This is pretty much the same as the legendary Spice Traders Guild. With a difference we will be the people behind the scenes making the impressions not only will we concentrate on culural and scientific infrastructure but we will also try to bolster the economy by building marketplaces and banks. We will also try to have houses of learning built where we can improve our knowledge with our cultural buildings people will visit us from miles around.

welcome our newest member Grey Fox ...

I'll join

Sign me up scotty

I'll join, but I advocate a policy of trading luxuries only to civs too far away to wage effective war against, and never trading any resource that will allow a rival to produce units that could be effective aganst our own.

well if we did we are only gonna do it at extortionate prices crippling their economy ready for certain other groups to make the attack on them

oh yes and welcome Eklektikos as our newest member

Since I will be striving to develop Pork Barrel politics, I can't think of a better organization to join. Count me in!

Welcome Danke our Newest member

okay this is just a suggestion to get more people involved how about we have like a mini election nomination thing for this group
we would have people as leaders for Cultural Trade and Science we could have nominations in this thread and i could create the poll so what does everyone think

Ah! You copied that from the order! Shame on you!
But its a good idea to have this anyways. The problem is the mods cant "give" posts to someone in an existing thread, so if a post-place will be needed a termly thread has to be opened (like for the departments).

Dis, this is the least cogent thing I think you've ever written. What the heck are you saying?

yes please explain i dont really understand either also i have been thinking about it for a while so if anyone wants to nominate someone they can i would like to nominate curufinwe for culture leader thing :) cant think of who else yet

I accept, and I'd like to nominate Chieftess for TRade in this.

ok so far me and curufinwe are the only ones to nominate anyone so if everyone else could get involved it would be a plus

Don't plan ahead nominations here. Someone might think this is a political party, which is strictly banned.

octavian: read the post. read it again. then think about your post. think again... you will notice we talk about in-group elections ;-)
*slap* and dont use the p-word! *slap*

@bc:
i wanted to have the 2nd post of the thread for the granmaster of the order. this is not possible to change for the mods. so a thread for each grandmaster election will have to be taken ;-)

of course this isnt a political party it was never intended to be and it is just to get more people involved in the group

And i think its good. I also implemented an election in my group the fanatikan order).
We will even have termly-group-threads (propably).

I want to crush our enemies. If this can help us do that, I'll "join".

But I'm unclear exactly what it is we do. It seems the legend of the Spice Traders Guild (from the first post) is not a quite universal.

"We will also try to have houses of learning built "

So how, exactly, do we do that? Is there a FAQ or something I need to read?

I believe that the 'houses of learning' was a reference to libraries, universities, and research labs. All of these strurctures not only increase our science abilities, but also increase our culture.

"houses of learning" was a Civ2 quote.

Will education be run, or dictated by the government? I just hate the idea of not having a structured educational system....plus...it does bring up the thought that educators would then be government workers (that is, if education will be government-run)
__________________________________________________ __

I may join..but...I'll just kinda float around til I decide

I like this idea that citizens could go to places where they would learn things. Like, maybe, how to skin animals more effectively. Or how to weave huts. My huts always come out wobbly. I would definitely sign up for a non-wobbly-hut making class. And, you know, maybe macro-economics.

thats why we were meant to have nominations for people to teach stuff curu is the only one to accpet anything at the moment

also welcome starlifter as our newest member

I wish to join.

Great name ;) I'll join

sausage guild?I love saucages!:D
Put me on the list!
I join!!!!

welcome zarn Paalikles and philippe

So, where is my sausage?

I'm in. We Germans are the Lords of the Sausage... not even the Italians can compare theirs to ours. Lets just remember that like laws, sausages are better when you don't see them made.

zarn i believe you have already recieved it if not damn delivery boy always eating the sausage

welcome grandmaster

I tell you that jedis get no respect these days.

well i have ootah (think thats how you spell it) from the simpsons delivering them so its not much of a surprise

We should open up a business i think.
Maybe charge all our members a 1gpt and then open a "bavarian speciality restaurant" in the rpg with the money we get!
We could server "Bratwurst with Kraut" and "Original Bavarian Beer"!

and chocolate

Yes, chocolate is good.:)

okay we are now in elections and we are not a biased group but anyone that is running in anything may post a link in this thread if they want to

Ok. I dont know If I am the onlyone in this group running for a leader position ;).

i am not backing anyon ei am just saying if you are running for anything and wish to tell people you are post it here

welcome Stuck_as_A_Mac
our newest memeber

congrats to everyone who won their elections unlucky to the people who didnt

What about the "Lord Brandenburger's"?
A fast food restaurant in Fanatika!
Great idea! I will go to McD now to join the tribute!

dis did you post that in the wrong thread or did you mean to post it here?

i posted it here on purpose as an idea for our business (well, if we can decide to open one). it was a response to post#81

oh right well if you open it post a link

Maybe the group can open it ;-)

but who would get the profits?

the group of course. to build branch offices, pay people to work there etc.
or maybe buy a guild house. we could even charge for membership (like 10 gold/tc or so)


we could even pay a chat-representative for lobbying our ideas ;-)

yeh but i dont think we should charge a fee for people to join

right, this would only be an option... maybe some even donate something :-)

also do you think that are headquarters should be based in bavaria?

