C3B Election Fun!

SoZ isn't truly obsolete until cavalry so we have some time.

You just lost my potential vote for CoIA, CoFA, CoMA and JotC! I don't think we can afford letting you go from that ambassador-position! :goodjob: :D

Hmm, so I really am chained to my desk here at the embassy :p

As for C3Bs election, if Cassi(n)o will be going to war no mather what, we really should get the moderates elected.
I will give it a 80% chance :(
 
If we know the route with one ocean tile in between, we can do so-called galley hopping and deliver our AC units to their destination on another continent. This would mean we lose half of the galleys on this ocean tile but all units will be alive. It is costly but possible.

Galley hopping/ship chaining is allowed by the rules, no problem there.
 
Let's first focus on C3b's elections. Then focus on the location of the other continent and then focus on getting an army there.

While in the meantime preventing C3B from annihilating us and preparing ourselves for a (hopefuly never neccessarily) strike at C3B.
 
Debates are going on in C3B, if we do anything it wil be now. I fear that our recent border proposal hurt the moderate party, but it is better that we did that then had no answer. The next chat with C3B will be on FRIDAY at 21:00 GMT/14:00PDT/18:00 Brasilia time.

Apparently, Joker has retired since the last UN post came from Pggar.

Naw, he is just busy, he still is president. He said he would run out his term. It is like what DZ did, he was not so active, but still president, but we got someone else to play the save.
 
TENATIVE ELECTION RESULTS:
President: Master (BMP)
Minister of External Affairs: Jones (IND)
Comander of the Military: One vote differance between Krasan (BMP) and his unknown opponent (IND).

A little talk with Cat and Jones a week ago. My comments are in here too.

Johannes: ni mister mabassator!
Johannes : ambassator.
EMP - : Hail Johaness, you shoudl know who I am :p
Johannes: I THINK I know. ;)
EMP - : gosh, I thought I was a celebrity in C3b :p
Johannes: so, it seems that for some time we will be bothering the other with our civilization matters? ;)
Johannes : hahahaha!
EMP - : You are Minister-Elect correct?
Johannes: yes.

EMP - : another re :p
EMP - : fourth time!
Johannes gosh!
EMP - : :p
EMP - : So tell me, who will be ambassador?
Johannes: the same.
Johannes: I will keep the cat for you.

Really? I thought Cat did not want to.
Johannes: but she is still our, ok? :D

Darn!

EMP : :-D o darn, some of us were hoping she will come over here
EMP : you seem to read many of the chat logs :p
Johannes : if not, I would be the worst minister ever.
EMP - : :p
EMP - : I'm glad to see an independent has been elected, I like new ideas
Johannes: welll...
Johannes: let's say that you must be glad that the opposition have lost.
EMP - : :p they wanted war?
Johannes: since they were born. ;)
Johannes: but don't worry.
Johannes: they party doesn't even exist anymore. :D
EMP: good, we would not want war!
EMP: did Krasan get that commander job he wanted?
Johannes: say the truth...
Johannes: there is one or two among you that want.
EMP: I'm sorry, I don't understand that :p
Johannes : there is one or two citizens in CFC that would like war.
EMP: a few got away when we burned them all :p
Johannes: hahahaha!
Johannes: ok, I tried to make people accept death penalty in Brazukas too, but people disliked the idea... :D
Johannes: gimme a minute, please?
EMP: :-D ok
Johannes: when it will be the next meeting?
EMP: well when is good for you
EMP: I like the weekend, since I am still at school
*** shandistanley@hotmail.com (The Cat - We Got Nine Lives, yeah, We Do) has joined the conversation.
EMP: preferable an early time
EMP: CAT!
The Cat: ?
Johannes: well, our ambassador is here. ;)
The Cat: what?
EMP: just saying hi :p
The Cat: almost ending my term too :) enjoy the next chat emp
The Cat: lol
Johannes: your term will restart, forgot that?
The Cat: oh btw. Krasan asked me to have it settled with you since he is without his computer now... so he wants us to have it settled to Sunday
Johannes: and don't even THINK on saying "no"
The Cat - We Got Nine Lives, yeah, We Do: No. I will not be able to continue being ambassador right now
EMP: please
Johannes: cat...
The Cat: sorry guys...
The Cat: I almost didn't sleep last night thinking of it

Wow, I never lost sleep over the ISDG.

