Realpolitik CIV - An Interactive AAR

[Aysee]

So F&S (Is that a satisfactory abbreviation?) is in with the Imperials?

 

[Whosit]

I have no idea, but I am worried about this "army of lurkers" the TCP is said to have. Hardly seems fair to me. The Imperial Party ought to have an army of lurkers. We're lurker worthy!

Anyway, I do think that the Imperial Party and the Faith and Strength Party have much we can agree on.

 

[Ravus_Sol]

Completely off topic and semi-relevant: Ravus, what time zone are you in?

Back on topic: It looks like once, again, we have our president jumping parties after their term. Arya, are you running for re-election?

EDIT: x-post with Ravus.

Really?

From what I've gathered:

ACTIVE MEMBERS:

Green Party: 1 (semi, WIM checks in occasionally)
TCP: 1
IMP: 2
MP: 1
Stonehenge Monks: 1
Christ's Arsenal/Crusaders/Gods and Generals: 2 (pending arya's joining)
LMP: 2 (semi, mechaerik is semi-active; depending on how you look at it)

So yeah, depending on how you look at it, there doesnt seem to be a "largest party"

You forgot Gruekiller who re-emerged a few pages back. Tho i suppose he's not fully active he's at least someone to be aware of when calculating this stuff.

Well i'm in australia currently. Lets see um england is Greenwich time and they are 4am so i'm probably around GMT+9 or something.

So Faith and Strength huh? nice choice from JMUG and yourself. I'll still call you the zealots as FaS looks strange and is strange to type.

As i said, the election should be interesting. All thats left now is to wait out the last turnset from LH once Arya sends his war plan then discuss options. hopefully i won't miss everything.

Right. We both want to instill the fear of God and Rome in the hearts of Rome (and Russia).

 

[Whosit]

Right. We both want to instill the fear of God and England in the hearts of Rome (and Russia).

Is this what you meant?

In more relevant news, I think that arya has sent off the finalized war plan to LH, so hopefully we'll get another update in a day or two.

 

[arya126]

Im sending it tomorow morning. Too tired to do it right now as i have to revise it in accordance with your suggestions.

But, and im sure JMUG would agree, the imperial party is similar to us in at least one way. War. We both support it, albeit for different reasons. But so? We have the same goal. The prosprerity of england, preferbaly expanding it as well. We want our religion to spread. You want our power to grow. they complement each other. Even if we find that we disagree on an issue or 2, we got past that in the CoF didnt we?

Very sorry. I just spent the entire day reading Princes of the Universe.

 

[W|M]

I've been Lurking lately due to mostly agreeing with MN, and having nothing to say.

 

[Ravus_Sol]

Indeed. The peace and agreement of the parties in the Green Philosphers has allways been well noted. At least you two know you can trust each other...

anyway while re-reading some of this stuff i thought i'd make a list of the last few pictures so people know what our workers are doing and what cities are religious.

-

A strategic outline of our military and civillian resources:

Britain:
1 Archer(London)
1 Archer(Liverpool)
2 Archers(Channel Coast)
1 Swordsman(Galley)
1 Axeman(Galley)
1 Galley(English Channel)

France:
1 Archer(Ravus-York)
1 Warrior(Channel Coast)

Iberia:
3 Archers(Spread out)

Norway:
1 Galley
1 Axeman

As a side note the cities that are Christian so far are;
London
Liverpool
Ravus-York
Birmingham

Current builds are;
Liverpool = Spearman
London = Christian Temple
Ravus-York = Settler
Nottingham = Granery
Norwich-Cull = Granery
Birmingham = Granery
Kent = Granery

Workers and land development;
Britian = 2 workers, nearly all land is developed. Workers only have to finish their tiles and they are done. Where to send them next?
France = 2 workers, Modest devlopment around Ravus-york and nothing in Nottingham. Road is being placed to Iberia
Iberia = 2 workers, no development yet. Currently the horses and copper are being worked on. The Fish near Norwich-Cull also do not have a workboat.

Current Resources;
1x Crab
1x Deer
2x Fish
1x Stone
1x Iron
1x Sheep
2x Cow
1x Wheat

EDIT:
Also what do people think is better, Arya-Kent or Arya-Nottingham? Seeing as we seem to be continuing this quirky tradition.

 

[Nukeknockout]

as a general rule,we need to pick the weakest least powerful city that seems likely to fall to invaders and will likely never accomplish anything(city in Siberia,anyone?).on that logic,I vote for Arya-Nottingham

 

[JoeMacUnGee]

I think that if the Faith and Strength(that is our party name) turns into a contender, i will consider running for a second term for the sake of carrying out my war plans, but that is unlikely. If we are contenders, i will give the opposrtunity to JMUG first.

Well, i think resident might come back. So Imperial party does seem to be the most influential at least, if not the largest.

I think the LMP might have the power to withdraw from the CoF, but i dont think there is another coalition they can join. The GreenPeace are pacifists which conflict with the LMP. My party is a little too right wing for them in my opinion, although we would still welcome them. Im sure we could compromise on some things, like they get state property, we get focus on religion, and so on.But other than that, they dont have anotehr option besides their own coalition and who would they have to recruit to it? The MP? They should just stay in the CoF then. And as i recall, the only issue was Ilduce, and since he is leaving i dont think they will go solo again for now.

I would think Faith and Strength would be agnostic (no pun intended) on economics, with conversion of ALL to the glorious English True Religion being the paramount goal be that through war, intimidation, evangelization or what not.

 

[Aysee]

Arya-Nottingham. Also, would the Modernization Party care to form a coalition with us?

And on a semi-related note: The Green Party and the TCP has grown so closely together that they might find it in their best interests to merge together?

Indeed, FaS would not align with godless socialis-communists! Wouldn't fit with the goal of global English theocracy.

 

[Aysee]

Actually we're neutral on religion (my viewpoint, anyways), and besides, if we thought it for the greater good of England, we would support your "English theocracy"

 

[mechaerik]

I'm kind of a lurker. I read the thread, I post when I need to.

Also, maybe you guys should be the Righteous Party of England or something to that effect. Sounds zealoty and is catchy.

 

[W|M]

I agree. And @aysee: We are a Coalition so we can vote twice for ourselves.

 

[JoeMacUnGee]

What can you guarantee the Godly?

 

[Nukeknockout]

Arya-Nottingham. Also, would the Modernization Party care to form a coalition with us?

I don't actually have the authority to do that,and I don't want to do anything coalition related until after this turnset.

[arya126]

Idk i think Arya-Kent has a nice ring to it, but i like the idea of arya-nottingham too.

 

[MathNerd]

Hmm... Looks like we'll have three coalitions during this election.

And yes, WIM and I are not planning on splitting up anytime soon. (Right, WIM? )
