Sorry I didn't respond yesterday, had some internet issues. If you're still open to new people I'd like to be one of the ships carpenters. He would also be a fair hand with a knife and spear in order to go down with the landing parties but primarily he works at repairing the ship and occasionally does some furniture or toys for the other inhabitants.<br/><br/>As for the system of government, a democracy wouldn't work but a republic certainly would. The population is small enough that there could be a monthly meeting on the deck where people could voice their concerns. There would be a council of course, like Eiselmann suggested, which would lead these meetings but any member of the crew is allowed to bring up an issue and have it brought to a vote by the people. The council is in charge of what goes on but this also lets everyone have a say in what's going on with the ship. They also have the power of veto on any vote, though they should have a good reason for it since it could make a lot of people very unhappy if they simply shut down suggestions for no reason.
