The "conmcb25" Consular Election Poll

BigFree · January 6, 2004, 00:20

There are 4 polls runing concurrently for our Consular elections. They are weighted polls. Please vote in each poll for each candidate. You should only vote once for each option in each poll. For example you should not vote for 2 candidates to get the same number of votes. You should vote in each of the 4 polls with each poll having a differnt amount of votes being given to each candidate. I hope this is clear.

Please vote accordingly:

Conmcb25 (4) = Conmcb25 gets 4 votes towards becoming a Consul.
Conmcb25 (3) = Conmcb25 gets 3 votes towards becoming a Consul.
Conmcb25 (2) = Conmcb25 gets 2 votes towards becoming a Consul.
Conmcb25 (1) = Conmcb25 gets 1 vote towards becoming a Consul.

My Platform:

Early rapid expansion as well as trying to find our neighbors as quickly as possible. This will be cricial to our survival and ability to compete in the second game.

Since we (all the teams) went with continents we will probably either have 2 or 1 neighbor(s).

If we have 1 neighbor then the question comes up should we early rush or build a solid relationship/ alliance?

If 2 neighbors then we will most likely have to get one as an ally and eliminate the third.

An effective and active FAM will be critical in our early sucess and survival.

And we are up to the task!

Thats my platform and vision. Im sure no matter who wins any 3 of the 4 will do a great job!

Good luck to all :

Ok - let me rephrase. There will be 4 polls, one for each candidate. You vote once in each poll, therefore you vote 4 different times. But - you can only vote 4 in one poll, 3 in another, 2 in a third, and 1 in the last.

Did I get it right?

Do you have C3C? How much experience do you have with the mechanics?

Im playing in the Demo Game at MZO and have been participating quite frequently in the turn chats. Im familiar with what the MOI has done for that game and why.

I am playing at least a half a dozen or so PBEM's right now.

Im playing in the Ladder at CDG (Not because I have this urge to be a ladder guy but because 2 of three of our game admins are in in it as well as higher ranking members of the other teams. Its all about relationships when it comes to diplomacy or getting an admin to see our point on a ruling

)

I have played the Boot Camp at MZO.

I have played a lot of SP games and Network games with my kids TRYING to teach them mechanics.

I follow the Conquests thread here A LOT and at CFC a little, so I can keep up on the isuues with the game mechanics especially whats going on with the Beta and Corruption.

With that being said am I an expert on game mechanics like Axelman or ET? Well the answer is no.

But Im older (over 40) and excessive testosterone is no longer my foe. I dont have a problem admiting my ignorance and seeking out more knowledgeable individuals to help solve that ignorance.

Because: Its not WHAT you know, its WHO you know.

If you want an expert in game mechanics as counsel you should vote for someone else.

If you want someone who understands game mechanics and can foster and work relationships then vote for me.

*Wow, that was a lot longer than I expected!

Well since Lucky cant seem to separate the two Demo games we would probably have to go for an early rush. Thats just being realistic and based on his current attitude.

That doesn't mean we can't try diplomacy (while keeping BF away from him

)

Clauswitz said something to the effect that war was just diplomacy by other means or something similar.

If talking doesn't work then he is probably cooking up something, and we have to make sure we can counter/ overcome it.

But Im NOT going to support letting his current attitude in the ISDG dictate our actions towards a possible GCA neighbor in the C3C IDG. What I will do is let his actions and words in the C3C IDG guide our diplomatic policy in the C3C IDG.
