I've been asked about this and I thought it would be useful to give the answer to everyone!
Any application or action that you're making that can be influenced must be announced. This includes regimental applications, appointments, requests for NPCs to resign, requests for time of regimental duties etc.
The exception is if it's something where everyone knows it's happening anyway; force deployment, a judge giving a trial verdict etc.
You don't have to announce it if it doesn't need a roll; something like buying a regimental rank. Technically you don't have to announce applications to PCs either, although people may well choose to.
You never have to announce the use of influence on an already announced roll. In other words, you can help or hinder someone else's application for Minister of State without telling them. (Very sneaky players can also claim they're helping and then not spend the influence).
Any roll of 1 is an automatic failure. I also won't be telling people what I rolled. This means that if you fail at something there's always an element of doubt whether it was bad luck or interference from a rival.
Some of you have the habit of posting the specific levels of influence being used OOC. I'm fine with you doing so if it's easier, but personally I wouldn't do it. The reason for that is that makes it much easier for your enemies to work out the specific levels of influence needed to screw you over! (This isn't really an issue at the moment, but if we ever get actual regimental enemies in the game it could suddenly become a lot more prevalent).
