/me minister of war

report sent via PM

Sparrowhawk · July 17, 2003, 09:30

Science

Minister's Report also PM'd to you King/President Shade.

/me Minister of Science

Hydey · July 17, 2003, 09:33

The good hard working ministers have responded quickly to the request of the King

MrWhereItsAt · July 17, 2003, 10:13

Not much to say... we're at war, will stay like that until the Minister of WAR decides otherwise....

Sparrowhawk · July 17, 2003, 23:26

/me wonders if the office of the Foreign Ministry is but a puppet for the Ministry of War. If we are to remain in war until the Minister of War says otherwise, it is unlikely that this war will end. Perhaps the Foreign Minister could develop a policy other than war with all we encounter? Though I am second to none in my respect for our armed forces, I do not think we should expect them to fight a war on three (or perhaps more) fronts.

I hope the people voice an opinion on this matter.

I would like to officially deny the notion that Hydey has his hand up my a*se.

When the FAM sees a reason for peace, there will be peace. ATM if the Minister of WAR is confident he has the troops for attacking, that is what shall happen. After all, you can't extort gold or tech without bonking heads, and we can't build caravans. We'd like Wonders, and this is the only way to get them.

However, your comments have given me an idea for a further remit for the FAM, and I will look into this for the next session.

Hydey · July 18, 2003, 06:35

We are only fighting one war at a time, if the other civs want to say we are at war , then that is fine with me, tell them to take a number and wait their turn.

Since it's a demo-game I think it's up to the ppl to decide if we stay at war,not our SMC(he may try to influence everybody so we stay at war, but he really isn't the only voice in the discussion). btw since we encountered a new species(Americans) you could have done the poll.

Still awaiting the Cityplanner report.
and then off we go

Far be it from me to try and influence the people

I trust in the better judgement of the people that War is a good thing

/me ~~fingers crossed behind back~~ Minister of War

May I ask the King when he expects to play, just so as to organise time to look at the save as quickly as possible when you deliver it

I know...but I myself don't have time the first 8 hours so chances are the go might be given by then

Hydey · July 18, 2003, 09:38

Shall I send the amazons around to encourage him?

Again the President sets me on the straight and narrow. OK - I will find something to poll on after the next play.

cavebear · July 18, 2003, 21:17

Since our City-Planners seem to be making a habit of being absent at the same time, I grant our President my personal vote that he just make the d*mn city-planning decisions on his own for the rest of his term. Or he could ask for volunteers to fill the city-planning function, given the absence of any participation of the elected ones (plural).

"Through the problems of real life,
Through the real-world storms and strife,
I have one desire behoving,
Get this game fuchenmoving!"

No city-planner report, deal with it and play!

"In Shade we trust" (for this month).

/me wakes up after working 14 hours today.

Did someone mention Amazons?

PM sent to King Shade.

MrWhereItsAt · July 19, 2003, 05:42

Rejoice!

Hydey · July 19, 2003, 05:59

shade · July 19, 2003, 06:55

Cricket practice starts in the morning, this will make it harder to poll the people as quickly as I would normally like.

shade · July 19, 2003, 10:28

I've send out the saves and posted the latest history(screenshots will have to wait)

Ooh, I want to see a picture of Hydey practicing to be a cricket! Or is it a bunch of people learning to chirp?

I believe that I am currently usurping the role of the Sheriff, who was supposed to be back by the 11 of July. Didn't the people elect him as the sheriff, and myself as the deputy?

Anyhow, I should be back regularly, since work will be slowing down over the next few weeks.

Thank you for your patience, and Hydey, where are the Amazons?

cavebear · July 19, 2003, 18:20

If you are the Deputy City-Planner, and the City-Planner is absent, you should be doing the job.

Please and thank you?

Ben Kenobi · July 20, 2003, 06:16

I don't mind, it's just the last week I had not planned to serve.

/me anticipates the sudden return of the STYOM.
