eh, I'll keep sitting on the fence then. War has its place, and your guidelines seem to restrict the availability of using war as a foriegn policy option. Not to mention your party was initially created to oppose the War Party, too much partisan behavior for my taste.

H Tower, the vocation of our party is not to merely oppose the War Party, I believe we are also defending a way of playing the game and particularly this DG game. We sincerely believe waging a war now is not the best way to win and that on the contrary it will lead our fledgling nation to its ruin.

If we does not concentrate our resources on building the improvments that will increase our science rate and our economy we will be distanced by our rival.

The benefit of peace is exponential, all the resources spent on increasing our infrastructures will bring more and more science as turns are played. When we will have settled a real power basis it will be time to build the army that will allow us to defend our territory and attack the nations that are threatening us. We still believe we should not engage in a war with a vastly superior opponent that is considering us as friendly and we also consider peace has not been given a real chance as there are other possibilities to expand and grow.

Official Position of the APP
Dear brothers and sisters,

Some issues are currently being discussed in the forum and the APP should adopt an official position.

What to research next?
I think we should opt for the quickest road to Monarchy (Drama), researching Slavery now would be ridiculous as we have researched writing instead in order to reach Monarchy as soon as possible.

To attack or not to attack?
Now that a war is waged as the citizens voted for it should we discuss the strategical options available or should we ignored the thread?

Though we were against this course, now that it has been decided we should be involved (on some level) in the tactical decision making. Whenever any policy decisions are made without any APP input it is a victory for the WP.

I think our research should go either (1)drama(2)jurisprudence or vice versa. If we go for drama 1st we will have the ability to use entertainers which will be important as our size grows, we will incur happiness problems both from distance, and conquest distress.

The strongest argument for jurisprudence is that we may lose the option to choose it if we go for drama 1st.

I really think we should all vote together on this, its just good politics.

PttP.

In my own opinion we should research Drama and ask to stop the war as soon as a viable part of the ennemy territory has been conquered. In the current situation, Graz or/and Wels should also be attacked as Pressburg and H Town will be difficult to defend if we don't.

One of the best way to have an influence over the decisions is also to be part of the Turn Chats.

greetings comrades, sorry i haven't been active for a while. rl, you know. on the research question: there are good point for everything except shipbuilding. though i would like jurisprudence, so we could build the chichen itza, drama is fine as well to me, and if thats, what the people (s party) want, so let it be. of course we should still take influence in the tactical discussions, though i'm not sure, if we can get a clear party standpoint here. in my opinion, there is only one solution, to this bad war situation: win the war! we should try to take wels and graz asap, pressburg in my opinion should be abandoned, its too close to h-town, and each will hamper the others growth in future. that 1 or 2 (if we build a settler and then abandon the town, not to loose much pop) extra settlers could be used to settle in the south, so with those 2 new towns, wels and graz we would have 8 cities, one or two more to conquer, and then we will need monarchy.

This time is a time of war and is not good for the people and that which is not good for the people is not good for the APP.

What do you think about these elections Zaphod?

SCANDAL IN THE ELECTIONS!

Senior Justice Gilgamensch has refused to accept the nomination of our comrade Tamerlin for MoDA.
Every party member and sympathisant is required to express their protest. we have to stand together against the brutal forces of dictatureship.

Here is the copy of my last post in the "Election: Minister of Domestic Affairs" Thread:

Quote:
Public Announcement

After some reflection I have decided not to file a case and plead my cause in front of the Lemurian Court.

Though I believe this case could easily be defended in front of our judges, the legal process is too long and the issue would certainly not be settled before the end of these elections which would require our citizens to vote again, something the active citizens don't want.

Considering the lack of concern and commitment from the vast majority of the less active citizens I now consider opening a file would be useless and would only result in petty quarrels that would work against the interest of our nation that which I don't want.

In the near future I will ask for an amendment of our Constitution in order to revise the Article V - (e) which should clearly state a Nomination have to be personally expressed by the nominate.

Long life to our Democracy,
Long life to Lemuria.
Thanks for your support Zaphod...

Hey! Why’s this party so quiet? I’m sure there’s something to protest about. Cruelty to hamsters? Ice cream headaches?

Speaking of silence, my sincerest apologies for disappearing. Unfortunately this situation won’t improve until mid-March.

...I’ll be in Rio.

Hi DoT, Zaphod and I have tried to reach you and Immortal Wombat before the elections without much success. IW home modem is dead and he is rather difficult to contact at this moment.

And don't worry the APP is alive and ready for another fight.

welcome aboard comrade qantrix

btw, there should be new elections for our prime secretary (so far me). i might have messep up the time a bit (sorry for that, why does this month have so few days? surprises me again every year ) i would suggest, nominations end on monday 3rd noon gmt, elections exactly one week later. this isn't according to the rule for the stateelections, but it should give every member the chance to participate both in nomination and election in weekend as well as in the week.

you can nominate any member of the party.

Welcome camarade Qantrix",

If you have some questions about our party, just ask.

Before voting, we have decided to discuss together about the important decisions our citizens have to take through the polls as we believe a collective give us more power over the issue of a vote. Sometimes it is not necessary, the choice is obvious or related to administrative matters of the empire without much consequences and there is no need to adopt a common stand.

But remember we also believe that a member is ultimately free to disagree with the party and to vote as he thinks it is his duty to.

That's now 3/0/1 for our current future Prime Secretary...

For those of you who are not yet on the APP mailing list or have not yet received the mail, should I nominate myself for a MoDA position? Zaphod has already replied yes but I would like to know what all of you are thinking about it.