The Cat: and I don't feel I am up to it... I can't continue doing my best when I feel so bad about things
The Cat: and hey, that' s just me. I either do my best or I don't do at all :)
EMP - : (Emp thinks kidnapping cat is becoming a better option) :p
Johannes: cat, lembra do q eu te disse ainda n COMEÇO das eleições? Isso, agora, é traição tua!

Translation: cat, remembers the q I still said n to you START of the elections? This, now, is treason yours!
If someone can get me a better translation I will like it.


The Cat: Actually Emp kidnapping me might not be necessary at all
The Cat: lol
EMP: :p you will come on your own will now :p
The Cat: Jones: things changed and YOU KNOW that... YOU KNOW what I went through the last two days
The Cat: YOU KNOW I was offended and humiliated by someone who is now entrusted with an important position
The Cat: I don't agree to that and I won't support that
Johannes: and you know that I've telling you to not some people so seriously...
The Cat: I'll be around whenever you need me, of course... but I don't feel like I could have any position in the government right now
Johannes: and I don't know that, because you know that I could not read it.
The Cat: I didn't... until it became personal... and until SOME PEOPLE made me look like a pariah and said the fault was mine anyways
The Cat: oh well, I got a real life...
Johannes: seem that you get an extra fanatic nationality! :D
The Cat: I don't have to be upset because of a game
EMP: :-D yea cat, well give you a medal or two, and a house on our island
The Cat: lol good emp, I'll move there
EMP: :-D
The Cat: I'm hoping you don't have rude *******s in there

Wow, cursing about other teammates, glad we don’t do that.

The Cat: Men who are really mad because a woman could take a position and do a better job than they could
EMP : no comment, I wanna keep my job :p
The Cat: lol your job is eternal
EMP: :-D of course, I am chained to my desk after all
The Cat: I thought as much... well I'm leaving before someone thinks of chaining me
The Cat: cats must be free after all :)
EMP: :p but emperors are not
The Cat: yup... bad choice, you made :P

Yea, now I stuck being ambassador forever :p

EMP: :-D
EMP: you better still show up to chats, we like you
The Cat: maybe I will... maybe not... but I like you too :)
EMP: :-)
EMP: well then, I would like to know who I will be working with :p
The Cat: That you'll have to ask Jones
The Cat: he is the new Minister of Foreign Affairs
EMP: I am :p
EMP: if he is still there
The Cat: he is... pissed at me I am afraid
The Cat: I hadn't notified him of my decision yet
The Cat: since it is the first time I talk to him after I took the decision
EMP: :p darn, and he just told me you would be it
The Cat: he didn't know
EMP: I understand
The Cat: I spent most part of the night thinking of it
EMP: :p most of it! I only spend 5 seconds to think If I will run
Johannes: Hi Emp.
EMP: hey
Johannes: let's say that I'm working in an internal affair.
Johannes: cat itself. ;)
EMP: :p
EMP: ok, tell me when you two are done arguing, I do have a little business
The Cat: by the way I am not an it... I am a her
Johannes: ops, herself, sorry.
(20 Minute Pause)
EMP: (polite cough)
Johannes: sorry, but cat is something hard to convince sometimes... ;)

About time you noticed me.

EMP: :p
EMP: well I do have some business
Johannes: well, we can talk now.
Johannes: I tried the last move now.
Johannes: But I do think that she is "reverse-psychology" proof. :)
EMP: :-D Reverse-Psychology, I love that stuff!
EMP: well anyways
Johannes: I hate it!
EMP: :p
Johannes: there is just two friends that can do that efficiently against me.
Johannes: and they really know how! :P
Johannes: :D
EMP: :p
EMP: well I must insist, A LOT, that you guys make a counter-proposal for borders
Johannes: it's being discussed.
Johannes: Have you already received the game back?
EMP: I mean as in "I really want it" for the chat
Johannes: ops...
Johannes: ;)
EMP: :p
Johannes: Then, I need to look how it will go.
EMP: the last turn I see is the info on turn 97, but I do not run the save process
Johannes: Election time usually means "nothing else is done in the country" here... :(
Johannes: Especially because with the full change in the govern now, we will have to meet and discuss.
Johannes: But you are aware that people is 99% certainly not accept the actual border, no?
EMP: we Know
EMP: but you want to give us something to walk about
EMP: you really do ;-)
Johannes: haha!
Johannes: no problem.
Johannes: I hope until there have already had time to meet the new ...
Johannes: how can I say that minister in English?
Johannes: interior minister CAN'T be.
EMP: you mean as in the man who runs domestic matters?
EMP: that could be Interior Minister, or Minister of Internal Affairs
EMP: either way is good
Johannes: yep, that.
Johannes: minister of internal affairs.
Johannes: well, I don't know in CFC... but this is in here the guy more in charge of deciding the development routes of the country.
Johannes: what includes, deciding the best next city spots. ;)
Johannes: I want to see his ideas of next cities.
Johannes: For what I talked to Cat, seems that you already know about the foundation of "São Luiz"?
EMP: the southern most city yes
Johannes: how your citizen have reacted to that?
EMP: :p;
EMP: let me think of how to put it
Johannes: thinking on LOTR, it looks like an angry dwarf thinking about it ad holding an axe with a not nice smile on its face... :D

