Just one query - will the DSG have FA powers permanently, but can only use them at the discretion of the SG? Or will they get powers just when they need it?

Well if this passed they would permanently have group leader powers, but only FA powers when the SG was away. There are several reasons for this. One, the mods don't like us having too many FAs. two, if they are going to be running VoNCs it looks better if they don't have the power to edit polls :wink:

three, its simply easier than asking the mods to change the FA powers every 4 months.

Only if/when acting SG. Free sub comes with FA powers, so the DSG (and AG) would only have free sub when acting as SG. In the case of the DSG then only when the SG is away for a prolonged period of time (the mods wouldn't give FA powers for only a few days) and for the AG when the SG and DSG are away.

So the FA and Subs get added when your away, sounds like a good idea. & the Attorney General usertitle is added too right?

Are there any particular rules/have's to be DSG (for example) been a member in the MUN for X or so months?

Basically yes. FA and free sub go hand in hand. Free sub comes with being an FA. The usertitles, subs can edit themselves. If non-subs can't I could ask the mods to see if they could do that. if not then no, that wouldn't come with it.

And no, for the AG place you will need to be selected as one of the three by the SG/DSG, but there are no real limits there and no real limits (above the GAs discretion) for the DSG.