Well, I'd donate 30 gold. A small donation I know, but it is some.

bc: yes... and we could open branches in all provinces...!
With branch leaders.

Yes, I think that our headquarters should be in our Bavaria. But we would have to pay to build it. And get the money through donations.

it all helps we dont need it but how about it could be like a retirement fund for all officials that retire

We also need a big grill so we can cook our sausage.

With the growing wealth of our group, we could afford bigger headquarters ;-)

dis would you like to be branch manager in bavaria youll have to as k almightyjosh if we can move there though

For now i wanna have that our group does pressure on the minister who takes care of the workers to make a road to the spice for doing spice on our saucages!!!!!!!111

that would be me we are working on it as we speak

I'll join too ;)

bc: im sorry i have to decline branch management. im a strong believer in diversity of administrative functions, and as mayor of bavaria, i do not want to be influenced by any group, and as such must deny and official position.
nevertheless, i would of course second all settling of groups in bavaria. i believe all groups are settled there anyways be default, so please go forward and ask AJ to get allowance.

ok would anyone else like to be branch manager and welcome zur

May I join? :)

While I'm sure Fanatikan sausages are naturally spicy, I can only see good coming from adding spice to our sausages. Perhaps this is what will separate "Bavarian" sausages (original recipe) from "(next city)" sausages (spicy!).

Ahh, a cuisine to call our own! Someone should open a restaurant in Bavaria featuring local food. Now I'm hungry.

Well, i think SaaM opened a restaurant actually. And as its next to the pub, you could have some fine drinks with your meal ;-)

for anyone involved in the RPG

ITS COMING

I would like to join in as well

Hey BCLG, what is the date for that money thing?

Hello My freinds, I am back.

Welcome SKILORD

As proud owner/operator of the famed "Bavaria Smokehouse", I would like to become a registered member of the Sausage Traders Guild. Sausage is not currently on the Price List, but I'm sure I could develop a process to your liking.

ok then would we get a discount on our sausages?

uhm elections are coming up so if anyone would like to post a relavent link to the poll of where they are running in when it comes along they can also say why you would be good at it
if you wanna
also we are not backing these people they are just allowed to "advertise" here

Whatever happened to this? It just kinda died...

and it keeps on dieing maybe if we started to get political views so it didnt die every time someone posts

ill join and try to help keep it alive

welcome naervod to the sausage guild where we make sausages

Well, I am running for Science Leader. VOTE GUNNING FOR SCIENCE LEADER!!!!:D

ok i know youll be pleased to know but i won my trade thingy

Count me in. I'll try to give the sausage traders new life.

well make sure you do i want 10 posts in here every day okay? j/k

This seems to be the only citizen's group slowly bumbling its' way through the game...

I think some things lost their novelty from the first game.

ill join too

well its mainly just been me rambling away to myself for 7 pages with the occasional "id like to join"

it's ok, sometimes i talk to myself too

BTW, ill join. I like to consider myself a "builder", especially commerce and research buildings

Its time for elections again. Naervod for Domestic or Culture!!!!!!!!!!! (I haven't decided which yet.)

Count me in for the Sausage traders, i like money. Just send said sausage c/o the Termo Hotel, Albury... it wont go to waste.

10 posts a day? it's taken me a couple of weeks to make two!

I'd most probably do more if the demogame chats werent at 2am in Australia, though.

Believe me, get a leader posistion in the demogame, and watch your post count skyrocket.

Yah, every position gaurentee's many posts. I don't think posts are the most important thing, though.

I have not even looked at my posts until now and am like JESUS! My post count is higher than a lot of people who have been around longer than me. Maybe its because I got started in government right away, or maybe its because I am all over the boards.

Someone here lost track of the topic?
postcounts - seriously
I thought we were talking sausages and such :rolleyes:

Edit:
@CivGeneral :D (I remember the spice traders guild)
nevertheless - postcounts...tsk tsk

:lol:

@Paalikes: When we first started the second demogame, there was a rule that no preferances to the old DG1 was allowed. We are the offspring Germans and well they make Sausages ;).

*Grand Admiral CivGeneral offers Paalikles a Sausage, Aztec Chocolate, and other goods that we had stocked piled before the indian invasion

bump

i go away for a short time and what do you do start rambling about postcounts shame shame anyway time to revitalise the place a bit so any new discussions we could do with a few updates in this thread

Don't look at me... look at Shaitan (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51236)... :mischief:
