Ravensfire:
That I can do (we only have the modern age wonders left, and if we're going for conquest, only two of them are essential). I will type up a starter and I will post it.

Discussion on Wonders

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention purlease!

Here's the discussion. I don't feel like making up any Sweeny Toddesque lyrics now.

SaaM
MIA Head

Since Rejkavick doesn't have a governor as of yet (a recently conquered city that's in the middle of Egyptian lands), Let the temple finish, and next turn, have it build a wall. On turn 2, rush the wall (or rush it on turn 1. I am willing to forego 2 galleon upgrades next turn for the wall rush).

Minister SaaM

With regard to the provincial borders - I believe that they have to be approved by Congress (ie: the citizens). So an official discussion/poll would appear to be in order. Then I've just got to find some governors....

 

[tao]

Minister,

as you are responsible, what is the action on building The Pentagon? Did you ask any governor to put it in the queue? If yes, where? If not, why not?

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

@tao: yell at the new guy.
Everyone! Cheeta is the new MIA deputy. He will be filling in for me until Tuesday.
Cheeta: things to do.
1) Do a discussion on province borders (maps are in here)
2) Decide where the Pentagon will go. (it doesnt do anything in the city its built in, so it could go somewhere that isnt essential)

SaaM

 

[Cheetah]

I know I said yes to the job yesterday, but my school ends on saturday and
today I was told I had to remove my computer from the computer lab.

This means I have severly limited access to internet until late sunday.

I will try to do what I can in the job, but if anyone else is better suited
maybe he should take over?

 

[Cheetah]

Gah. I didn't get to the Internet before I left the school, and had some problems with it at home as well.

I'm afraid I couldn't do much as your deputy SAaM. I'm really sorry.

::Sees what hassent happened.::
Oy. Hmm... I just got off the bus and I still need to unpack. I'll try to set up everything tomorrow.

TO DO:
Pentagon Discussion

You may discuss it, but it was already built without waiting for the MIA.

 

[Furiey]

Welcome back SaaM.

Please note: In absence of instructions, the Pentagon was built in Groton. We are now able to build Battlefield Medicine though which I think also had support in the previous discussion.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Perfectly fine by me. As I stated in my TC instructions, I have yet to look @ the save. Go ahead and put Battlefield Medicine there too. We'll need it.
Would anyone mind if the queue for Groton had Battlefield Medicine added to it? (Yes, this is an official question)

SaaM

 

[Chieftess]

I'd really love for Groton to be our tank factory... It would be nice if it could build 20 more tanks before continuing armies. (Atleast when tanks aren't in armies, you can use the excess tanks for other things).

 

[Furiey]

Groton may not be the best place to build it, Deux Rivieres for example only takes 2 turns longer but will lose less tank production time in the process:

Groton: BM in 5 turns = 5 Tanks lost (builds Tank in 1) or 1 Tank + 1 Army
Deux Rivieres: BM in 7 turns = 3.5 tanks lost (builds Tank in 2)

Please add building BM to your instructions if you wish it to be built. I am glad my actions in building the Pentagon were not against your wishes.

PS: According to Mapstat we now have 47.6% of the tiles

 

[Bootstoots]

Please consider building the Intelligence Agency somewhere. It could help during our wars with Zulu and Persia, particularly in that we will know their exact military strengths by unit for each turn of the war if spy-planting is successful. The Intelligence Agency can be built within six turns in any of a number of cities, and Groton and DR can build it in four turns.

MIA: Evil, Genetically Altered, Chain Smoking Lab Rats
A Decree!

MIA Head SaaM approaches the stage. He is decked in a long black leather coat (with a matching shirt, tie and pants combo) with his hair spiked and wearing a really nice pair of sunglasses. He jumps in the air, freezes, does a 360, lands on the podium (shattering it into hundreds of pieces, as seen in bullet time) and plays the Doom Song while reading N?. It is the feared Johen Vasquez/Matrix SaaM... BUM BUM BUMMMM
Hear Yee, Hear Yee! MIA Doomy Court of Doomful Doom is now in sessions, my little mongeese. The MIA has a new decree for you all. Armagedon is approaching. Are you ready for the end? Packed up on your reed making suplies? Purchasedthe libretos to every musical you like? Prepared yourselves to become doomful masters of the doomridden planet? Good. Now, this doesnt apply to any existing citizens, but every other member of this putrid planet, listen up! We take no more prisoners! All cities are to be raized, unless they have a wonder. No city is to be spared! Muahahahahahahaha! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a special edition DVD to purchase. Computer! Take me to the weasles!

This has been an announcement from MIA Head SaaM. Now if you'll excuse him, here is a room with a moose

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

I believe the words "don't ask" apply

 

[Chieftess]

May I suggest that the Intelligence Agency be built in Vandelay or Saction? It will take 7 turns, but we won't need it until then anyway. (We don't want a premature war).

I provisionally queued it in Vandelay, but I'm willing to unqueue if so ordered. I ordered some mm and it would be finished in 6 turns.
