Term 2- Zarnia: Still Krazy...

[truckingpete]

nice suckup

Your appointed. Be a good mayor... or else.

Umm...okay....

(Doesn't want to know the what else part... )

 

[Sir Donald III]

Perhaps Article D Section 1 should change the phrase "worker allocation" to "specialist allocation". (i.e. Domestic tells Governors when to have "Clowns," Taxmen, or "Nerds", but gives the Governor free reign over how the remaining laborers are situated to best help their cities.)

Back to official business: In about an hour, Governor, I will be posting an "approve/reject" question to you per proposal that gets or exceeds 10 votes in this poll. Your sign off is necessary for each proposal to go on the "final ballot".

More when I have given the save a more thorough inspection...

 

[Sir Donald III]

Lord Governor, If I may be so bold to do Da' Cheat's Job...

Why are we building a Spearman in our new town of Manchai when this town is on the border of a rival that "admires" us and therefore would be useful in Culture War?

I can understand having a Spearman in Bentropolis. After all, it has only a Warrior and geenrates 1 SPT. My concern is that it's sandwiched between 2 Zulu cities. If we don't flip Swazi soon, Bentropolis could be at risk. I'd just like to point that out to you. Address what you think is the greater threat at Benny.

Manchai is a totally different story. It has 2 SPT, so a Temple would only be 13 turns away. Plus, a Spearman is already there. If Babs don't get the Gardens, we could look at the possibility of flipping Akkad. Farfetched I know, but at least we could hold the current border this way.

Please change Manchai's Spearman to a Temple.

 

[Cyc]

You are right. i was thinking of the wrong thing. I was thinking worker instead of laborer. I admit at making the mistake.

I still don't CT is try to put ant cities down the gutter.

edit: I see you explained it further but that wasn't needed. I already looked it up. It wasn't like I was neglecting it either, since I had done it before.

No, I know you haven't been neglecting it, as you've worked with me before with "Laborers". The only reason I brought it up is that we are depriving Fanatikku shields and giving those shields to Immo, when Immo doesn't need them. Immo has another forest and two mines to use.

 

[Sir Donald III]

Lord Governor,

While this Article has not yet been ratified; given that no law currently exists for the purposes of creating new Provinces, I would like to get the "ball" rolling ahead of time rather than wait 24 Hours for the Law to offically pass.

Therefore, I am presenting to you the proposals that have passed the 10-vote muster in this poll for your individual review:


Cyc's Proposal (Domestic Codename: "Centra Provincia")


Yep. Only 1 passed Muster.

Should you accept this proposal, it will then return to the "House" for a Final Approval Poll.

If you want an updated map, of cities and how they fit within these borders, I can provide it.

Please respond quickly.

Also, if you think that since such a law has not yet passed your equivlaent approval is not needed, then say so, please, so I can return it to the "House" for "Final Approval".

 

[Zarn]

Minister Sir Donald III:
A) The Centra Provincia Plan has the approval of Zarnia.
B) If you look at my orders it says temples or spears for new cities in the last turn chat. I am going to look at the save to see what is best (at least in my opinion).

Justice Cyc:
A) I'm going to load up a save, after this response, and I'll look into it.
B) I just thought having an 'A)' looked stupid by itself.

 

[Zarn]

Mayors: Please note Cyc's dedication. From now on, I want active mayors. You can pm me, write in this thread, or whatever, just get at least once message across to me ar least every two turnchats. I don't care if it is, everything looks great Zarn, or I think your queue is horrible and is ruining my city. Please. Please. Please, tell me something. If someone asks to be the mayor of a city where the current mayor has not said anything to me in a while, that new person has the job and the former loses it. You all have a clean slate at this point. Zarnia is HUGE, so please help out, when you can.

I will look for more in the 'Relocation part, later.'

[truckingpete]

Governor Zarn,

Continue the temple at Pete, but then after that please build a Harbor, not walls...

Thanks!

Mayor Truckingpete

Request granted.

Thank you! I suppose I better get a city thread going soon

[RegentMan]

Zarn, I completely agree with the courthouse then library build queue. Perhaps after that, a marketplace?

Why do you think I want currency so bad?

 

[RegentMan]

You like techs that have two of the same letters in a row?

 

[Sir Donald III]

This is a copy of a message to Mayor Cyc of Zojoji.

May it Please... The Mayor!

The build queue for Zojoji is currently Collesium. This would provide 2 new Content faces in 14 turns.

By maintaining our current research, we will get Feudalism in 12. This would make this city a prime location as a home for a Military Researcher named Sun Tzu, given there would already be 12 turns of production there.

