Welcome to the Presidential Office. Please feel free to post any of your concerns regarding policy, or anything else you feel warrants my attention. The door to this office is open for all citizens to speak their mind.

I will be adding more to this thread soon, so stay tuned.
 
The Aide to the Vice-President is present :).

I would also like to apply for the possition of "Aide to the President"
 
Congratz on winning the election. Hope it will be a good term :)
 
I have concerns about this war with Egypt that we have blundered into. Not only are we unprepared militarily we have no clear idea of what our war aims are. We seem to be gearing up 100% for this war to the utter disregard of the course we had previously decided upon. We recruited warriors with the idea of retraining then as legionarries, yet our treasury is capable of refittting only half our warriors. And we talk of establishing embassies and bribing allies which will only further reduce our military modernization program. We desperately need a discussion to set reasonable goals for this war. I look to you, Mr. President, to begin that discussion and I do hope that when you do so you will summarize not only our current national situation but the direction we had been going prior to the war. We cannot make intelligent choices about the war in a vacuum. We must consider our other national goals as well. Are we ready for a golden age?

Message from the Aide to the President and Vice-President and trom the Jade Commando General

I would like all members of the prescidency and presidental staff to partisipate a discussion regarding our victory path

Victory Path - Discussion
 
People of Fanatica,

It has come to my attention that we still have no presence in our Culture Office. I am therefore asking that Culture Deputy Plexus start a temporary Culture thread while I issue a three-day warning to current Culture Leader curufinwe.

If curufinwe does not respond to my PMs by Sunday June 8th, I will assume the position is vacant and Plexus will become the new Culture Leader.
 
Thank you, Mr. President. I will do my best in leading the office for the next three days or the rest of the term.
 
I have finally figured out this month's chat schedule. All that remains undecided is the final chat.
 
DZ, I am dissapontet by you. You have been egositic and havent chosen a single tc that europenas could attend to. All the tcs you have there are in the middle of the night for people who live in europe. You should change this. Do it like Shaitan did it :)
 
John; 2000 GMT is hardly middle of the night. 2000 GMT is 2200 Amsterdam time (and also 2200 Oslo time). DZ plays only limited terms (4 or 2).

I do agree that a bit more spread would be more suitable. For instance Saturday or Sunday 0900 EST = 1300 GMT. Or 11:00 EST = 15:00 GMT.
 
Rik: Srry my fault. But I do think it shoudl be spread anway..

BTW: AFAIK Oslo is in +1GMT so 2000gmt would be 21gmt ;P
 
@Sir John, I am sorry if you do not agree with my chat schedule. Unfortunately these are the only times I really have to play the game. I have a static work schedule, which regreattably means a static chat schedule.

If you have other examples of my egotism, please let me know. I know that there are many times that I am abrupt and to the point, but that is who I am. Also, taking on the responsibility of the chat has been more a bit tougher than I expected so please accept my apologies if I have ever offended you in any way.

@SaaM - The reason I stopped the chat early is because I find that we may have to dip into the treasury for upgrades more than I had expected. I will be posting a discussion on this early tomorrow.

Please, if anybody has any further questions or complaints, please let me know. It's the only way I'll learn..... ;)
 
Personally I have had no problem with the chat schedule so far, and am only one hour behind you Sir John ;)
 
For what its worth I think 9pm chat times are great.
 
Mr. President - I would enjoy 9PM chat myself, but as I live in PST, I will never get to enjoy that luxury.

If we keep the income level as it is, I don't see a problem in Warrior upgrades. We only need to upgrade Warriors from the West. I don't really understand what your doing with that Worker East of Xak Tsaroth, but I believe I would connect that city to the iron and keep Nar Shadda unconnected and building Warriors. Some one put a barracks in Xak Tsaroth to build Warriors but this is not required as when they are upgrades to Legionary staus, they become veterans. With a Barracks, Xak Tsaroth would be much better suited to produce Legions. Leve the Warriors to Nar Shadda. You would have to use the Worker to connect XT on the hill to its Southwest, and the Warrior in that city to pillage the road to NS.

If we change the Great Wonder project to a Barracks (it's still not to late), we can start pumping out vet Legionaries from Gorina. I would like to see a Library put in very soon though.

With these changes, I don't think that you'll have a problem raising the neccessary gold for upgrades. Our production will be right on track in all areas (Settler, Worker, Warrior, and Legion).
