Councilors Dissappearing

[FirstCitizen80]

Is this the way it is supposed to be? I resign someone from my council, hopping to give them a different job, and suddenly they dissappear from the list. Is there some waiting period for position re-assignment, or resignation? In my game, I've lost the ability to appoint just about anyone to my council because if I move them arround they refuse to show up in the lists.

I'm pretty sure that if you fire a councilor you can't rehire them for awhile. Instead of firing them, you should just use the change councilor position interaction.

Unless I'm missing something, there's no 'cancel' option on the dialogue that pops up when you elect to change someone's council position, which means even if you've changed your mind or selected the wrong councillor you have to reassign them to dismiss the dialogue box. Bit of an oversight IMO

I have experienced the same thing than the OP.

You can change councilors positions except if you want to move someone from mere advisor to chancellor, spymaster, etc... In that case, you have to fire him first. And yes, then he will disappear from the list of candidates for a while.

Being having the same problem.
Deleted a few playthroughs thinking they were broken. grrrrrr

Is this working as intended? If yes... WHY?
Why exactly is that? It makes no sense that every person in your realm would be so prickly as to refuse a postition of power due to having being fired before.
Also, does anyone know for how long this "disappearance" lasts?

Uhm, I think there's an "I've changed my mind option".

Maybe they are immediately pissed off and left your realm.
Or...they may get "stellaris released" modifier and went into the space.

Landless invited or intrigue-generated courtiers will also occasionally disappear when your ruler dies.

"I must go now. My planet needs me."

Note: 30-martial Marshal died on his way back to his home planet.

I think you can't re-hire them until they lose the 'recently fired from council' opinion modifier.
