The Idiots' Partee

[fe3333au]

I'm with you Whomp

I would also propose that us as a partee of united idiots should do our very best to stamp out the rude and egotistical in the game ... we should see ourselves as the guardians of fun

When exactly is this election that you speak of Whomp and how many positions are there ... and most importantly you want to govern our capital oh Tubby ???

 

[Tubby Rower]

Governors aren't appointed/elected (I don't know which) until there is 3 cities I think. When there are nominations, I'd like to see some of us nominated.

There are elections every month for the next Term's positions. You can look in the main DG forum to see the current positions

 

[DaveShack]

I found this vote and there's another thread further down in this forum about customising autolog, but I can't find any decision

The decision was that we can allow the use of autolog, but we can't require it just yet. If the Idiots feel strongly that it should be required, there's always the option of starting an initiative to that effect. It would be better to use a CoL amendment.

 

[DaveShack]

I guess I should officially check in... Grumpy Old Wildcat Idiot checking in.

On Blkbird's session: I don't like it either but in a first term with lots of new players it's hard to predict what we'll get. I give him the benefit of the doubt that the reason it's non-interactive is the pain of task switching. So early in the game it will be immediately obvious if instructions aren't followed. We can tell from the ending save of the session where the hammers and food went.

On people not posting information: Anyone up to asking for a JR on that? Also just make sure you pay attention to who does their office well and who doesn't. Nominations will be posted in about 1.5 days. Bad manners will definitely come into consideration.

On the deplorable condition of the game, if he who should never again be named hadn't shown the appearance of a rising star I wouldn't have supported him, and I would have probably run for President. The tri system leaves us with an acting President who doesn't seem to be 100% into that role. It's kinda indirectly my fault
and I can't really do much about it from the CJ position except guide my fellow justices towards the direction that expedites the game.

Did I mention nominations are soon? I'll volunteer to be President Idiot, and would support Tubby for a governor. Anyone want to go for Minister of the Interior so the governor appointments can be influenced? And everyone who has time to be DP needs to be nominated into the pool, and use preferential voting if anyone shows up nominated that we don't trust.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Welcome DS... Now we only need donsig or Provo in here and we'll have all 4 civ3 demo teams represented

 

[Nomad Bryce]

I would like to join the idiocy movement =] On the condition that I remain sober due to my religion =] I officially give my free beer to F333 something =] I would love to help keep information accessible! Next election I would like to run for Minister of the Interior! Cottages on the floodplains is first priority I say =] We can build small towns of idiocy on our little river! And make a lot of gold besides, to fund the progressing of our sciences (So we can use them idiotically)

 

[Tubby Rower]

Welcome NB. Without knowing too much of what you subscribe to, I'm going to pass for now on my support on you being Minister of the Interior. I'll research a little on you and see if it changes my mind before I vote.

We are allowed to have multiple idiots nominated after all.

@Dave and Nomad
WELCOME into the warmth and confusion of the Idiots . Hopefully our look upon the civving experience and how to have a good time will suite you well.
This is a very non-besserwisser bunch and if we keep growing like this I hope we can vote away the arrogant and unfun (tm Sid) elements of the game. Looking fwd to the nominations. I'll lay low 4 a while but will support any fellow party member that wishes to take office.

 

[Whomp]

From one Wildcat to another Wildcat I say Bear down Lute Ol...I mean DaveShack!! I'm sure you will have our full support for presidency.

Nomad welcome! Use this forum to discuss your plans. Idiocy breeds talented civ players so please expound on your plans.
Also, I highly recommend a new avatar. There are some very talented artists at CFC including our very own Mistfit. Here's where you can request one that fits your fancy.

Nominations already? I'd better sort out what I need to do for the demogame.

As far as this one goes, I can see floodplains in the fog so have to be very careful if I load the save not to scroll around, that is IF I can load the save as it's very temperamental and don't mention slow..... Not surprisingly I still play more Civ3. I'll have to play a bit more and see if I can get running with mIRC. Strangely though I can have Outlook running and be doing a full virus scan without any problem and Alt-tabbing isn't quick but isn't all that slow either.

