I will accept the nomination. Now, that I’ve said that, let’s see if I can come up with a campaign platform that will make nobody vote for me….
I promise essentially to ignore the elected ministers and do whatever I please for the next 8 turns. Well, not exactly, but as General_W will attest, each turn really takes a significant amount of time to play well at this stage of the game. There are only so many times during a given 24-hour period when a block of time is available. If elected, I will play the turn during my first opportunity even if the Ministers haven’t had a chance to provide specific instructions for that turn.
Realistically, I don’t think there will be many surprises – Domestic will order lots of bombers, Military can provide target guidelines in advance, and Foreign… well, I’ll just assume Foreign will not order me to offer peace. If anything noteworthy comes up, then I will certainly wait for team input, and the ministers should give general guidelines in advance, and I will follow those.
Why should you vote for me with that kind of despotic attitude? First, I have a catchy campaign slogan – “Domination on 208-tion”. Second, we want to finish strong, and we will have complicated micromanaging again. Sure, we want almost all bombers which are 100 shields. Easy, right? Well, no, because I’m pretty sure bombers do not get the mobilization bonus, so ideally, we will build say infantry at 60 shields for 1 turn then change to a bomber at 40 shields for the next turn. Additionally, we want to squeeze every penny out of our specialist farms to make sure we can accomplish our goals on 208. I will do what is necessary to maximize our efficiency through these final turns.
My motto if elected President – “Let’s get this game over with!”
