Things going really well. We've come a long way in MWIA's term. I hope to do the same but my main goal at the moment is not letting anyone down. Although we are a great team of minister, better than any previous one IMHO. The people expect and we must deliver...etc.

any feedback on the reports thread please tell meif I messed anything up or forgot anything important.

It's a bit late now but if you have any comments on the current save post here too.

I'm planning on one of these after the turns are played for instant reactions or discusions before they spill into their own threads. Or just talking about thow the game is going etc.

I have to say I like the thread with no reples, I wanted to impliment that last term, but was persuaded to leave it the way we did. However, I take objection at editing in the first report to the top post. A link to te proper one should suffice. This objection is based on a bad personal experience with having information removed after being posted, and some heated...discussion...following that. This is the last I will say on the matter. I will be watching to see if that happens again, though I do not believe it will be a problem with the current administration.

Also there are some who have exressed trouble with obtaining saves from edited posts, so you may want to keep a cop later in th thread as well. I would also like the older reports archived in that thread, not deleted.

hmmmn you're not giving me much to go on here so I'm more puzzled or intriuged than anything else perhaps an informative pm. I suppose we'll see how it goes but I can't see us losing any reports

A copy of the save and a copy of the report will also be avaliable later in the thread and a copy of the save will also be avaliable in each one of these corresponding threads. I may also send a copy of the save via e-mail and pm to everyone and attach a copy in every post I make just to piss everyone off

I would also like the older reports archived in that thread, not deleted.
Do you mean you want me to put reports from the previous 3 turns in the thread? If you mean you want all the report from term 4 archived then that is whats going to happen and that's the reason it'll be a reports only thread.

One question:
Why the heck are we building a catapult!?

Shiber · September 22, 2002, 05:53

First, because the SMC says so (

) and second, because they last throughout the game with upgrades.
In any case, we can always switch to something else if we change our minds. AFAIK we're not rushing any catapults the next 5 turns, we're just building them the regular way, so we should be able to switch if we want.

GodKing · September 22, 2002, 15:33

Actually, it is because I say so. And I say so because the SMC has requested them.

Shiber · September 22, 2002, 15:49

Right you are.
