NewZ update: week of 8-05-02

UnOrthOdOx · August 7, 2002, 10:20

I will be back to post my update a bit later.

Here I want to get all that you, the people, wish to report to the gOdZ that I may better organize myself when I procede to the temple to pray to them. I will PM this thread to them on Saturday. Untill then, submit whatever you wish them to know.

So far this week, I am going to add:

Several threads on government reform. The Revolution thread, the one on Turnthreads, and the one for chat times on Sunday.

I will also add info on the city planning thread, as well as a link to the map (750) If someone has a more updated map, let me know.

OK, guys. Let me know what I am missing.

Nothing for now. But maybe tomorrow's turnchat (thursday, 21:00 GMT, 4pm EST) will give more info.

UnOrthOdOx · August 7, 2002, 10:41

Yes, this should continue to be updated till Sat. with any info.

It's my intention to have an updated map after every turnchat. At the moment, I can deliver the 730 BC world map, 300 dpi, 26cmX17.22cm, 1.1 MB, jpeg. Interested people post here , or send me a PM, with an e-mail adress.

Edit: The 690 BC WM is already done.

Oh, I can't be at the chat tomorrow. I've got friends over, so you know...

Kuciwalker · August 7, 2002, 15:38

Be sure to tell him about the revolt (duh)!

rendelnep · August 7, 2002, 19:58

What revolt? that wasn't a revolt that was angry minister walking out after the chaos caused by his absent collegue which was leading to the gradual slowdown in the turnchats and meant that the last turnchat had virtually grinded to halt. Thats no revolt, thats what happens when unsuitable canidates get elected into role they can't perform -silly!!!

Start of official report(to be added to):

Things came to a boiling point this week when an apparent lack of discipline at a turn chat led to one minister walking out and calling for Revolution. Things eventually eased down to some intelligent discussions on governmental reforms such as:
Turnthreads, governmental reforms, a Constitutional convention, and Totally new government
(any other links I find)

With elections comming up it is also time to take a good look at ourselves and sign up for next term. The massive discussion on reforming government and the new school year about to start will be a great test to see if our fledgling government will stand or crumble.

Continuing update (and shamelessly bumping as the date nears)

In game, we have founded two more cities, and finally connected to Iron. Spending our cash reserves we upgraded all our warriors to Swordsmen, and prepare to march on France. With an unstoppable army of 8 swordsmen, and utilizing a few galley's in what some term (link). The next turnchat will be occuring Sunday, August 11 at 3:00PM Eastern. We expect to declare war in this chat, and possibly play through to the end of the War. We invite all to join in our war efforts. The most recent maps can be found here.

UnOrthOdOx · August 10, 2002, 12:27

As always, you can find out more in The Jungle Gazette

OK that's it.

Last chance to add anything. I send this away at 2:00 EST.

MarkG · August 10, 2002, 12:40

Unorthodox :
2 more things :
- remind the readers we entered medieval era (I think we were ancient last time)
- please add something about our unbeatable army (ie the new 8 swordsmen + navy). Maybe even give a link to Uber's strategy : http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=58428.

Thanks for doing the newZupdate !

Recent acquisiton of currency and constuction have propelled us into the medieval era.

Spiffor · August 10, 2002, 13:27

Please just add "20:00 GMT" for tomorrow's turnchat, and I don't bother you anymore

UnOrthOdOx · August 10, 2002, 13:29

Thanks, I need to learn the conversion now, I suppose...

Spiffor · August 10, 2002, 13:36

Simple : GMT = EST+5 (and expressed in 24h, not am or pm)