Uh-ho, LOTR nerd.

EMP: :p
EMP: we were.. rather unhappy about it
Johannes: well, emp, this is my horrible keyboard, horrible keyboard, this is emp. :P
EMP: :p
EMP: we are talking about it too, A LOT, we will give an official statement on the chat

I sniped out the border stuff, if you want a copy PM me.

Johannes: may I have made myself clear, or not?
Johannes: ;)
EMP: sorry, I am behind on about 5 hours of sleep, and it is late
EMP: :p
EMP: how about I save it, and I will read it tomorrow, when I am more awake, I do not get it right now
Johannes: no problem. ;)
Johannes: btw
Johannes: what time is it there right now?
EMP: 10:00 PM
Johannes: come on, it's early! :D
EMP: but I got school, and every morning I have to save up at 5:00AM
EMP: :-D
Johannes: ok, now ok. ;)
EMP: all Brazilians seam to stay up late\
Johannes: bad habit in here. ;)
EMP: :p
EMP: before I go, what is your GMT?
Johannes: is it proper written? "habit"?
EMP: yes, don't doubt your English, it is good
Johannes: I think... plus 3.
Johannes: but it means 2-4 hours difference, depending in who is in the save time.
EMP: no it is not plus three :p
EMP: it must be minus, are you not in Brazil?
Johannes: gimme a second
Johannes: ah, ok, wrong sign.
EMP: minus
EMP: :p
Johannes: payed attention to the "mantissa"... :D
EMP: :p
EMP: o yea, by the way, I like your title on the forums
EMP: :p
Johannes: my title?
EMP: down with bush is it?
Johannes: hahaha! I didn't expect you would find that!
Johannes: good, seems that we have similar ideas.
Johannes: at least in real world, let's see in the game world.
EMP: :p let's hope so
EMP: and when do you want the chat?
EMP: Saturday or Sunday?
EMP: I like early so our European players can come
Johannes: can't tell you right now.
Johannes: btw, is it here in msn?
Johannes: or still in IRC channels?
EMP: if no one shows up other than me from Fanatica, we can have it on MSN, but if someone else comes who does not have MSN, we have to have it in the IRC
EMP: by the way, I a -7 PDT until the end of the month, then -8 PST, so I do not like waking up too early,
EMP: as in before 7:00 AM is too early, but after that it is cool
Johannes: PDT?
EMP: Pacific Daylights time
EMP: I live in San Diego By the way
Johannes: ok, close to my brother. ;)
EMP: so that is why it is Pacific
EMP: :p you have a brother here?
EMP: *have
Johannes: yes
Johannes: old brother.
Johannes: lives in LA.
EMP: o LA
Johannes: let's put like that: I'll see if any other of the new govern members wanna come for this chat already.
EMP: please do
Johannes: OTHERWISE what was settled between you and ours?
EMP: we will see what will be, I can't tell the future
EMP: :p
EMP: I don't think I understand the question
Johannes: didn’t get.
Johannes: haven't you settled the next chat with the actual people still?
EMP: anytime is good, since I am usually the only one
EMP: but remember that many are in Europe, and I like to give a chance to them
EMP: but, I am the only real important person
Johannes: ok.
Johannes: no problem, since the most important is also not me, but the ambassador.
Johannes: which I hope will be cat.

I hope it will be. She was a great source of intelligence.

