The Philosophers

Welcome to the Philosopher Group! This clan puts outright pride in the expansion of knowledge and the world around us.

What is the Philosophers Group?
As a group of citizens we are commited to learning and expanding the way we think to make us the smartest in the world. We are commited to building a pillar of books and learning from it and spreading our smartness throughout the world.

Plans and Aims:
-Put more money in Science to get the upper hand of other nations.
-Expand the mind of not only ourselves but the world by building Libraries and Universities.
-Build a large structure that will stand the test of time for a world wide reference for books.
-Win other civilizations through clever tricks and better minds than by attacking them with warriors.

Who We Are
1. Amirsan (President)
2. Fier Canadien
3. Rik Meleet
4. CivGeneral
5. Bootstoots
6. Bacon King

Supporters

Honorery Members
Term One:

I'd like to join this group.

As Founder of the COP, I think that our two groups may have a great, fraternal relation in the future of this game.

This does work well with COP. Sign me up.

Welcome my fellow scientists! You will have a great time here!

I wish to sign up for this citizens group. This would fit perfictly to my interest in Psychology in RL :).

I'll join this group.

@CivGeneral,

Now Dr. J and Mr. H. don't even cover it. NOW you are in three groups :lol:. You are truly a Renaissance Man/Woman/Philosopher :crazyeye:

Our First AIM or Goal
To research the secrets of Literature before anyone else and use its powers to consolidate the way our nation thinks and looks for information.

First Matter of Business
What shall we expand our knowledge to first? (this will have to wait until Civ Traits are decided)


Group Announcement
I am in interest of running for Science Minister, I hope I have your support. :)

Also I think the member of this group in which wins the elections for Science Minister should become an Official of this group for the term, though this makes it hopefully that the group supports those who are running for the same office out of this group. (something like that, I would like to be nice and allow others to have a chance to moderate the group, its like a Republican President which is usually the head of the Republicans and are supported by the Republicans and represent them, something like that) Wel will see how this will actually work...

As President of the Defenders of the Free Republic, I would like to extend the hand of friendship to this group. We support education, as an educated populace can better govern itself. So long as work for your agenda within the system of laws, you have our support. :)

As "The Philosophers" our first goal should be our defining tech; Philosophy.

no, rik, becuase we dont even know what Philosophy is, though we are "Philosophers" means that soon anough we will discover Philosophy and name it after us. :) Right now what we know we can get is literature. ;)

Is it just me or was that a singularly nonsensical combination of statements? http://www.counterglow.com/forum/images/smilies/hmm.gif

:lol: yeah, I was at school, and I was typing kinda fast... oops.

Sounds like a good group, I'll join.

I wish to join. After all, the ignorant get crushed more often than the technologically advanced in this game. I would like to mention though that excelling scientifically requires a large enough civilization to generate significant research, not just building scientific improvements in a puny nation and having a high portion of our revenues going to science. Perhaps, the crafty use of military forces and an occasional temporary decrease in scientific support can lead to greater support of science in the long run.

Great, you are in! Welcome!

I have nominated myself to the Science Department and Minister. Please, those, vote for me! :D

I'm a warmonger at heart, but I know the necessity of an educated populace. I thus express my support to the philosophers for we can better win our wars with superior guns and swords.

I will Join

This works well with NOW: culture/science prevents flipping and science gives us advanced units.

I join.

I am a philosopher, may I join? :D

I'm the grumpy old philosopher. I'll join. :p

Pardon my camels.

Hrm, so where is the leader of this group? Should we meet somewhere and discuss? Can we get a technological spreadsheet of where we are as a peoples so far? Also, do we have a town we meet in, or should we put it to a vote? Someone should nudge Amirsan.

We should try to influence the government to put more time and money into the study of Theology (for Education, Printing Press, Democracy and Free Artistry).

I am interested in being a philosopher.
I believe in equality, progressive technology choices, and harmony with our enviroment.

None of the original members seem to be around really, or at least they don't seem to be paying this idea any attention.

I wanna join to the hole game of democracy but there are no clear instructions on how to do this plz help me
