This is the Order of the Knights of Fanatikan origin.

We lobby an agressive campaign of conquest.

The lands we settled are to overcrowded already. We need more space to grow!
As we are the first nation in the world and the only one being in direct succesion of our deities, we own these lands and noone else shall take them from us.

The enemies of our empire shall prostrate before us!
They shall flee in fear from our troops!

We will hold regular elections for the grandmaster of the order via secret balloting. So sign in now.

All members of this Order shall hold the title of "Knight of the Fanatikan Order" as long as their membership lasts.

I'm in after finishing the final Demogame save with my first sucessful full scale Thermo-nuclear War I'm in for some world domination. Hmm... wonder if we can implement some of Pinky and the Brain's plans ;)

i hope so, my friend. our children need much space! and our enemies shall lie under our feet!

i wish to become a part of this order, lord disorganizer.

I welcome you in our order, knight plexus.

As he is a nation wide known military expert and known for his famous leadership, i would like to nominate falcon02 for the position of the "grandmaster".

Nominations will stay open until the national election starts. With the start of those elections, we will hold an open ballot in here among the nominees.

I would like to join the Fanatikan Order.

It shall be so, knight almightyjosh.

Funtion of the grandmaster:
The grandmaster of the order is responsible to guide the order thru the conquest of time. He will start discussions and be the first partner of contact for all knights of the order. He will have his own flag to put where he likes.
After each election of a grandmaster, the thread of the order will be restarted with a name resembling the term. The owner of the order shall receive the right to open the thread, the grandmaster gains ownership of the 2nd post. He can use this post to proclaim any information he likes or to organize campaigns.

Thanks, but I must turn it down this term, because I'm uncertian if I'm gonna have time in college to work on this... or if I'm gonna be spending 90% of my time building Engineering projects.

I nominate CivGeneral and Plexus

Welcome Knight Civgeneral.

...and I accept :D

Ah, i forgot to bring in another responsibility and right of the grandmaster: he can introduce any rank or position as well as titles for the members. he announces them. so he can put any1 in a rank he likes ;-)

And btw: I will decline my nomination for grandmaster as soon as 2 other nominees are there ;-) I like split responsibilities...

Our order is proud to inform all knights that we founded a business:
Fanatikan Security Services (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30480).
We offer protection and guarding services! The income will be in the groups balance, so maybe we will soon be able to buy a group-house somewhere!

Does that mean I lose the Rank of General??? :eek: :( :cry:

No. The Grandmaster can give ranks in the order. Not in the government. But if you loose the military race you might still be general in here ;-)

im in

Count me in, though I propose we be patient in acheiving our golas of conquest. Too aggressive too early can be dangerous.

I welcome our newest knights, Stuck_As_a_Mac as Danke!
And i still need an accept or decline from plexus for his nomination to grandmaster.

Announcment:
I think about closing the business we just opened due to the incredibly high taxes being charged by our crazy financial leaders. 10gpt base tax for a business is way to high for a business. We also should consider a merger with an already existing security firm, but received no appropriate offer yet.
Any comments/ideas?
The only possibility to keep up the business would be charging all members of the order some money (like 1-2gpt), which i would not like at the moment.

Well, I'm not entering the Race this Term, cause I'm not sure of time... so I request I remain a General... I don't even have to be a 5-star one.

Count me in. My brothers, the time for glory is coming upon us quickly. We have seen before how a proper military is the only real way to success and survival in this vicious game of research, war, and realpolitik. Come, let us raise up our arms and spill the blood of Fanatika's enemies.

I wish to join.

Welcome to the order, Knight Grandmaster and Knight Zarn.
I also would like to announce Plexus accepted his nomination for the granmaster election, and as we now have 2 candidates i thankfully decline.

We will so have 2 candidates, civgeneral and plexus, for that position if noone else decides to be nominated until 23:59 GMT tonite.

We will have a total secret balloting, as eyrei volunteered for the vote-counter. See post below for details.

I am also a Jedi Master, so please call me Master Zarn. (Actually, I am going to be like Yoda in this game minus the speech problem) I know that this is your group and I am not trying to take it over. I will fall behind you, when it comes to the group.

1) do not post your vote in here
2) pm you vote to eyrei (http://forums.civfanatics.com/private.php?s=&action=newmessage&userid=3160), he will count them and post the result
3) place you vote as fast as possible, before the 1st of september
4) the ballot starts tonite at 23:59 gmt.
5) ONLY knights of the order are allowed to vote. eyrei will check this.

our business was closed by me until further notice at least until the tax is clearly stated. i dont want to ruin our order from the start.

the ballot is open! pm your vote for plexus or civgeneral to eyrei!

hey dis, i would like to join, let war be brought down apon our enemies who dare defy us in our holy quest for perfection (i am a warrior god by name might as well be a warrior....... something by nature)

Welcome Knight WarriorZeus.... And send your vote for gransmaster to Eyrei please ;-)

Ah. Eyrei: How are the standings in the secret ballot?

This election is over. CivGeneral will represent this citizen group. Is there any need to post the results publicly? BTW, I only received 4 votes...

Congrats, CivGeneral.

Congrats CivGeneral, Grandmaster of the Fanatikan Order!

@eyrei: well, with only 4 votes i think no ;-)
@CivGeneral: please open a new thread for the order, with your statement on top and a list of all knights. You will be responsible for the 1st term.
@All: please more activity on the next election at the end of term1!
