The Idiots' Partee

[Tubby Rower]

Boaring Wallow is an excellent name. The next turn chat is on 1/18 and I'm sure that a poll is coming out of that thread so we need to get that in there as soon as we can

EDIT :: I added Boaring Wallow to my post in the city placement and naming thread

Do you want seconders in that thread or wait for poll Oh Captain

Edit ... guess I am sheep boy that scares me ... keep Dags away from me !!!

 

[Tubby Rower]

I'd think that by me mentioning that you suggested the name that that would be the automatic seconding. It would be nice if we came up with the majority of names and then just consolidate behind one. It would make our chances of winning higher.

btw, voting as a block is essential to Idiotic dominance. skewing from partee line is permissible, but frowned upon if not discussed here. I'm not trying to make this a dictatorship, but if we all vote for different things, we'll be no better than any other party

I just hope one of the mods gives me permission to join the Civ4 Demo Game group soon. Been waiting for almost 24hrs for permission and still dont have access

Been trying to think of a name as good as Boaring Wallow. The only thing I can think of is Pig's Ring but that may be a little too rude

 

[fe3333au]

They won't tell you ... I just revisited the polls and suddenly I could vote ... so try that Beaker

 

[IamSid]

I have voted for Boaring Willow..

Sorry it was my first vote and I was not aware of the Idiot official policy!

 

[Tubby Rower]

It's not an official poll yet. Also there appears to be a couple people that liek to start threads so there are two threads going about the city placement and early strategy

Game Session 1 coordination

Capitol City Placement and Name


IamSid, policy does not become idiots. so do as you wish. I was just making the point that if everyone votes the same, we could be a force to be reckoned with. I don't think that there is a group as big as we are.

You guys will love this!!! I did a little search on the Egyptians. These guys were tailored made for idiots!!
LOL!!

Spoiler :

Bread and beer were the chief components of the Egyptians’ daily diet, eventually even being depicted as the first offering in the funerary offering formula, or hetep di nisu. Though there are several words in the ancient Egyptian language for grain, one term in particular graphically describes the significance of grain in the life of the people. This word was ankhet, describing corn as "that which gives life."

Most farmers derived their income from a mixture of crop-growing and animal husbandry. The richest were the cattle-owners. Herds were the subject of a biannual census, portrayed in the tomb paintings of Nebamun in Thebes and in models from the tomb of Meketra. Cattle-breeding was the height of animal husbandry in Egypt and beef the most prestigious meat. Sheep and goats were more accessible meat-sources for less affluent households, goats being more adaptable to the available scrub grazing, and were easier to milk than cows.
Workers employed in non-agricultural jobs found pig-breeding a lucrative industry. Pigs formed part of the meat diet, as attested by the discoveries of pig bones within human settlements.
Cattle and goats were also kept for their hides, and sheep for their wool. Cow-skin was used to make the seats of chairs. Oxen were important as draught animals.

I had never noticed that. It's quite brilliant. All this time I was wondering what your obsession with Sheep was

that's private and personal Mr. Tubby

But here is the raw image before ybbor avatared it for me

I'm a 100% behind Boaring Wallow for captiol and Fattieland for nation. Bring me the poll and I will rock the vote. Garee with Tubby that it would be fun if we actually could influence by ganging up in the votes.
As motto I suggest: Walk Like an Egyptian

Edit: Any Party that asks members to function as thought police should be treated with a helthy dose of suspicion. This bunch seems like the complete opposite to our...

To much reading for an idiot like me.. To many big words. Therefore I do not like them!

Having been endorsed into idiocy by not one, not two, but three former girlfriends, I think this is the place for me. That, and I'm 21, and drink too much (but never enough).

Umm yeah. They sound remarkably like another real political party of say, 65-70 years ago. The "thought police" statement is one which this idiot personally doesn't agree with as it does go against our swilling, pig-eating, sheep-stealing (and disguising them as wolves ), idiotic drunkenness.

at the suggestion of Fattieland. I am behind both Boaring Wallow and Fattieland. Give me a poll so I can *try* and vote.

Alright what should we vote for capital city placement?

 

[Sadan01]

Well it seems I'm still not allowed. Geez, what I have done to piss off a mod...

From one idiot to many others, let me retrace my steps. I entered my details in the Citizen registry thread and waited for a while. I then found that all of you had membership to the Civ4 Demo Game group itself so asked for membership through the group pages - linking back to my citizen request. There must be something I missed here. Maybe I should read the Demo Game FAQ (for Idiots).
