Die Fanatischen Zeiten
September 1, 2002
Volume 0, Issue 0 (free)

Welcome to the initial, free sample, issue of Die Fanatischen Zeiten! The creation of our world is scheduled for today, Sunday, September 1, 2002 at 8:30 pm eastern US time. The turn chat schedule is here.

Our new Minster of War, Jimmy Stewart, I mean Eklektikos, has proposed an early aggressive expansion strategy. Basically it calls for the creation of a force of 5 or 6 veteran archers. This force would then be escorted by a spearman and would ensure some early Liebensraum for Fanatika. An important aspect of the plan is that only one settler would be raised in the capital before the creation of the archer strike force.

The Fatican Science Department (FSD) has opened. The FSD has proposed opening with alphabet/writing/literature though the Minister of War has countered with a proposal for a the wheel/horseback riding and/or a quick route to iron working.

Article I of the constitution has finally passed the Senate vote thanks to our Senate (Almightyjosh). We now have a census and an active census. Shaitan has also posted the figures from the recent elections so these census figures can be easily checked by all citizens. The senate vote is here. The election returns are here. The presidential race garnered the most votes (53) and future changes to the constitution will require 27 yes votes. I counted 447 votes in the 11 elections listed giving an active census of 41. Note that these figures are not official.

Hehe... Liebensraum=Room for Love? Please cut out the "i" ;-)

Fatican? Are we religious? ;-)

The latter is a typo and the former is just my poor German. I actually like Room for Love though.

Yeah... was quiete funny to read, but i also liked it ;-)
Leave it as it is ;-)
Thats our first Fanatikan word for our dictionary:

Liebensraum
Room for further expansion. Normaly taken by love or war. Or both. Compare to "Lebensraum" in german.

Is it possible for a non-player of the RPG to get this publication? I looks very good...

Isn't everyone in the RPG? You get 1000 gold to start and an income as the game continues. If all you want to do is spend it on this publication there's nothing wrong with that. (Though I may raise the price since you could afford it. )

BTW - I pmed the latest complimentary issue out. If you like it please subscribe!

Ok, I will be your first subscriber!

I will subscribe as well. Very useful summary of the happenings in this game.

I guess i'll subscribe.

im in, and its 100 gold. that was a strider made issue. Its instead of pension. also, last nites tc duznt give u ne $$ cause we hav no cities. and you earn around anywhere from 10 to 20odd gold per turn chat.

I'll subscribe. 10 issues, on tenth I may or may not renew.

I subscribe for a minimum of 5 an then until further notice...


Did you notice someone choosing turnbased payment cant afford your paper if only 1 turn per chat is played ;-)
Maybe you should go down to 10 per chat and get additional 10 for a weekly summary ;-)

I'll subscribe to this fine publication, and would be happy to contribute content if so desired.

umm.. your price is way to high. make it, like 1 g per issue. also, u need 2 keep books for this. (see bank regarding price)

im suscribing, but i would like to suggest lower prices.
i can buy an old wreck with all the suscrbing money!

An excellent publication, Donsig. I've enjoyed both free issues.

If I start off with 100g and make 10g per chat, your subscription rate is way too high for me too subscribe. But as you've just made 700g on your first 7 subscriptions, I think you can lower your price now. I'm with the penguin, if it's dropped to 1g per issue, I'll subscribe. Keep up the good work!

I will subscribe for 5 issues, even though I may need them to wallpaper my house at those prices. Are we trying to role-play Germany's hyperinflation from the interwar years?? Anyway, since I don't have to pay any other bills yet, I will subscribe!!
