The Idiots' Partee

[Tubby Rower]

if we spend all our grain and sheep just to bet on kebaba, we may go bankrupt

Not if your good


I got a message back from Chieftess and apparently Governors (managing 3-5 cities) are appointed initially then later elected. We need to swamp a poll when those come out. I'm fine with a mayorship and those are appointed by the governors. So I might try to befriend an opponent in a governor's race and then get him to give us a city.

Pentium we will not necessarily be making the bets. We will be booking the bets for the citizens. We will call this....umm....vigerish. Here's how it works....

Joe Triumverate makes a bet that a warrior will lose 0.6 hps (we'll call this the betting line or the odds) against a lion and bets 50 bushels of corn. Stevie Hawk Dove bets 50 bushels he won't. We take both bets and the loser pays us 10% to take their action aka vigerish. One of them we pay 50 bushels and the other pays us 55 bushels. We gain 5 bushels. Capiche?

 

[Tubby Rower]

I've updated my first post in this thread to reflect a members list. This could come in handy when convincing some one to appoint me a mayor.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Oh yeah we need to swamp the polls. And propose a new game of dwarf tossing: whichever player can take a warrior from the city and send him the farthest in a single turn.

 

[Pentium]

Capiche?

Sure. That vigerish thingy sounds cool

 

[Whomp]

Tubby it might be useful to show how far reaching idiocy truly is in your post. We're global baby.

Pentium is in Ljubljana, Slovenija (or Slovenia to 'murikans)
Daghie is in a little town in Sweden
Beorn is Quebec City, Canada
Irongold is Tassie, Australia
Smart...hmm...I don't know....

Ummm ... instead of betting with the sheep ... if they are pretty enough we can raise money through other ... ummm ... entertainments

I propose 1gp and all you can catch

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

we will have nightly fireworks at the casino

If no real money changes hands, can we make book on the outcomes of the official polls? Maybe for votes? i.e., lose a bet, vote for Tubs.

 

[IamSid]

I would like to join the Partee..

 

[Whomp]

Welcome Sid. It seems the mischief maker doesn't want many friends right now. We are a social crew and thrive on mischief so you're all good here.

What ever you'd like we can help make that so. You ain't seen nothing yet....believe me.

To give you some background most of us are very proficient in civ3 and are learning, like everyone, civ4. Idiots all the same.

 

[IamSid]

And what are our goals?

 

[Whomp]

Tubby would like to be a governor. Our goal is to make that happen. Anyone else who would like to pursue further responsibilites will be supported with conviction by way of our bloc of votes. Our numbers will expand. Bank on it.

We will disagree, rant, fight, kick, scratch and claw at each other but when we come to an agreement we will show the power of that conviction.

My ambitions are modest (running Kebaba) and likely no more than helping the individuals accomplish whatever it is they would like to pursue.
What are your ambitions? Are you interested in a governmental position? We can help.

 

[IamSid]

It would be interesting trying to run a city maybe(its unlikely though.)

So anyway I guess we vote together to get the streighnth of numbers?

 

[Whomp]

As the saying goes....never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups and take no prisoners.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

whomp, tubs and I gather to write the Idiots' Manifesto:

p.s. Hi Sid welcome to the madness

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

3 days, nine members. tubs, we need a graph or chart. Are we growing faster than the other parties?

this was my attempt at a graf:

 

[Daghdha]

This is my effort on the graph, but actually it's two and their names are Hanna and Magdalena....Graaf

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Hmmm I love Grafs

 

[Whomp]

Hmmm...I dunno B.... I kinda prefer Graafs.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

That's it, spoil my puns ...
btw I think I made it out of the mess in the OCC, workers are out working and such, but it might just be the uprisings. Oh well.
