My Proposal for the MIA
(Without the Anne Elk joke)
Fanatica has reached an important step in its development. With our decision to go for a conquest victory having reached a consensus, the game has made a shift. We must take over the world and not trigger domination. That takes planing on what to raze and what to keep. That would be my job. Deciding what wonders to build (all of them, but of course) would be mine as well. The more difficult job would be where cough::Groton::cough.
My timeline: First week in office, I plan to create a master list of large AI cities and cities w/ Wonders. these would be keepers for when they are conquered. Other cities would be eliminated. Also, any gaps in MAINLAND FANATICA (ONLY) would be taken care of (by the second week). No cities would be founded outside of the mainland unless for resource absorption, need of a harbor or a temporary healing factory (prior to Battlefield Medicine).
This is my platform. Benifiting the mainland and colonizing everywhere else.

Excellent, we are going to have an MIA

Glad to see you back SaaM!

I'll decline this one and run somewhere else, there are plenty of positions with no candidates at all. Not that I wouldn't mind competition, but we will have twice as many positions as active players the way things are going.
