Labor Party-building our headquarters

Meshelic · December 19, 2002, 18:38

No spamming from DIA hippies, please.

:

Fellow Officers of the Labor Party,

Thanks to Panzer32 and Kloreep, we now have two regions friendly to the Labor Party. It is in one of these regions that we should build our base of operations, and our headquarters. So where do we build our home? Money is an issue, so we shall have to do much of the building with our own hands, but being Laborers, this should not be a problem....

So everyone gets two choices. Then we have a final poll once our votes are narrowed down. Here is the list of available cities, willing to house our headquarters.

Upper Apolyton
~ Loveshack
~ Gaia
~ Geofront
~ Ubergorsk
~ Oak Ridge
~ Seeberg
~ New York
~ Del Monte
~ Chiquita
~ San Cortes

Uber Island
~ Another Glorius City
~ Neon Uber City
~ Boomtown
~ Shiberport
~ Solace
~ Whelsh Coast

My vote goes for either Ubergorsk or Del Monte.

Okay gentlemen, lets see where we get to build our home....

Chairman Meshelic

Kloreep · December 19, 2002, 18:44

I vote for Gaia. It's a nice city name, fairly central, and it also a center of industry (it has a large dye industry, and will soon build a factory), and thus has many workers disenchanted with the DIA.

Del Monte would be my second choice.

Meshelic · December 19, 2002, 18:46

have a nice DIA day

Kloreep · December 19, 2002, 19:44

/me takes a page from the President's book and has the doorman (a hard-working volunteer from the first days of the labor party) boot panag from the thread.

Meshelic · December 19, 2002, 20:20

panag get out.

Panzer32 · December 19, 2002, 20:21

Another Glorious City!!! It is far away from the threat of invasion, as the Upper Apolyton cities are. It is also only a short boat ride away from the capital via the Uber Island Ferry.

Aro · December 19, 2002, 22:23

Not decided yet...

Shiber · December 20, 2002, 03:10

Certainly not AGC! Our position would be very vulnerable in case there's a coup and some crazy-ass right-wing general decides to go after the rotten betraying socialists that we are.
I'm undecided between Gaia and Ubergorsk. Both have large and well-developed industries, Gaia with its dye businesses and Ubergorsk with its iron mills. Ubergorsk has had two wonders built in it but Gaia is surrounded by some of our most productive cities.
The choice is difficult indeed. I'll hold my vote for maybe another day.

That's okay; you can vote for both.

We're voting for our two favorite cities, and then we'll vote between the two top winners.

Hmm... good point about the importance of Ubergorsk.

I change my votes to Gaia (same as before) and Ubergorsk.

Shiber · December 20, 2002, 07:05

I vote for Gaia and Ubergorsk.

Meshelic · December 20, 2002, 09:30

Panzer32, you know you get two votes, so you've technically got one left....

Unless you want to be "that one guy who voted once"....

Chairman Mesh

Aro · December 20, 2002, 09:46

Ok, Ubergorsk and Gaia

Panzer32 · December 20, 2002, 10:20

I don't want to vote again, unless I can vote twice for Another Glorious City!!

Well, I suppose that can be arranged. It's your vote, after all, and I said you get two.

Meshelic

Meshelic · December 20, 2002, 10:59

We'll wait for BetaHound to stop by and vote...

but it's looking like it's going to be Gaia and Ubergorsk on top....

Meshelic

Meshelic · December 21, 2002, 19:17

Here is a model I've constructed for our Headquarters.

Most likely we'll be in a large city, where land is expensive. Besides, we don't need a palace like the DIA. We can cram ourselves in with the rest of the working class! That is more glorious in my opinion...

Beta · December 22, 2002, 23:56

Sorry boss - been busy trying to make a living. You know what's it like. Besides - with all the fur flying lately, I've been happy to lay quietly in the corner and compose my story fro the Gazette (and get a little Christmas shopping in.)

Gaia and of course, my sentimental favourite - Del Monte.

Meshelic · December 23, 2002, 00:23

Alright. That bring the tally to Ubergorsk and Gaia as the two finalists.

Everyone, we need one more set of votes. So what's it going to be? The home of the ALP is going to be.....(where)?

1 vote each. Lets do it.

Aro · December 23, 2002, 00:34

Ubergorsk, City of Wonders!

Meshelic · December 23, 2002, 00:35

I vote Ubergorsk as well. The view of Sun Tzu's Academy is spectacular from one of our possible building sites....

Panzer32 · December 23, 2002, 01:08

ok whatever... Ubergorsk it is...

Beta · December 23, 2002, 10:25

OK - I'll go with Ubergorsk - for two reasons.

1. Aro voted for it. And after his cartoon, he is my hero.

2. Has a suitable name. Sounds like some polish city where someone like Lech Walensa could have led a labor up-rising, and eventually could have gone on to run the government. Hmmmm....

Beta · December 23, 2002, 10:27

Oh - and Mesh - love the building schematic - sort of has that look of 'solidarity' about it.

Kloreep · December 23, 2002, 14:21

No way Gaia can win now, so I'll help make it unanaminous.

Ubergorsk.

Meshelic · December 23, 2002, 15:33

Ubergorsk it is!

Yes it does sound Polish, or Romanian, definetely an Eastern European-sounding name.

Meshelic

Beta · December 24, 2002, 12:01

And you know - there are a number of slaves working around Ubergorsk. We should have no problem keeping the emancipation issue on the 'front page'.

Speaking of which - the poll on emanciaption - if you add up the total yes vote - would indicate there is strong support for emancipation outside of the ALP.

Perhaps this needs a motion from the Senate floor ....

We could pick the middle option on the assumption that all those who voted for ASAP would also vote 'yeah' to the 'eventual' option, whereas the reverse may not be true.

Beta · December 24, 2002, 12:07

Kloreep - I love the new avatar/picture thingy. It is great.

Yes - have two of the fine creatures myself.

(But you know - BetaCat just didn't cut it as a name....

)

Unless ASAP wins its own majority, it will have to be gradual. Those who don't want emancipation at all would much prefer milking them longer to integrating them immediately.

Thanks; my new avatar is from a picture of the one cat I have. As much as I liked my former Petey pic, I didn't want to use him forever, so I'm experimenting now.

Meshelic · December 24, 2002, 18:12

I was surprised at the recent Emancipation talks. While Arnelos was still President of the DIA, he and I discussed many of these issues, weeks ago, and decided to wait it out.

SIDENOTE: The ALP charter, rule #1. It says the ALP shall encourage nationalism and growth in Apolytonia. Just wanted to point out that since the founding of the ALP, the membership in Apolyton has increased 150%, public discussions and involvement in issues also sees similar numbers.

Our first objective is continuously being accomplished. I applaud all of you!
