Official Civ4 S&T Off-Topic Thread

What do you think the most likely result of the situation is? A few of the junior associates are running a pool on the results and all my fellow partners are placing bets on which associate will win without knowing what result their associate has placed their bet on.

It's becoming a hot topic like Football (Soccer) and Globo's Soap Operas, which is the only good side about this IMO. Manifestations have been happening almost daily but certainly at least weekly.

Huh. As hot a topic as football? That should be interesting.

Also, it's great that people are becoming more politically involved, Brazil has been a country that I've always kept at the back of my mind as it is a massive country in South America both geographically and economically (#1 in SA and #7 globally by GDP). Civil unrest there would mean that a lot of my clients would start getting worried about their holdings in South America. Plus, it ranks in the top 25 troop-contributing countries (TCC) for UN peacekeeping missions, which would mean that a dictatorship or sudden shift in policy would possibly/probably result in 1000-2000 fewer peacekeepers world-wide, something that I do not really want due to my love of global stability.

You mean if she will be Impeached or not? At first I thought it was impossible, but last month PMDB (that terrible party I mentioned on my last post) declared it would stop supporting the government, and that was what really changed everything. Now the only thing that can stop this is the ex-President Lula. He is trying to become a minister in Dilma's government, but he is also being investigated by the Federal Police. Because of that the Federal Court has denied his position as Minister for a while. If he becomes minister, I believe the Impeachment won't happen because he is a great politician (although I dislike him a lot I can't deny his charisma and knowledge of the brazilian political situation) and this will make many politicians ok with the government again.

But if he doesn't become a minister, the Impeachment is inevitable IMO. More then half the Senate has already stated it's in favor of the Impeahment.

Distatorship nowadays in Brazil is impossible because the only way a dictatorship could rise is through the right-wing politicians as the government is left-wing now. And a right-wing dictatorship wouldn't get support from the US (as it did back in the 60s), nor would it shift its alliance to China, because that wouldn't make any sense to the right-wing political spectrum here. I hope my english was clear here, but China is communist, and no right-wing government here could rely on China and still keep its structure without some serious attacks on its policies.

A government without the support of neither the US nor China wouldn't stand a chance here. Especially from the US because we've been allies since Brazil got its independence from Portugal in 1822, and more so because of cultural and economical ties we have with them.

Guess who FINALLY got Civ and RFC working on his new laptop? (It's me)

 

[Niccolo Edwards]

I'm gonna guess the answer to your question is B - Anybody but TheNoob.
Congratulations on finding your game. Sad to see the commune go though.

 

[TheNoob]

I am too, honestly. I enjoyed the game, but Christmas happens, and so does having your computer being outdated

I miss doing my Wazir-i-Azam duties in the Democratic Caliphate

I've just seen the Caliphate's map I uploaded to google drive and it brought a lot of memories

I think I'll upload the map as I have it now so everyone who was following that story can see how much I've done to it but never got to upload it (it's almost the complete world already).


I miss S&T's Renaissance

[ChineseWarlord]

I do too. Hopefully, I'll be able to revive it somewhat.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

S and T's Second Renaissance*

 

[GreekAnalyzer]

Well, I'm back.

 

[TheNoob]

Glad to see all of you guys back!

 

[Niccolo Edwards]

Welcome back Greek.
Are you going to start posting on Struggles of the Noyyau again?

 

[mrrandomplayer]

I might be back.

 

[TheNoob]

Come back and join my America story. It's what the other hip kids are doing

People can never stay away from S&T for too long right?

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Due to writing too much too fast and burning myself out I was forced to leave. Then, due to personal problems and a lack of will to anything I wasn't able to come back. I'm going to ease myself back in. I'll casually write one story and interact with only a few stories. I won't kill myself like I did before.

I might, it's been a while so I'll have to read up on it.