EMP: me too, but we will see
EMP: well it has been nice speaking to the third generation of ME people :)
Johannes: well, it' ice to be talking to the chinned guy of fanatics! :D
EMP: chinned :p
Johannes: chained, I mean.
EMP: HA
Johannes: I thought it means something, but I don't know what.
EMP: you know, a chain that you use to keep a dog to the ground or something
EMP: :p
EMP: see you later
 
As this was going on, I had a talk with Cat:

Session Start (MSN EMP -:The Cat ): Thu Oct 07 20:53:52 2004
*** shandistanley@hotmail.com (The Cat ) has joined the conversation.
EMP: "other people"? :p
The Cat: huh?
EMP: I never knew Brazilians were sexist :p
The Cat: oh they are
The Cat: and there are also the *******s
The Cat: who will do ANYTHING to get what they want

Cool, power-hungry Brazilians

EMP: you mean Mr. Johannes?
The Cat: nope
The Cat: I mean the Internal Affairs Minister they put in there now
The Cat: the guy did something AWFUL to me during the elections
EMP: you mean Mr. Bremp?
The Cat: no.. the new one
The Cat: Carlucasa

Good, a name, that is what I really wanted. Now we know who to take out :p

The Cat: he is one of those who wanted war with you guys to begin with
EMP: ah, I suppose he is one of those power-hungry moderates?
The Cat: definitely
The Cat: and an ******* as well

Maybe not all of the Moderate Party is good. But it looks like the power is corrupting them slowly. Next election, we need to make sure he does not win to keep peace.


The Cat: It's ok... I just don't think I have to put up with it....
EMP: you should not, I agree
EMP: Mr. Johannes seams like them
The Cat: Jones is nice
The Cat: he is just really upset that I decided not to work as the ambassador
EMP: well, he will get over not having the best woman in C3B working for him :p
The Cat : the only one actually... since the two others could be rugs for what they participate
EMP : I just hope you all don't descend into a warlike nation, that will be bad for the both of us
The Cat : I have no clue what they're gonna do.....
The Cat : Actually I'm just staying in JDD in order to watch... it's been three days since I last posted in the forum myself
EMP : I am glad to see that some people stand up for themselves, many Fanaticans do not
The Cat : Oh I sure do
The Cat : I don't agree to the things they are doing
The Cat : to most of the things, at least
The Cat : there was this stupid *****... the girl never said a word about the game... never helped...

Note to self: find out who she is, she may come in handy.

The Cat : and now she thinks the parties should be extinct

That would ruin all of the fun.

EMP : one person can be enough for change
The Cat : well thing is there are some people drooling over her
The Cat : so, she might end up dping it
The Cat : Can you imagine the mess it 'd be without the parties? we have enough problems with them already
EMP : you mean that parties are good?
The Cat : they are indeed
The Cat : can you imagine how many candidates we would have if it weren't for the parties?
EMP : I see
The Cat : there are around 60 people in the game
The Cat : probably about 5 or 6 people for each position
The Cat : it'd be a big mess
EMP : I see, I am glad that us in Fanatica are a direct democracy, we have nice and friendly
The Cat : I wish we were too... though with people like that man it would be impossible
The Cat : he did everything to get to the position he has now
The Cat : he stepped over many heads
The Cat : if you know what I mean

So this Carlucasa guy will do anything for power, I wonder if this includes war with Fanatica.

EMP : I know, who is some internal affairs job so important anyways?
The Cat : Well the internal affairs minister is almost as powerful as the president
The Cat : actually he takes over if the president cannot be around for some reason
EMP : wow, I hope master stays around then, he seams nice
The Cat : He may be... if he wants to
EMP : :p you mean he has a dark side
The Cat : trust me on that

“Dark Side?” He doesn’t seam like it, but we will find out.


EMP : really, is that how he got his commander job because of that?
The Cat : I don't know.. there are many reasons why people voted on him
EMP : Ok
EMP : I see
EMP : if there is anything I can do to help you, I would
The Cat : There isn't :) The better thing I can do now is to keep away from some people
The Cat : because I don't think it is fair that I'd be hurt because of people who don't know how to respect others
EMP : Well, there are such things as "influencing people" via little ways :p
The Cat : hahaha I'm sick and tired of influencing people... they seem to use me to get what they want.. and then discard me

Darn, I was hoping we could make C3B a puppet government, with Cat as President.

