Proposal: Next Step

Jon Shafer · June 17, 2002, 21:01

I'm officially proposing an idea that Timeline came up with.

Question:
Should we use the jungle Settler to turn into Workers to begin clearing the massive Notylopa Jungle to our north?

Options:
Yes, No

Expiration:
3 Days

Well, we appear to be egyptian, so if civ abilities are on (I missed the vote on that, was there one?) our industriousness makes clearing jungles a possiblity. However, I think that it is not worth sacraficing our first settler... there is enough grassland for a second city on the peninsula. I think the jungle should be cleared posthaste, but not by disbanding the settler.

Jon Shafer · June 18, 2002, 00:19

Well now, a resounding, 100% vote says no. I doubt yes will win, so for all intents and purposes, we can consider this option out of the picture.

no, a settler given to you early on is a godsend. it can double you're production (if it wasnt stuck in a crappy jungle).

just plop it down near a river

more cities = more workers = more power to your mouse mat.

Jon Shafer · June 18, 2002, 14:08

Boy, I must say, this is the biggest landslide victory in any poll I've ever seen on any forum ever!

Eli · June 18, 2002, 14:45

I dont remember voting on this poll, and yet it says I did.

Not like it really matters though, don't worry about it.

Nikolai · June 18, 2002, 15:48

No, the settler's too valuable.
But who has voted yes!?!?

Jon Shafer · June 18, 2002, 15:50

Awwwwww!!!! Drat, there goes the first ever 100% poll I've ever seen. Oh well.

Timeline · June 18, 2002, 15:53

What the heck? I never proposed this plan.....i am voting no too

I think Trip is Trippin'

furbster · June 18, 2002, 15:56

As leader of The Hawk Party( See Thread for details) I say to all of those who are unconvinced that we should not use our settler for it will delay future expansion and will alow our enemys to get a headup. thank you for your time

Timeline · June 18, 2002, 15:59

This option is totally out of the picture.......I would have to get a 2/3 vote from the people before doing something that dumb.....

I consider this nothing more than a smear campaign by Trip to make me look totally ignorant.

Oh yeah, so I don't look rude:

Moral Hazard · June 18, 2002, 16:01

43 to 1

Nikolai · June 18, 2002, 16:04

I'd like to see the minister that would oppose this poll, and make those workers!

Since we got a settler from a goody hut, i suggest replacing that would-be settler with 2 workers

Midway down the page, here.

Sucka.

You totally took everything I said out of context, and to be frank, I don't see how that could happen by mistake.

What I was suggesting, and still am, is this:

We simply build 1 or 2 workers instead of another settler, since we got one from a goody hut.

Simple enough for you?

Jon Shafer · June 18, 2002, 17:37

Hey, don't get mad at me, I just posted it, you said it, not me.

You were too *cough* stupid *cough* to understand what I was really trying to say

Either that or understood perfectly but thought twisting my words would serve you better, either way, this post is lame and it is something only a retarded person would suggest as a viable alternative.

EDIT: The true nature of this poll + thread remains unclear. To me it sounds like you were suggesting we merge our settler with our city, and then use the two pop make 2 more workers. And I am correct in assuming that is what this poll is/was about?

This...

"Since we got a settler from a goody hut, i suggest replacing that would-be settler with 2 workers"

appears to be the same thing as this...

Quote:

(the 'would-be' settler can't be the one got from the hut because he isn't 'would-be' because he already 'is' ... if you get what i mean

)

Trip is indeed Trippin'

Yes, and I'm not twisting anything to suit my needs. I voted 'no', I just think in a situation like this, we need as many options as possible open for discussion.

FrustratedPoet · June 18, 2002, 17:46

2 people have voted 'Yes' now I see ... those crazy cats ...

Timeline · June 18, 2002, 17:46

Thanks for the support Poet, I am feeling about as frustrated as you

So it becomes clear who's brain TRULY concocted this insane plan

.

I am all for ideas, just don't pin such stupid ones on me.

btw Trip, Congrats on your promo to King

FrustratedPoet · June 18, 2002, 18:05

There's nothing like being involved in a Demo game to boost your post count ... especially if you're the President ... that must have been his evil plan all along.
