Term 1

President - Chieftess
Vice President - Grey Fox

Welcome to the President's Office for Term 1! The campfire debates are over, and the votes have been cast! I am proud to be the first president to lead this young kingdom into a nation. We will start with a Game Creation Day, in which a thread will be created here (link coming).

Our first goal is exploration. What does the land around us hold? Do we have any neighbors, and are they friendly? Hostile? We also know the arts of creating splended bronze objects, and how to make our archer-hunters into fighters. We also have some brilliant citizens who are constantly figuring out how the world around us works. Philosphers, scientists...

Once the game is created on Game Creation Day, we will discuss where we should explore, and what new wonders our scientist should work on.

All Hail Chieftess

I am happy to be able to congratulate you. And i thank you for appointing me as Ambassador of our Embassy in Apolytonia (http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60632).
We should expect their Embassy here soon. Treat them nice!

I must also request opening other embassies in other nations, like the civ2 demogame here and on apolyton. Or any other online civ-game we find on our journeys thru the universe.
Every embassy should be treated as an office, withe the ambassador as the office head. But no 2 embassies should be lead by the same person if other volunteers exist. Embassies will register as office in the office registry (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30146).

I have herd of Three Demogames over at Apolyton. The firstone is the one we all know (Apolyton Civ III Demogame), and then thare is a Civ III and a SMAC Demogames. I suggest we look into the other two demogames at Apolyton (Since Obviously, we are establishing a Embassy at there Civ II Deomgame ;) )

No hard feeling about the election... none at all... :cry:

Shaddap Octavian, least you aren't stuck as a deputy ;).

Oh yes, one more thing. I am compiling list of city names that are to be used during the game for the cartographic office. Chieftess and Grey Fox, what do you want your respective cities names?

Currently, I am thinking of: Bavaria (or Bayern), and CSX. I could think of some more...

Take your time... This city will stand for thousands of years, we don't want a bad one.

I think Bavaria is a great name.

And I am leaning towards Bavaria. It's the town (village) where my great-grandmother grew up.

"In old, Im talkin old, Barvaria" *Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo*
Herr Libken, "The Producers"

I kinda like it. It sounds German. That's good.

It *IS* German. ;)

Its german and we are playing "ze germans" (snatch quote), it would be a great name for the Capital and would be something different to berlin, just one thing, isnt it a german state, not a town, i think munich is the capital of the state of barvaria...(im australian and talking about german states im in trouble if im wrong), anyway sounds great either way............... GO BARVARIA

Edit: oh and GO EL PRESIDANTE CHIEFTESS and GO FANATIKA

I dnno, It's a bit too german to me, why not something unrelated to the civ we happen to be playing?

I like Bradenburg Gate, still, because it's the gateway to a new Civ Demo Game :D.

What about Fountain Gate, cos it's a crappy shopping centre on the outskirts of the city I live in?

googenhimen! or however you say hi in german....

I would go with Chieftess's suggestion with the naming. May the force be with you, Chieftess.

I like Chieftess's Bavaria suggestion as well... *grumbles as part of family from Munich*

I'm thinking this could be a bit difficult since we won't have been able to explore anywhere yet (i.e. a worker move). Also, we can't pick a science until we have a city. However, I think we'll manage.

We can pick a science since we know what will be available. The brief look about the immediate area will give us a clue of what area we are in.

Based on the 'Should We Build Here' poll, it looks like the citizens want us to settle where we are. The area to the north looks promising, as there seems to be a food resource - apparently cattle by most estimates. We will be settling our city of Bavaria this turn chat!

Dear Mrs. President,

i put up job-adds for the future ambassadors and for attachees for the existing embassies in the job-thread in the rpg-subforum.
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31048

We should have and index of all known foreign nations and with that an index of where we have embassies and who established embassies here.

I would propose maintaining a table of demo-nations in the foreign department and also associating the embassies as offices of the foreign department.

The table could look like:

nation our embassy their embassy
apolyton (http://apolyton.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=154) link (http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60632) link (idontknowrightnow)
1bigcommunity n/a n/a
civ webring forum link (http://www.civ2-forum.gamigo.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6883) n/a


Also we should maybe hire someone actively searching for contact to new nations and giving the FA the links.

This could be a position being treated like a chat-rep, so an acceptance poll is needed and he/she gets a 30g/tc payment, which is higher than the ambassadors-payment (he would propably he head-ambassador or something like that).

