Presidential election promises for september
It appears that we are going to have a presidential election between myself (Hydey) and ixnay37. I have started this thread so that we may announce our promises and what we stand for .

I promise that if I am elected I shall use my experience (3 time foreign minister) from our first game to lead our civ out of its current position. I will listen to the ministers and follow the peoples wishes from the polls.
i will endeaver to spead up the game by send the savegame to the ministers as soon as I finish playing a session and ask the ministers to poll quickly and have 2 day polls, I feel we could and should have 6-8 sessions in the month of september.

As for how I see the game going under my leadership, I would push for exploration , finding new lands and new civilizations. I would like to see many new cities built making use of the many special rescourses that are available to us.

I would push for greater scientific discoveries leading to better government and then trade to improve our financial and scientific resources.

I believe in government by the people , for the people so lets play as a team and do it my way

Well, if elected I will use my experience (2 term science minister, 1 term city planner) to bring our civ back up to speed. I pledge to run the game efficiently and make sure that all ministers are up to date and helping to improve our civ. I will make a push for greater expansion and discovery of other civs (so our foreign minister won't be so bored). With the help of my ministers, by the end of next month our cities will be working at maximum efficiency, our borders will be expanding, and we will be well on our way to the top.

A vote for me is a vote for progress.

ixnay, Hydey: How many turns will you plan on playing at a time? WHat things could modify this (other countries declaring war, new big continent discovered, etc) and how would they?

civman2000: Good question. I'd plan on playing 10-15 turns at a time, stopping in the middle if necessary. If I need help on a small decision that wasn't clarified during polls, I'll pause and consult with the relevent minister(s), so we'll always know what we are doing. For now, if we discover other civs, important techs (monarchy, map making), more land, or any other major events, I'll stop the game for polls and discussion.

I would think 10 -12 gameturns at the most but if something unexpected happened i would stop the game and ask for directions . I would use my common sence just as I expect Ixnay would do the same.

I would rather play 8 sessions of 10 turns in the month with many people involved in the decision making via the polls , rather than 4 sessions of 20 turns with long breaks in between with people becoming bored with the game.

If you tipped a hut that offered a city willing to join our empire, would you just say "yes" or would you consult with the Ministers first?

isn't that hard to do? you can't exactly save the game and wait for a minister's response, it would mean im'ing any minister that you could find online and asking them for a snap decision.

You tipped my trap, H Tower! I wanted to see if the candidates would promise to do what they could not do. LOL!

Given that both candidates have some experience and talent, I wanted to see how they would react to my sugestion. Surely there is some difference between the two...

Guess I'll have to find another question...

My game would not allow me to save the game at that point of time but as most cities in this case are positioned just away from the perfect spot (stupid AI) I would think a poll to see if we disdand the city and rebuild it would be in order. As this requires building a settler before growing to size 2 it would not require the game halted but a poll before the next session.

Hydey hopes you can understand his ramblings.

My point was that you *can't* stop and ask. But I was sure that one or both of our candidates would promise to to what was not possible to do. Oh well.

Every candidate should face the challenge of the banana. It is entirely acceptable that the banana gets more votes and indicates that another candidate should be offerred.

(friendly smile) You are not responsible for my traps, H Tower. You made a logical response, and I respect that. Actually, it's nice that you saw through it. I wish more people did.

If elected Foreign Minister again, I promise to maintain our spotless reputation in dealing with other civs.

...and any bananas that misbehave will be skinned alive and summarily eaten (unless overripe, in which case they will be used as fertilizer in our very successful irrigation program).
