yeah... that's what I was talking about TKG... the constitution looks great BTW, DBTS, IMHO. I just couldn't think of it when I was writing that response.

I wonder how many more abbr. I can work in?

Maniac · August 30, 2002, 13:30

Hmm...

Anyway. I was wondering, do you people think parties or coalitions play an important role? It's obvious coalition members don't vote on their coalition candidates, even some party members don't vote on their party candidates (Tassadar). Together with the creation of citizen organization like the Network Node and the Merchant Exchange I have the feeling the importance of parties will be much less than I first expected in this game. Thoughts?

FlameFlash · August 30, 2002, 14:05

Perhaps... however I know that I supported GT whole-heartedly and was thankful that he returned in time to throw his hat in and win...

Also, don't discount the fact that we haven't really seen what the parties and the citizen organizations can do yet... we may seem them as another place for party members to get together and discuss things, or we may see them wither and fade. Personally, I doubt the later.

Anodyne · August 30, 2002, 14:14

You're right. And as the meaning of parties might lessen, they still add to the fun of the game and make the roleplaying more realistic

DeathByTheSword · August 30, 2002, 14:46

I agree with Maniac that parties dont have the impact i tought they had but real discions havent havent been made yet (execpt constitution and elections) but the constitution was without any party influenens and elections well hell that history but i am wondering what is doing to happen with SE choices and war choices

Method · August 30, 2002, 15:01

well, i agree that parties so far havn't had the profound impact tassadar suggested they would. though its still nice to keep them around for the RP aspect.

Pandemoniak · August 30, 2002, 16:44

I hate to say that but...

*Drinks a Hive mind stuff bottoms up*

...I agree with you. Parties are mostly for the fun of it, for the roleplay, and so that people can discuss more easily.

Barman, a bloody New Caledonian at the bar, please !!!

Kassiopeia · August 30, 2002, 17:02

YES! Got my wireless headphones a pair of new batteries.

*nods his head repetetively to the rhythm of Yasunori Mitsuda's Flight* Finally, I can think again.

Addicted? Naeh.

Maniac · August 30, 2002, 17:24

In a high pitched voice: Yes yes of course, I'm coming right away.

*quickly takes a bottle and rushes over to Pandemoniak, falling over Kassiopeia's feet...*

Kassiopeia · August 30, 2002, 19:01

Errg. I think tomorrow I'm gonna carry out my long hatched plan and try to build a mecha out of my Lego bricks. ^^

Haon · August 31, 2002, 05:11

Hey I like the Parties, but we have way to many right now, some like the Capital Party will simply get no more support, others like the TSA *wink wink* will grow, depending on how much work goes into them.

I can already tell that P4 and the CCCP will not go, but to be honest I question the logetivity of all the othe myriad CDC parties which are all nearly indetical.

Anodyne · August 31, 2002, 06:10

LSD is quite solid with its 5 members, 2 of them in Government..

And with "myriad CDC parties" you probably referred to EDP and CD... well, they might not have much members, but they both do have strong personalities to keep parties from crumbling even with bigger parties running over them in numbers... But future will show, yes.

I do tend to agree that we could (and should) do with fewer parties, though.

Why thank you.

I'll be sticking around, and hopefully I'll get some support in government one day. Until that day, I'll be keeping my party running as a one man band, and a centre-left alternative.

Nubclear · August 31, 2002, 22:11

*Sigh* All I'll say is...the game hasn't even started yet.

The fun of parties hasn't even started yet

But I do hope I'm wrong on this issue. If we can stay party politics free (to a degree) then....we can proudly say were better than the Civ3 Demo Game, even if were not as big as it!

Darkness' Edge · August 31, 2002, 23:27

oooh...while i remember

mwia's latest sig claims he was the first to hold office in all three demo games...

pfft...i was vice-president in civ2, alpha talent in smac, and deputy of foreign affairs in civ3...

Method · August 31, 2002, 23:28

but did you hold them at the same time?

while we're talking about sigs...

"Fear my Social Engineering skills".

I've been striving to perfect my 13375p33|< lately (and, too much MegaTokyo in too short time, around 300 strips in three days).

Method · August 31, 2002, 23:42

cool

but m4|-|?

Kassiopeia · August 31, 2002, 23:48

'mah'. 'My'. Couldn't figure out the equivalent of 'y' so I made a little detour.

it says you're in C2MSDG too. looks like you're first to hold positions in all 4 DG's! take that MWIA

Kassiopeia · September 1, 2002, 11:34

Agh, one of the great merits of WIA clan is gone. Yet, we still have two family members in the same Cabinet.

Anodyne · September 1, 2002, 12:16

Hmm... I'm just wondering if I should reveal the truth of you being my father?

Oh, but that cannot do. I already know that my father is either Friedrich Nietzsche or M.A. Numminen (long stories, both)... unless YOU're one of them!

What! Then we'd have *three* people from the same family there.

Anodyne · September 1, 2002, 12:27

Only if you're either Friedrich Nietzsche or M. A. Numminen. Or if you're a woman and are actually my mother.

Of course, it's quite complicated, taken into account that you are born some 2 years after I am.
