Um... I'm part of the government, and I was trying to do something about the situation... But whatever. I vote for the NIP and IMWP. And I agree with Sonereal about how the whole problem started.

I vote nay.

It's rather telling when you think the sole purpose of the opposition is to harass the government...

Stop yelling, Arya. It's only been five hours since DT's logged on. As for the plan, to the best of my knowledge, the VP has agreed to take charge on that.

@Mosher: Thanks for the support. :goodjob: People have been calling on the Government to do something, and I figure that this is about one of the best things the government can do at the time. EDIT: Outlawing is a bit extreme. I would much rather that we still have assassins (albeit under the...

Yes, the basic nature of the guild is to provide support for a questionable act. That's what I'm trying to eliminate. With nationalization they become an asset to the nation instead of a catalyst for chaos, which is what they are now.

Yes, but during elections, they'll still accept contracts on politicians. That's what I'm trying to avoid here--a way for people to off their enemies with no fear of reprisal.

Live I've said before, the only foreign threats and domestic terrorists (e.g., Copperheads from last game, an ilduce-level situation) well be targeted. The opposition will not be touched. The guild will not turn into a secret police-like organization. The point is, as it exists now, the Guild...

Equal Rites, by Terry Pratchett. Believe it or not, I've only been introduced to the Discworld series of novels recently, and have gotten hooked. :D Pratchett's work is simply amazing on so many different levels.

That's the problem. If we let it act as it normally acts during elections, what we get is people assassinating their political rivals with little fear of reprisal. This is the fundamental problem with the Assassins Guild, that it lets people off their enemies, with guaranteed anonymity, too...

Oh, so we should have a completely unregulated body of assassins running around? I can see how that idea would go over so well. :rolleyes: It's odd that you call government regulation of the Guild unwarranted intrusion, but advocate a limit on their activities--something that by its nature is...

Negotiate amongst yourselves.

I stand by my proposal: The AG becomes an integrated part of the government--They cannot attack politicians, cannot accept out of government jobs; everything they do must have final approval from the President, other than that, they are autonomous. Their purpose would be to take out foreign...

I'd imagine that Ipads would be good for reading newspapers, magazines, web browsing... But TBH, for the ammount of money it costs, I'd probably just get a notebook instead--same price, nearly the same portability, and much more power as well.

Nice. It's a really momentous milestone. :goodjob: Congratulations to Capellan, and long live Civ!
