Good point, my vote is for Civman

Sorry kids. My vote goes to Tass.

For one, he has a sense of humour, not that civman doesn't, however...

For another, he has assured me via back channels that he does indeed have a plan for a better banana. Dentists will like his plan.

I've seen civman2000 playing a succession game on Regent (or was it Warlord?), which ended in a space race defeat. I'm unsure if I would like this kind of experience. Sure, this isn't an entirely fair comparison, because he was by far not the only one who played, but he claimed to be the leader, and he wouldn't be the only one in this gov't either, so it makes me think.

I sense mud being flung.

IMHO experience in playing Demogames is more imoprtant then having a slight edge in civing skills.

Most is done by polls anyway.

civman2000 · June 13, 2002, 07:59

LOL, that was because Sovy Kurosei kept making us go to war. I tried changing to republic to stop him so we could get some science

, but he just ignored my pleas and kept sending us into victorious but detrimentla wars. I did what I could to stop him. So my promise is: I'll try to stop detrimental wars at all costs, even though as science guy i won't have much influence over it...

There's still another day! And if Tassadar hadn't read the message first, I could have told you that I too have a plan for a better banana!

Nothing personal, but I think Sir Ralph has become the official worst enemy of the AAACC3

Harovan · June 13, 2002, 08:05

No offense was meant, civman, the smell of incense here had just gotten too strong. And I know, what (or better who) your problem was in that game, and your position was lost, as everyone did, what he wanted.

As for the worst enemy, well, I'm honored.

Spiffor · June 13, 2002, 08:54

I think some people didn't understand Tassadar's platform. He has a preference in tech choice, but he will always think before deciding. That means pragmatism, that means adaptation to the world. When I read Civman's posts, I feel he's less pragmatical, even if I think he's not completely rigid.

Harovan · June 13, 2002, 09:28

I agree with Spiffor. While I don't find civman incompetent (not at all!), I consider him acting more emotional than rational. I mentioned the succession game on purpose, not just to flame or so. Sure, it's not civmans fault that it got lost. They had a guy in the succession list, who just started wars with everyone he met, with or without declaration, and treaties were nil. Of course, the whole gang had to suffer from that. Civman did his best to secure a halfway decent gaming, kudos to him for that, but he did it in a very emotional way and the game thread often grew into long arguments, spam and rant fests. Not only his fault, but I see a connection to the demogame though. We also will stumble into wars, and we also have very aggressive players in the designed government, so I hope the discussions in the upcoming government can be made more calm than in the mentioned game.

And I think you just made yourself the enemy of the Imperialists

If Tassadar isn't going to submit completely to the polls, HE MUST NOT WIN! The polls are the most important part of the Democracy Game; the are sacred.

I completely agree. This should be in the Constitution.

-=MordeN=- · June 13, 2002, 21:07

My vote is to Tassadar bc he has a more "ahead-of-time" view of the tech and also a good planning of things which are better for the empire

go tassadar!!

Guardian · June 14, 2002, 03:42

Tassadar.

He seems to have a reasonably balanced, well-reflected and foreseeing approach to the task, and I believe that's what we need.

civman2000 · June 14, 2002, 09:18

1 day left, I can still catch up!

Timeline: Your disclaimer is entirely correct! The AAACC3 and the Imperialist party have merged! You did a good job at skewing my words and replacing the most important words with "..."

civman2000 · June 14, 2002, 15:17

i'm catching up! All of the last 3 votes were for me

! I

you all!

EDIT: 1 more for me

, two more for tassadar

Timeline · June 14, 2002, 15:30

HEY, it's what politicians do best!

civman2000 · June 15, 2002, 09:51

10 hours left, i need 11 votes...Vote for me and vote for experience! Vote for flexibility!

ThePlagueRat · June 15, 2002, 10:04

I think i'll vote for civman, cause he sounds like a smartass-politician!

The remaining question is:
Who will listen to the peoples voice?

civman2000 · June 15, 2002, 10:13

You voted for tass accidentally

! It went from 45-34 to 46-34!

I will ALWAYS obey the people. That's why I think the most important skill for an advisor is good polling. I have experience with how the civ2 game works and how the polls can work so that makes me a better candidate.

civman2000 · June 15, 2002, 21:37

wait a minute...it's 6/15, and it hasnt ended

Oh, it seems that trip miscounted: post 5-day poll 6/11 (in US) nad it ends 6/16. not 6/15...
