Term 1 - Domestic

[Gingerbread Man]

Here lies the Term 1 domestic thread. Would somebody leave some screenshots of the game here, as well as some info (or a screenshot) for our capital.

I need a deputy!

More info when I get those screenies!

Some notes...

At the moment, we do not have a system of deputies. Sorry.

Also, becuase you are the domestic minister, you are next in the Chain of Command. Would you be available to play if I am absent for some reason? If you are, give me an e-amil address, I can have a copy of the game sent to you.

Thanks.

He is not able to. He doesn't have PTW yet.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Yes, I know, I know. DONT REMIND ME!!!!

Maybe around the 18th March I could get PTW. I'd be happy to play the turns, especially since they would be in our green hours. I would have 11 hours to play the turn!

I would have said that I was standing down from the candidate podium like in the trade election, but I was the only one to go for this job.

There is no provisions for a deputy in the constitution, but who says I can't have an unofficial assistant who gets me the screenshots of the map, and possibly screenies of the cities too? In fact, they could 'suggest' all the decisions, and I would just agree with them, and give them as orders officially.

Back when I was nominating myself , I thought I'd have PTW sooner than what I now expect.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

O.k theres not really much happening here.

What are the early ideas on where we might place our first city?

Are there any domestic issues?

I need something to talk about!

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

relax ,whe are only at the start of the game now so there aint not that much work to do.
But ,here are soem things:
-Discussion on the build queue(s) of our first city(s) ,this with decission's before they actually are needed ,we should try to forsee what decission's we need to make in the following turn's and try to make them ahead ,where possible.
-Discussion on the use of the worker(s) ,wich tiles to improve etc

that should do it for now

Basicly ,on the build queue's ,i think we should go for building a setler ASAP (given our city frowth) ,placing youre second city quick will be vital to keep up with the other team's.The rest of production should be spend on unit's tyo defend/explore the map.exploration is very important ,contact with other civ's is what we need early on.

Another thing: Fur's can be found to the south of our first city ,it may be interresting to connect them by roads.

btw. a screenshot can be found in the turn thread's.

Hail Domestic Secretary.

Since Zarn left the game, he left a void in the governor seat of our capital, you need to appoint someone (me!) since I'm the one interested in the position, I mean.

EA

Speaking of which, we should probably switch Sacred Forest to a Settler as it looks like we'll be a size 3 in twelve (12) turns. This will either fall under Domestic or the Governor. As the Governor's confirmation is still a ways off, I believe we need GBM to make the call. BTW, GBM, you don't need PTW to look at the screenshots. Just a Zip program. You will see the same thing everyone else sees. Until we start posting saves, that is.

Yes, I know I can see the screenies. If someone can be a screenie collector for me, I might just be able to keep this job

 

[Gingerbread Man]

I have appointed EA as the new governor of the Fanatikan Capital Territory (or at least thats what I call it)

Since there is no Sacred forest governor thread, I will ask, using my new Advisor powers, that we switch to settler as soon as it will take longer to build than it takes Sacred Forest to grow to size three.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

I believe that over in the USA, AOL instant messenger is what is used, am I right?

Well if there is anybody who uses MSN messenger, please PM me. It would be good if I could get in contact with everyone better.

In my PM I will give you my REAL email address, not the one in my personal details.

Oh, and after a bit of rethinking, i think I can remain as Domestic Advisor without PTW. Just as long as I get a screenie collecter. I'll set up a permanent server they can post their images on, if anybody is worried about security.

 

[Goonie]

I have MSN. My email address in my profile is my real one . *shh*

 

[Gingerbread Man]

sorry, it doesn't tell the public what anybody's email is. It is a security 'feature'.

so here is my email. Please replace DOT with . and AT with @.

Its just that I heard there are some spammer programs that search forums for emails.

got it?

GBM

For organizing the screen shots, if you need a ftp server - I've got one that I can fairly easily setup for us. I'd create two accounts, one that allows read-only access, and a second that allows full access to that directory.

It's not used very much (at least, not as an FTP server, MP3s - whole different story!).

Just let me know and I'll set it up.

[Gingerbread Man]

Yeah, that'll be great!

In a while I may be able to set a file server on my home network. But I'll have to be careful about security.

Until then, your server could be great.

 

[ravensfire]

FTP server set up, information has been PM'd to you.

-- Ravensfire

 

[Gingerbread Man]

GREAT!

Thanxsalotz

Now I just need someone to be a personal screenie collector. I know that screenies are supplied, but they are often old and of bad quality (no offence). I may also need specific shots later on in the game.

 

[ravensfire]

GBM - if you will e-mail me the requests (I think my e-mail was in the pm I sent you), I'll take care of that.

I'm assuming that you'll have a set of standard requests and special requests. Send me the standard requests (the ones you want for each turn, or every other turn), and then the special requests as needed.

[Gingerbread Man]

Just a request to all who post images - please turn the grid on, and please post the images as attachments, instead of uploading them.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Just a warning to everyone - These City site run-off polls are not official, unless I started them or made them official.

As domestic leader, I believe that it is my job to start/make official any polls reguarding city placement. Those polls that I didn't start are not, in my mind, official as I did not approve them.

If you wish to start an official domestic-issue poll, tell me here.