I had a look in the laws to see what the DPs were required to log and can't find any requirement at all! (relevant post). After all the efforts in previous demogames to get people to post information for people who can't open the save we seem to have gone backwards here.

edit: Thanks DS (and welcome) on the autolog answer, with the trouble I've gone through trying to get running, coupled with lack of time I haven't taken much notice of this forum until recently.

 

[IamSid]

I would like to be a governer if you could help me with that.. I believe it would be in all our best interests.

 

[Daghdha]

In order not to loose focus I think it's time fooooooooor... A Beer Joke

A drunk is driving through the city and his car is weaving all over the road. Eventually a cop pulls him over.
"Did you know," says the cop, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

@Sid
Sure, but would you consider it rude to ask for some hint about your level of playing?

 

[akots]

Wow, the ranks of idiots have really become quite idiotic quickly approaching complete idiocity. Sorry, you must have been tired of all these redundant repetitions but I can't help myself being overwhelmed and bursting with idiocity.

I'm sure there would be a few people who can either run Civ4 in a window and use mirc or who can Alt-Tab and be just fine. That would be a truly interactive and greatly exciting experience and might greatly improve attendance during the turnchats especially coupled with simultaneous posting of screenshots in the official thread to follow the progress of the game! Well, it is 21st century after all, why not then.

IMHO, this might be the mandatory requirement for the position on DP. Whereas President can be more political figure or so it seems according to the current law with certain decision making powers. Another IMHO, but it is not that important whether President actually has Civ4 running.

... As far as this one goes, I can see floodplains in the fog ...

I can also see forest/jungle sometime at the edge after patching to 1.52 but not in the protected saves.

No, it is not rude. I am playing at Prince at the moment.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Just some random thoughts from the founder:

Dave for president. He's got the oofmp and post count and demo experience to run it

Tubs for DP. He can count to ten and do charts and thingys. and he can multitask (believe it or not, he can walk and talk at the same time saw it live

I'd argue against voting out those WHOSE NAMES CAN'T BE MENTIONED What would we do for fun?

there was another point I wanted to make, but Ive forgotten. Something about whomp and a movie...

Yes AK i met Booger on the set of Revenge of the Nerds. He's cool and ate at Sausage Deli. The pie's were good and ultimately this is were my idiocy started.
Big surprise.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Sausage deli can't beat the Soda Jerk in Ak's town

I think Furiey was talking about seeing floodplain on the other end of the earth, in totally unexplored territory. The T&L doesn't always work perfectly on some computers, and the fog effect is probablly just turning down the lighting -- probably meaning the lighting is wrong on FP tiles so it doesn't get turned down on those systems.

Wait, this isn't the tech support forum.

Been thinking too much lately, pass me some so I can put them brain cells back in their places.

 

[Nomad Bryce]

Well, it is in my style and oppinion to build cottages on flood plains since they already produce so much food the ridiculous commerce from towns that cottages turn into make it worth it in the long run. Grasslands I build cottages on, (All of this is subject to change in specific conditions) Plains I build farms on (For growth purposes) hills get mined and forests are allowed to remain if they are the grassland kind which provide 2 food and 1 hammer. Forests on plains I also usually leave for when a more concentrated hammer requirement is needed in a city build. Connecting cities with roads is always a priority. I would be willing to support ANYONES nomination for the minister of interior who favors a strong usage of cottages. If anyone would replace my self-nomination with those ideas, I will surrender my candidacy in favor of that citizen.

 

[fe3333au]

Welcome to the party Nomad Bryce ... I get twice the beer allowance of everyone else

I support wholeheartedly DaveShack as the Prez

... and Tubby as first governor cos we need the capital to lead by example and influence the direction of our Egyptusian culture

Perhaps someone <cough> <Tubby> <cough> can start an idiot election ticket

Did I mention that I get extra beer