Far be it from me to interrupt as Im not involved with FA since i lost the runoff but I think that since ambassadors/attachess are essentially a part of the FA dept they should be involved with placing ambassadors/atachees to the various contacts we get in our travels thru the net universe in search of other demogames. Its has its RPG roots but i think its best served thru the Foreign Affairs Dept

I second Fionn, but just want to clarify there are NO rpg roots ;-) Its just placed there because the offices still reside there. And it was the only job-request thread we have.
The reason i requested the president was that it was a president matter up to now but this has to be decided for the "offices"="embassies"

Nah it does in its own way, because if we have ambassadors in the game to the Aztecs and whome ever our other neighbors are we would be writing reports like we were actuallt in the game, the other ambassadors wouldnt be "RPG style" For note i was thinking of both the game and our net ravels in search of demogames :)

Well, of course it has SOME kind of rpg style :-P But what has not? Anyways official recognition would be fine. And putting it onto FA.
We could also think of where to put our 2 foreign embassies we have in our forum ;-) Or do we leave them in the main forum? I believe doing that would be best.

This Idea has my full support, although Ehecatl Atzin now responds.

Sorry to interrupt the discussion, but Grey Fox, what do you plan on naming your city? The second one should be founded here soon...

BTW, I recommend New PDX. We should give Bill a home :D

Then what would Bill name his city?

Newer PDX? It was just a suggestion...

Or maybe "Real PDX"?
Or "The city formerly known as PDX"?

I would like to see the president sponsor discussion and a poll on where we want to continue our exploration. I was rather shocked this was decided "in the oval office" rather than in the public since now.

Oval office? I thought the presidential palace was still a cave...

BTW: Military would have control over our exploring worker. Ask Eklektikos to post some discussion.

Wow, will PDX be reborn again? One of the greatest pillars of a legendary civilization known as "Pheonatica"...:egypt:

octavian: well, even in a cave we can have a oval office (i almost wrote oral office here :-)

Cheiftess - where can I find the saved games? We should have a thread (none discussional) in the Government forum.

The thread is in the main forum. The turn-threads contain the saves. An index for those threads can also be found there.

@CT:
i requested stickyness for that one and maybe we should rename it to "Chat, Save and Logfile Index" or something like that so people find it ;-)

Thanks dis'

It wouldn't be sticky. For refernece, see the Section A of the CoS.

URGENT:
UPDATE CHAT INDEX! NO INSTRUCTION THREAD FOR NEXT TURNCHAT!

There was no reason for you to ban me from #civfanatics and #demogame after the chat was over. We are supposed to have free speech in Fanatika and I should be able to have a free debate with the Science and Domestic Leaders without our President squelching it!!!!

Donsig, as I said, the turn chat was over. But, flaming another chat member isn't constructive discussion. There were still other people in the chat, and that kind of flame war denies others the right to be heard. Why? Because with you can Fionn yelling at each other, it drowns out the citizen's voice. I had to ban you as a chat op to keep the peace in the forums. As president, I also had to make sure everyone had a voice. Now, please don't troll in other threads. If you have a complaint, take it to the citizens forum, or the judiciary!

Actually, your action of banning donsig requires the Judge Advocate to investigate that action.

No one else was discussing anything CT. I was talking to Strider and Fionn. No one was yelling and no one else was kept from the discussion. I have several complaints and I've been posting them in the appropriate threads. I am not one to run to the judiciary every time something happens that I do not like. And I do not call bringing our leaders to task for their actions flaming or trolling.

Not that anyone cares, but Chieftess, as president, may now remove CultureFreak18 from office is she desires.

I care. Get rid of the deadbeat!

Every Game somebody tries to kick Donsig out! :lol: ;)
I don't think that anybody should be kicked out with out very good reason and the person should be warned first. Having said that I was NOT in the turn chat and so don't know if Cheiftess didn't warn Don'.

Chieftess, it has been 8 days since you've posted in your own thread. Are you still with us?

As long as she's not here, I'm gonna start moving some of my doughnuts into the office...

Go Homer! Be Presumptious! Go Homer!

The Great Iguanaman

Yes, I'm still here. :) Reading threads, modding the tournament forum. (checking saves, too)

Please post the turn chat instruction thread for Wednesday's turn. As no new schedule was posted on Sunday the schedule carries over so this week will be Wed/Sat.

End of term 1.
