Vote for me. I'll give a free Del Monte banana to anyone who does. Please, don't make me lose to the Banana

Skywalker :
What will be your priorities if you become PW minister ?
How fast do you want to connect to foreign Civs, to trade with them ?
Once we clear more jungle, will you rather mine or irrigate the new grasslands ? (or keep a balance between mining and irrigating ?)
Do you consider using our slave workers during your whole term, or will you integrate them to cities' population ?

No, He's just making some… uh... campaign. We are roleplaying real life

Kuciwalker · August 10, 2002, 16:50

No, no, it's not a bribe. It's a "welfare proposal".

could you give my banana now I need to capture a monkey.And I agree free banana (which I believe is our currecy) is a very dodgy proposal and does sound rather bribeish...

I would like to run for the public works minister.

carpathia · August 11, 2002, 02:33

Hello everyone I am officialy in the race now for PW Minister. I will be here every day to provide the most information on what I plan to get done in the upcoming turns. My goals are to keep and better open up trade routes are own cities. And the more importantly open up roads to nieghboring nation so we can trade. In trade lies a ton of wealth that Apolytonia could use. Once i can complete these roads I will then irragate as much as possible around the cities so we can build up the population so we can then start mining to get productivity up. But im not going to use that much of the cities populations to work in the fields we need them to keep production up so we can build units fast or buildings. But once we get this jungle cleared I think we should irragate so we can get the population up providing more people to work the fields so we dont have to mine so much to keep up the productivity. But yeah that would be pretty much by beginning plans if i were elected into office. Of course expansion and war may cause some things to change but my general idea is clear if we can open up trade routes and keep productivity high i think we will be in good shape.

^ What he said

I don't think I really need to say what I'm going to do. It's not like I disagree with him on everything. I just think, however, that I'm here even MORE than he is (to some people's annoyance).

Trevman - It's roleplaying. I'm a conservative extremist in real life

Kuciwalker · August 11, 2002, 09:37

Oh, and everyone, please, please, don't make me lose again. Losing four times in a row would be embarrassing, to say the least. Plus, I promise that I'll be a lot less annoying as a Minister.

Spiffor · August 11, 2002, 10:07

To both candidates :
How much time will you be able to give to the DemoGame next term (hours per day) ?
Do you have ideas already to appoint replacements in case you can't attend a turnchat / thread ?
What is your stance about mining grassland ?

Thank you for your attention.

Kuciwalker · August 11, 2002, 10:54

Never mind. I'm not running, because I remembered I'm going on vacation week after next (no real way to access a computer), and then I'm going to have a REALLY hard time getting on when high school starts.

Inverse Icarus · August 11, 2002, 12:30

i'm glad your running for a position that will be destroyed by the reforms... i mean... errr... Goodluck.

Why does everyone take me so seriously??

carpathia · August 11, 2002, 22:49

I could devote as much time as i want to being PW Minister. But I would probably devote about 4 or more hours a day just to analyzing situations that happen throughout the game. I dont think I will miss any of the turns chats but in some freak accident and i wont be able to make it im not real sure at this exact moment as to who I would call to assume my powers during the turn chat. I think that mining of grasslands is relavant to the city. If the cities population growth is good and we have no need to farm or that city needed better production I would choose to mine more of the grasslands.

GodKing and White Bandit are also running for this post, we would love to hear from them, as well.

GodKing · August 12, 2002, 19:33

Decided to run for city planner instead. It will work better for me as I can do more planning and posting instead of turnchats as I have a rather booked RL schedule. Please see that thread.

Sky - can you please edit your first post to list who is running for this position. As you started the thread, please follow it and if others decice to run, add them to the list as well. Thanks.

Q: If you propose irrigation instead of mining, how do you propose to handle all the unhappyness?

Ninot · August 12, 2002, 22:16

Very uncool. i gotta declare another election invalid because Skywalker only posted he was resigning here.

WhiteBandit · August 12, 2002, 22:18

Well this is a carbon copy of what I put in the election thread:

Well I suppose I should explain myself so many may get to know who I am. I've been lurking for quite awhile, but some of you may recognize me from making the random appearences in turn chats and our own Apolyton chat room.

So here I am campaigning for public works minister. I think it'd be a fun experience! Plus, my civ style is more of a builder than that of a warrior (though I do support the looming war with France). Being a builder, I'd like to think I'm pretty suited to this ministry!

I really think an important issue at the moment is to connect our cities by way of road. This gives our cities a benefit of less corruption as well as a fairly mobile military to cover the expanding flanks of our empire. Remember, once we start a major war with powers like Greece, Aztecs or the Persians, our border cities will be in jeopardy. Having a road system will help our military rapidly shore up weak spots in our defense. Also, it will allow us to reach our enemy's borders quicker as well.

Also, I think we should continue to clear away the jungles from our core cities (basically the powerhouses of the empire that will probably be our strongest cities throughout the game). The sooner we do this, the sooner our cities can take advantage of the added production.

Also, mining of mountains and any grasslands with shields is another high priority.

I'm willing to work with the people and anyone is welcome to offer me advice at any time. Please do so!

Some personal issues you may want to consider before deciding to vote for me:
I will be on vacation from August 22 until August 28. I may have access to a computer, but I will leave detailed instructions if I will not be able to have a computer.

College starts back up September 3rd, but I have Tuesdays and Thursday off, as well as the weekend, so I should be able to devote plenty of time to the game and not neglect my position.

Lastly, for those who may not neccesarily recognize me, I lead the campaign that sought to put the iron near present-day Ubergorsk in our hands!

Thanks!
