Election: Director of Social Engineering

Darkness' Edge · August 24, 2002, 21:17

Kassiopeia represents LSD/CDC.
Archaic represents P4.

You have three days.

Note: I'm taking the liberty including the write-in and banana options in all election polls, even though that polls is not yet over (that option has 60% of the total vote). It's vital that the elections go up today, if we're to have a September 1 start.

Director of Social Engineering Debate

Archaic · August 26, 2002, 07:26

BUMP

Amazing how you bumped the thread with the debate without noticing how you hadn't responded to the last question Kass.

Kassiopeia · August 26, 2002, 08:27

Last question? I'd better go see that optician then.

Archaic · August 26, 2002, 18:37

Yes, perhaps you do at that. I had to remind you last time there was a question too.

BUMPing again.

now now, we can all get along here, can't we?

Archaic · August 26, 2002, 18:45

Oh, but we were, we were.

Sure, we'll get along. I just have this illness, you know, the one starting with 'dem'... damn, what was the name?

Kass gets my vote

Archaic seems to take the game....a bit too seriously for my tastes.

Kassiopeia · August 27, 2002, 05:47

Tassadar, I thank you for your open support.

Edit: On second thought, what if your support just torpedoed my whole campaign?

Everyone manages with their own style, I'm sure that taking the game 'a bit too seriously' has it's own benefits. It's just a matter of perspective.

Perhaps I should accuse you of party politics for voting for your canditate then. =P You seem so fond of accusing us in the P4 of that afterall....

As for taking the game seriously, I'm just trying to promote some common sense. When it sounds to me like all the basic principles of Civgaming's Acadamy and Vel's Guide are being ignored, then forgive me for getting a bit rilled up.

Yes well....Try to loosen up!

This isn't about winning or having the most efficent and peaceful beurocracy (as the people taught me

) its about having fun.

Uh.......I do have my own agenda to consider

Somehow I don't think all that many people will be having fun if the actions of certain people elected as directors lead us to a position where the AI slaughters us and wins the game.

I also doubt we'll be having fun once party politics takes the game over and we aren't focusing as much on the game and people are doing things against other people and just making the game unfun for those whom aren't in their party but.......It's the will of the people that I, unfortunately, 'be silenced'.

It's also the will of the people to have short term 'fun' at all costs even if that means sacrasficing the long term.

Strange people we have in this democracy game

Kassiopeia · August 28, 2002, 08:04

I thank you all for your support.

Erm, someone voted 'Banana'. I am not forcing this, but whoever did this, I ask kindly you to air out why neither of us was in your opinion fit for the post.

It's just a game. If we lose (a distant possibility) then we lose. I wouldn't loose my sleep over it.

Archaic · August 28, 2002, 08:46

A distant possibility? Even with crappy AI, when you're virtually *trying* to lose with the strategies you and the CDC are proposing, you *will* lose. It might be just a game, but when people fail the team in a game, I reserve the right to blame them for it.

EDIT: And I think I can explain the Banana. Party politics prevented them voting for me, and common sense prevented them voting for your tree hugging idealism.

Kassiopeia · August 28, 2002, 08:55

Archaic, if the current management is considered bad, then it will be of course replaced in October. Well, maybe not, if you start to act like ***es because you lost.

You are practically blaming the voting populace, who elected the CDC candidates, of not knowing what they are doing. Are you representing the P4 view on this or just your personal one?

/off character
Hey, it's just a game.

Archaic · August 28, 2002, 09:01

I always act like an ass, haven't you noticed already?

If I feel bitter, it's because the promised ACE support for us supporting them for their directorates never came. Not taking independant votes into account (Which seemed to favour me anyway), this should've been 18-14 on party votes alone with the P4/ACE agreement.

Kassiopeia · August 28, 2002, 09:11

Unfortunately for some, fortunately for others, party politics don't seem to be that logical or clear.

Now that you mention it...

Archaic · August 28, 2002, 09:15

Now that I mention it, I act this way because I don't really give a damn what others think of me for it, I always speak my mind and don't bullshit about things. If that makes me abrasive, so be it. I'm not going to mince words just because someone can't handle the truth.

Kassiopeia · August 28, 2002, 09:24

That is in, a way, an admirable way of looking at things, but the truth is, if you want to co-operate with other people, you have to do compromises and act sociably, not abrasively. If one wants to do things exactly the way he wants, there's always SP.

Archaic · August 28, 2002, 09:39

I can co-operate with other people well enough, just so long as they at least *try* to be somewhat intelligent and rational and *always* be completly honest.
