Embassy of FANATIKA - Page 5

Yes. We had bought economics fairly cheap from the Germans while renegotiating peace so we were able to trade that for chem and get another tech cheaply.

Ehecatl Atzin · October 20, 2002, 23:35

Cool!

So when you say mainland Persia, do they still live on an island somewhere? what do you plan to do with oyur newly aquired cities? a great debate has come up in our forums wether to change captured city names or not, do you plan to change the names?

Mainland Persia = Persia's main group of cities. There were some off far away in near Germany and north of England.

We change the city names. Paris was renamed Here It Is, after our president at the time.

Not all the Persian cities have been renamed though.

War has swept the Fanatikan plains! we have declared war to the aztecs. All diplomatic channels have been severed. The Fanatikan Embassy urgently sugests all of the Apolytonian turists in aztec lands to leave.

A bump! CFC is acting weirdly, so it looks like we will be crashing here for a while.

The Forums have been acting strange today. Expect a flood of people from CFC.

Was this some trap laid by the treacherous Aztec's? Or is there some new foe on your borders yet unknown to Apolytonia?

Shiber · November 5, 2002, 15:43

[mad ranting]
When the CFC forums go down the CFC people come to Apolyton's forums and hog all the bandwidth. I tell ya, one day Apolyton is gonna go down too because of this and then all the people from both Apolyton and CFC will come to another Civ forum which will also go down and the chain reaction will continue until the entire Internet collapses and then we'll all live in caves again!!
I tell ya, Al Gore should have invented a better Internet.

The Fanatikan forces have pushed into and liberated out of all it's northern cities from the evil Indians, but one. It will be liberated, shortly, I believe(I think it's Satsuma). We are now deciding whether to take peace or a few of their own cities.

All praise the Great Banana, the physical manifestation of the g0dZ of Apolyton.

No, no. I'm not here to destroy your banana god. I'm just here to give you updates to Fanatika and bring messages to Fanatika from here. Religion is not a matter here. That includes the Jedi Council of Fanatika.

We have liberated all our cities from India. Now, we are Pushing our war machine into India. It seems peace is not an option at the moment. We are also at war with Babylon, who is not showing much of a threat at this point.

We must be wary of these Fanatikans, for the Science Advisor says they are a backward people. It is year 980 ad (their convention) and are just beginning to research Metallurgy. Meanwhile several of their opposing leaders are sporting Industrial age togs.

We want to work out a deal here as they do have a surplus of Gems. Unfortunately, they do not show up on our in-game diplomatic screen so significant incantations to the GodZ and the casting of many SpellZ are indicated.

Zarn · January 18, 2003, 18:06

Why can't you be civil, if you are so advanced. I happen to be a Apolytonian citizen as well.

Arnelos · January 18, 2003, 19:01

Perhaps you did not notice that you are a Jedi and President Arnelos is a Sith by obvious appearance of his avatar?

I'm not suppose to know that. You know, the thing I don't know.

Well, two Fanatikan officials may be under public investigation for changing build queues to benefit the military. The two blamed were Vice President Octavian X and General Falcon02. In defense, they said that they were changing the queue to build defensive units rather than offensive units to protect the cites. The VP and general techincally broke the law, but public opinion says (so far) that they should be off the hook. It was only one turn of building and was for the benefit of defense. I personally think that the cases should be dropped. I'll tell you the results, when I get them.

-Lord Master Zarn of the Jedi Knights, Ambassador to Apolyton, and Census Leader of Fanatika

Kloreep · January 23, 2003, 17:33

Hmm... interesting. We've had some scandals over large decisions (for example, signing MPPs not approved by senate), but build queues and city orders in general have mostly been followed.

Of course, during the first few terms, our city planner was AWOL most of the time (and he even got reelected because no one else ran

), so the president and turnchatters had to make some decisions on the spur of the moment. We might have had some similiar scandals if cities were actually being given orders back then.

Arnelos · January 23, 2003, 19:54

Changing a build queue has generally been considered so minor of an "offense" in our DG that it's FULLY excuseable if the President or whoever did the change can give a justification that not changing it would have been "greatly detrimental to the national interests" or whatever the line in the Constitution is.

Singing unapproved alliances with the AI, on the other hand... that had more reason to be a major scandal...

I'm glad we don't have scandals over build queues.... You have any IDEA how many presidents and vice presidents we would have impeached? Quite near to ALL of them, just based upon honest mistakes alone! (I don't think I ever messed up a build queue, but I remember some of my predecessors doing so

).

Aro · January 23, 2003, 22:33

I can see my name in the headlines...

Zarn · January 23, 2003, 22:56

There is going to be an investigation against the VP and the general. It's confirmed, now. I hoped that it would have died down right away, but it's seems to be just starting up. Hopefully, it's just a slap on the wrist, because these officials are great at their jobs. The governor of the province blurted that he would have built an aqueduct if he knew General Falcon did not want calvary troops. So, he is mad, apparently. I'm surprised everyone took it so seriously.

-Lord Master Zarn of the Jedi Knights, Ambassador to Apolyton, and Census Leader of Fanatika

Arnelos · January 23, 2003, 23:17

Zarn,

Well, I have an interesting perspective on it... I was the equivalent position to that governor in our scandal. I was the Foreign Affairs Minister who wrote the senate bill and wrote the orders that were ignored by the person running the chat. But even though I was pissed at the time and signing alliances with the AI is a good bit more serious than messing up a single build queue, I STILL didn't bring charges against the President. I raked him over the coals when he ran for President again, but I didn't bring charges against him... he's a good guy and ultimately I agreed with the geopolitical reasoning behind his decision, just not the method.

It's in our history now and it's been safely taken care of and ended. I hope you guys are able to patch things up as well... while making sure that your officers obey the rules is VERY important, it's also important to eventually have people promise they won't do it again, calm everyone down, and move on. I hope you guys see that end of it

Zarn · January 23, 2003, 23:59

Thank you, Arnelos, but there might a judicial review. This time it is against the current Domestic Leader, FionnMcCumhall, putting the government into anarchy to check the number of turns it would take to change government. The official did it on a past save, so it won't be a full public investigation. The Judiciary has to check our laws to see if it is even a crime. It's horrible right now. We were just coming on top in warfare and this starts. The Executive Branch didn't have such a hard time before. The strange thing is that the Judiciary just seemed to be more aggressive. Hmmm. maybe with the current D. Leader in trouble, I could run again for D. Leader for next month. I never lost that race before. I just hadn't run for it in a few months. I might not have the support I use to have with all the new members. Back on topic, I have no idea what the judiciary branch wants out of all this, but I really hope it ends soon.

Should I give them a message from Apolyton on the subject?

No need for that. But if they want to see the light at the end of the tunnel, you can tell them we've been through similar and came out on the other side in reasonably good shape

btw...

You speak as though your judiciary has the power to start a case without someone bringing a grievance before them... is this true?

Zarn · January 24, 2003, 00:30

Nay, they just never pushed into PI's like this. They have had a decent number of them, but I never seen anything like these ones. The PI's just seem to get more ridiculas, if you ask me.

Fanatika is having its nominations right now. I decided to run for a governer position, myself. It's too early to tell who will be in what races. I'll tell you who is runnig for what later.

Zarn · January 27, 2003, 22:41

Falcon may be off the hook. The vote is 14-13 in favor of not guilty. It looks like he used his Jedi powers.

People running in elections. I only included people that accepted nominations. Some incumbents are not rerunnig. "*" means the person is in The Jedi Council, the major religion of Fanatika. Octavian believes in a doughnit god. Grandmaster use to be a Jedi, but became a Spiritualist. I put it up for the fun of it.
