Telepathic Office for Xeno-Emphatic Affairs
Japanatica has a tradition for telepathic gifts, and since 4000 BC is an era of
mysticism and divine winds (Kamikaze) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now making a Preemptive soothsaying on what alien nations that will face us out there. Our proud people has found that we live next to a bountiful riverbed of neverending cereal crops, with lush tropical forests and rolling hills to the North, pleasant fields to the West, a large range of hills south and some dense leaved forests to the southeast.

The question remains, how long will we be in this paradise on our own, undisturbed, an dby applying and mobilizing the collective clair voyance of Japanatica, which nations will we see.

In order for us to simplify this, which nations do we never meet in this world of the fifteen potential ones. There are five nations we will never meet.
The Foreign Ministry challenges Japanaticans to come up with the five civilizations we will never meet in this game, and this will be very interesting to see who wins, unless some dork presses F10.

The Prize will be Provolutions full support as election campaigner for the Fifth
Term in the Fifth Demogame, as telepathic skills should be rewarded.

As this is an open poll, people that answer more than five nations or less than five nations will be severely discredited people in Japanatica, failing to identify
the very number that is the same as they have fingers on the hand.
More or less than five options answered, will be mocked in public, with reference to name :).

Statstically, it is roughly a chance of 2 to 1000 to get all five right, which makes the probability that a Japanatican has indeed complete telepathic skills, to be that only 20 %
chance that one single indiviual has them, or maybe as little as 10 % that one has them if
we consider the average show up of some 50 %.

Oh well. I just randomly guessed, and anyways, Pro's help may be useful, assuming he doesn't sabotage me.

The Chinese, The Egyptians, The English, The French, The Germans

China and France because I dont like pink.

Egypt and England because they are 1 and 2 on my most hated list.

Germany because I needed a fifth and it was right below the other 4.

Babylon, China, Egypt, India, and Rome. Do we get a small prize, like in the lottery, for only getting two or three right? ;)

Oh yeah, I choose my civs don't I ..... :)

Edit: Maybe we should have included Japan and seen how many people don't know what civ we are playing as :D :lol:

I calculated the chances of being completely correct randomly as

333/1000000 exactly, which is about 1 in 3000, if we meet everybody before they are killed :D

First of all, I am not telepathic, and neither is the following citizen.

Babbler, classical_hero, Epimethius, Fat Turtle, Gregski, MSTK, msz4, RegentMan, ScytheofDeath, TimBentley

In truth, all I did was pick the first five on the list.

blackheart, BlueNine, Chieftess, Civman2004, Coinich, Curufinwe, Fier Canadien, Gregski, Immortal, MSTK, Noldodan, RegentMan, TimBentley

These voted for Egypt, which is NOT in the game, and are all qualified.

However, these people did more than one mistake, which is the maximum, Coinich (Romans and Babylonians), Regentman (Romans and Babylonians), Gregski and MSTK (Aztecs and Babylonians), Curufinwe and Fier canadien (Aztecs and Zulu). Tim Bentley (Zulus and Babylonians)

Blackheart, BlueNine, Chieftess, Civman2004, Immortal and Noldodan are all powerful apprentices in the Telepathic Program. There can only be one of these six that wields the power of Telepathy of Xenorelations.

Who will be "The Apprentice" and who will be fired, only Sir Donald III knows :)

Perhaps I should host my "show" in the Gemstone Mountains (or what we ahve called them) and the "Horse Plateau" so that these guys can predict when the Babs would attack up and how we would do ;)

blackheart, wrongly "seeing" Iroquois as excluded, is removed from the list.
BlueNine, Chieftess, Civman2004, Immortal and Noldodan are now the candidates for the Telepathy Power.

Boy am I bad at guessing. Three of my choices in this poll we have already met (Babylonians, Iroquois, and Zulu's). Maybe all might choices would be their, so may we should change the question. :D :joke:

On next week's Episode, the Five remaining Candidates wil go North, and try to guess how long it will take to reach the Iriquois Borders from Immo. :)

Blue Nine , Chieftess and Noldodan are now the prime Tele-emphatic apprentices, and Sir Donald III, our William Pitt of Japanatica, will now decide which of these will be the Apprentice for the last DG5 Term election! :)

My review has only Chieftess having all 4 Picks. (Egypt, England, Greece, and Persia.) Her spare tire is Joan of Arc.

Blue Nine missed for America and Azteca, Nododan missed India and Russia.

And I have not found any others with 4.

Provolution

Correct, Chieftess won the tele-emphathic contest :) I will back her up for whatever office she runs for in Term V of DG V, the plot thickens.

Tele-empathic...that doesn't make sense :confused:
Telepathic is reading minds, empathic is reading emotions, and neither of these 2 have anything to do with predicting the future. How about foresight or prescience?

Provolution
Oct 24, 2004, 07:29 PM
Blackheart, I made it for you Americans, who believe in ufos, telepathic skills, talking in tongues, clair voyance, Elvis Presley and what have you. I gave you a dream and a fun contest :) Whatever the term, it was a fun ride, and Chieftess made it.

With this poll, I am hereby stating my full and complete support for Chieftess as Governor
of Minami. She conquered Minami, she is building Minami, she named Minami and she lives with Minami. Minami is the lovechild of the Japanatican Sun Goddess, amazon of the amazons, warrior of warriors, ominpotent General for milennia, leader of men and women in battle, the dominatrix of the ballots and finally, a brilliant strategic planner and micro-manager! How can a man say no to a candidate as Chieftess to Governor of Minami! Hail Hail Hail Chieftess, the Telepathic Xeno-master of Japanatica! :D

PS, I supported her in the nomination thread.