But, if this is not your intent, I would like to make this recommendation:

Have the building changed to a Marketplace.

This building will finish in 12 and will produce 1 Extra Happy since we have 3 Luxuries, which should net the same result as the Collesium.

In addition, it would increase your city's contributions to our Treasury by 50%, allowing for more buildings, as well as funding military upgrades.

 

[Chieftess]

Governor(s), just something to note. We're building courthouses in cities that only have 2 corruption, and plenty of shields. We don't need courthouses in these cities. It's cities that have 50% corruption or more that we DO need courthouses in. Please switch the less corrupt courthouses to markets.

 

[Cyc]

Governor Zarn, looking back at the last turn chat, I notice you ignored or forgot about Zojoji's request to put our next Laborer on the roaded Forest tile between Zojoji and Shorin Ryu. That move would have increased our shield output as well as our Commerce. Please keep in mind that Shorin Ryu is no longer in OUR Province, and I request that Zojoji be allowed to use that tile, as it was originally within our city limits. I don't feel we should be giving it's use to the Eastern Province (Edo).

Also, I would like to draw your attention to this post in the Zojoji City thread. It is in response to a post by Sir Donald III. The picture in that post has a request for a Laborer relocation also. As stated in that post, I can't understand why the SW Greassland was mined, as it wasn't needed. We have plenty of hills for mining, and irrigation had been discussed prior to the turn chat. Please request irrigation in the near future. I've mentioned this in the above post also.

I agree with your choice of building a Colosseum in our humble city. With the addition of the Aqueduct, fresh water will surely increase the size of Zojoji, and a Colosseum will keep our more rowdy citizens happy and content. This will be especially true when we build a Wonder and/or go to War and get one of our Luxuries cut from the system.

 

[invy]

I would request that tile stay for Shorin-Ryu at least for some time. Zojoji currently have 2 unused forest and can use other forest (while losing only +1 commerce). From the other side, Shorin-Ryu will lose a shield. I think shield > commerce.
There is more reasons. Zojoji has 6 workers mining iron, those 6 workers can mine all hills in just a few turns (hill 1-3-1, forest 1-2-1). While Shorin-Ryu hills are not mined yet (in process) and there are only 3 workers compared to Zojoji's 6.
Therefore i beleive its in Japanatica's interest that Shorin-Ryu use that tile.
But,in long term, I think we should start initiative to legaly decide who has the right to work that tile; or to make some kind of agreement between governors.

 

[Cyc]

Governor Zarn, this is what I'm talking about. Let's be honest here. The only reason Shorin Ryu was placed where it was, is so that it could steal my forest tile. Governor invy has more Workers than he says, and he just posted in the President's thread requesting those Workers do all this other work, such as clear a Shorin Ryu forest and irrigate it so Corrino can use it. Even Governor invy knows we need the Forest tile between Zojoji and Shorin Ryu cut down and irrigated to get water to Zojoji. So he claims he needs that tile as a forest, so he can clear another forest tile and irrigate for another city to use? This is unfair and we need to rectify this situation. Unless you do something about it, Edo is going to get preferential treament from the President. Zojoji's growth will suffer as a result. Please help.

Hm... To be honest mayor Cyc, I think you are trying to protect Zojoji TOO MUCH. Noone have intention to 'steal' from Zojoji or to slow down Zojoji.
I will clarify little more:
Edo have 7 workers and 4 cities with mostly unimproved teritory (that means 7 workers to improve 4 cities), while Zojoji itself has 6 workers. The forest I want to clear is not Zojoji's and it is in Corrino's best interest to remove that forest.
Zojoji can use other forests (source of minerals) while Shorin-Ryu can't yet.
It doesn't mean Shorin-Ryu will forever use that tile, it only means Shorin-Ryu needs that tile more than Zojoji.

 

[Cyc]

Well as you may have noticed, invy the road from Zojoji to Shorin Ryu was roaded before it could be used, for no reason. As soon as Shorin Ryu increased to Temple size, that was the first and only tile it used. I knew that was the plan as soon as I saw the proposed site for the city. Sure enough, people couldn't get it done fast enough.

You were just talking to me about getting Zojoji some irrigation, and when I said 'Yes, it should come through the hills between Zojoji and Shorin Ryu' you not only stopped talking, but are requesting the same work to be done elsewhere. What's the matter? Your idea of getting Zojoji irrigation for growth doesn't matter now that your a Governor? Who's protecting what now, invy?
