad kage.