EMP : you mean krasan used you, as ambassador ?
The Cat : I mean many people used me for many things
The Cat : mainly to look better
The Cat : and now that they do, they simply think 'I am not a good person'
EMP : I really don't see how they can think that, you have done great things for our nation, alliance wise
The Cat : It is a very complex story...
The Cat : but let's say...
The Cat : that they asked me to fight the other party for them
The Cat : I did
The Cat : and now that they have won, they go around and say 'I am too aggressive... I shouldn't have done it'

So Cat was a main reason why the Center-Left Party fell.

EMP : ah, I see you did a good job at it, since that party is no longer around
The Cat : pretty much like when they asked me to be Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Cat : and I said no
The Cat : They said I had to be... or otherwise they'd have no candidate
The Cat : ?I agree
The Cat : agreed
The Cat : and the next day they supported another person

I wonder who this person was.

EMP : ah
The Cat : with those kind of things happening I don't really feel at ease to work as an ambassador anymore
The Cat : I never appreciated being used
The Cat: sheesh can I kill Jones?
The Cat : lol
The Cat : We'll have a new Minister
EMP : :p I thought he was nice
The Cat : he is... but he insists too much! ack
EMP : :p a good debater I see
The Cat : definitely

Maybe as good as JokerDF?

The Cat : mainly when he is trying to convince me of something
EMP : darn, I have to debate against a good minister now :p
The Cat : I just promised him I'd think about it
EMP : :p that means no right?
The Cat : that means I'll revaluate things...
The Cat : think about what he told me
EMP : ok
EMP : well, we hope you stay our lady
The Cat : I'll think of it
The Cat : I'll try and rest and see if I wake up in better form tomorrow
The Cat : lol
EMP : :p a cat needs it's rest
The Cat : definitely
The Cat : and I didn't have enough sleep last night’
EMP : don't worry, everything has a positive
The Cat: hmm no, that new Minister of Internal Affairs is definitely a HUGE negative

We need to use this to our advantage.

EMP: I wish joker was still here
EMP : I think he would fix everything :p
The Cat: well I have the feeling Joker is as sick of it as I am
EMP: he is still around?
The Cat: he is currently without a computer
EMP: AGAIN! :p
The Cat: but yeah he still shows up

Yea Joker is god to the Brazilians, he has a lot of influence.

The Cat: sheesh I wanna play a mp
EMP: I do too, but I have school
EMP: :(
The Cat: I don't and I will :)
EMP : :p see you later then, Civ3 requires much concentration
The Cat: cya later :)
 
Yep, virtual reality rules the 21st century. People fall in love and marry over the Internet without ever seeing each other. Soon they'll be able to get children over by e-mail. I'm serious, no kidding here.
 
C3b needs more women in goverment ,they are indeed a great source of information.
TheCat is a sentimental and overal probably good/somewhat naive person ,good for us as people as her are less inclined to lie and deceat.
Emp is smart to create a strong bond between him and her ,make's her more inclined to "cry out" to Emp whan thing's aren't going her way at C3B ,wich means she'll have to explain the reason of her bad feeling.
All this doesn't mean Emp should feel that he is taking advantage of her ,she looks like an overall good person as i said and as thus is from our perspectve one of those people who we wanna do business and have a good bond with.

Their internal squabling is troublesome ,means that internally changes can come very quick with effect's for the alliance ,but it speaks to our advantage overall.I wonder if this was one of the reason's that Bremp may be less active at C3B.I wonder what the prospect could be of us stirring some squabling between strategic people at C3B ,maybe a good argument created by us between a person we don't like and one that has much respect at C3B can achieve the ousting of that disliked person.

So C3B wants a talk with our CoIA ,lets arrange that on the condition that their minister of internal affairs will be present ,being Carlucasa ,good way to learn to know the guy and maybe learn how we can influence him/his team against him.And since our CoIA is also president we should also drag Master of civ in the talks. (lets make it a summit)

Johannes IMO made a critical mistake to drag such arguments ad squabling inside diplomatic talks with our ambassador ,IMO it's not i sign of wisdom of the person to show such weaknesses at diplomatic talks.

Btw Emp can you give me a notice for the next diplo chat (time place etc) ,i would like to be present for a few times. :)
