Mentuhotep's resume

roadcage · December 21, 2002, 19:47

Just appeared in our in tray!

Mentuhotep as indicated a desire for an immediate assignment. Consider this little ditty from the cover letter:

My loins are heavy with the spawn of greatness. Please point me in the direction of your desired Great Project so that my work can commence. I urge you to resolve this issue posthaste as this force cannot be contained.

Hence we as Senators need to build a consensus as to what that great project should be. It really is straightforward. Universal Suffrage is the only Great Project that is now available.

ToE and Hoover's are too far away. We need US to reduce war weariness now. The only question is where to build, and what the Forbidden City's current build should be.

Please discuss

Rush Universal Suffrage in a city that that has used no shields in it's current build. Then switch TFC build to Wall Street. It will build that next turn with no waste. They only other things TFC could switch to are the Military Academy, which should be built in Heliopolis, IMHO, and Inteligence Agency, not a pressing need as we have better things to build. Our plan for building ToE in Ghengistown should continue as planned.

Arnelos · December 21, 2002, 20:01

I agree with switching TFC's production to Wall Street and building US in another city.

Vlad Antlerkov · December 21, 2002, 20:05

Agreed with CiverDan here.

Anyone willing to comment on the chances of getting another leader?

Arnelos · December 21, 2002, 20:14

We got EXTRMELY lucky when this one popped up on the fourth battle I conducted with an elite unit during the entire chat.

Perhaps this is just my lucky day... who knows.

E_T · December 21, 2002, 20:17

A combination of that and my great leadership....

Did you see what I named the savefile?

E_T · December 21, 2002, 20:25

Yes, and its true, all true....

Loveshack hasn't committed any shields, and it's about to be tied up with a factory, so we wouldn't have to delay reinforcements. So, unless someone objects, I'll post a bill to us the GL to rush US there.

And, yes, it is in my province.

Is there anything wrong with that?

Robber Baron · December 21, 2002, 21:19

Heed CiverDan, fellow senators. His counsel is wise.

Aidun · December 21, 2002, 22:04

When will the poll start?

Universal Suffrage (allowing women to vote) in "Loveshack"... a city that just went from 10 happy people to 9 happy people when E_T asked for (and I permitted) the draft in that city. A draft-happy city called "loveshack" might just be appropriate for extending suffrage rights to women (a event which curiously seems to DULL war weariness rather than exacerbate it

)

So I guess it's appropriate

Yeah, it seemed rather ironic to me, too.

But irony is good. And another wonder in my province will be even better.

Roleplay

Hans had made this journey before. The first time was as a young boy immediately after the liberation of his family's home city of Hamburg. Hans had few memories of the trip itself, but could never forget that day in 1280 ab that he had seen not one, but two great Apolytonian leaders at once!

That day had awoke to the rumble of artillery fire that round for round seemed to land ever closer to his home on the Strassenplatz. And then suddenly the great General Khufu appeared at the very front of his Cavalry Army. Hans had trembled in fear before the General, who said "fear not my son, it is for your tomorrows that we sacrifice our todays." And then as if on queue, the General and his Army were gone. Back to the Apolytonian front line just northwest of the city.

As grand as that appearance was, it shrank into insignificance for no sooner had the General disappeared, than another Elite Apolytonian Cavalry unit burst into view and miraculously, another great leader popped into existance. Hans cried out "General Khufu! why have you returned?"

And the leader replied, "No my son, Lord Khufu has chosen the way of the warrior and his work will never end. As long as there are small boys in leiderhosen who hide amongst the ruins, who fear reprisal from the evil Bismark, then Lord Khufu will lead his Army on a march of liberation."

Which left young Hans almost, but not quite speechless. All Hans could say was, "Then who....."

The Great Leader cut him off in mid sentence. "I am Mentuhotep, and lack the patience of Khufu, who had to wait almost 30 turns to begin his work. It is my hope that the Great Banana will smile upon me today and allow me to create a great monument for Apolytonia with all deliberate speed. Please, take hold of my hand and follow me."

And so, Hans made that first fateful trip to Love Shack. And ever since, when ever his spirits need a lift, he takes an express train to the site of that great monumenmt. A statue of a stern faced Frau. Or atleast everyone else who sees the monument thinks the face is harsh and stern. But not to Hans. It looks like the smile of an old friend from his youth.

Great story, Roadcage!!

Roadcage,

It's great! Post it in the Gazette!

GhengisFarb™ · December 22, 2002, 00:14

Loveshack is okay with me.

Arnelos · December 22, 2002, 15:14

roadcage,

Perhaps you could do a story about the merciless slaughter of the ENTIRE population of Hamburg. The Pop fell from 12 to 7 during the artillery bombardment, fell to 6 when our cavalry captured the city, and was then WIPED OUT by order of Supreme Military Commander E_T. Howitzerville was then founded in the ruins. Someone remarked in the chat that perhaps the craters from the artillery shells could be used for pretty gardens in the city named after the massive artillery bombardment.

Just an idea...

I just thought we could fill the craters with water and make them lovely garden ponds...

But indeed, i think the destruction of hamburg was rather whimsical, we could have managed that city fairly easily, and germany overall resistance isn't that serious. We didn't need to have that city disbanded.

No I feel the removal of the germans is of the upmost importance, they had to be removed, so the city had to be disbanded, I feel that maybe E_T is a religious fanatic at heart as well.

US in loveshack - I love it

Poll Please
I think Spiffor's Idea is the best.
Military Academy should only be built in Ferropolis.
That is all
