It's role play, not an insult. See the tiny little caption at the bottom of the post?

Sorry if it came across wrong.

Yes, I've not read it first. So, DaveShack, you can write your comments about the DG here if you want to. We would be glad if you do that.

President revives old RPG Mni-Game,

President Octavian X brought up the idea of a feudal Mini-Game. PLayers in the game will own real in-game tiles. The improvements on the tiles will affect the growth and production for your land. Players use the money, food and other items gained to purchase military troops or building and get people to settle the land. Players can hand out privelages to other players. Icmancin asked: "Would our government style affect gameplay? That is what we build, our titles etc?" No answer has been given as of yet. The Feudal Mini-Games current home is located Here

Hello, readers.
There will be some changes in the way The Informant is run. First take a look at the latest Edition. There will be an Edition for every day of the week, plus the Saturday Edition will be a review of the past week, and what we thought of the past weeks Political and non-political actions. That is, one similar to the one posted Yesterday.
Qustions, comments and Role-Play is highly supported. Like i said Saturday will be Criticism Day where everybody is invited to post what your htought of our articles and what you thought of the Government progress in DG VII.
The Articles will be divided in two: Citizens and Government. Citizens includes the Role-PLay, Citizen Groups and everything concerning everyday actions while Government focuses on the Officials and the actual gameplay. Thanks for reading all,
Ic

 

[Icmancin]

Sorry everyone for the lack of an Article yesterday. There won't be an article today ethier on account of personal issues.

Government ***

Violating Territory

Expatriate Governer RegentMan has opened a discussion on wether or not we should violate Frances border for exploration purposes. Being Empress Arc, we will annoy the French leader into threatening us. Remember, our military is equal to one Brigade (some 3000 soldiers) compared to a much larger French army of well over 10 000 soldiers. This exploration task concerns the Expatriate Governner because he will not have a city unless one is captured. What do you think we should do?

Territory Violation here​

Trading Techs

Trade and Technology Minister truckingpete has posted a discussion concerning the trading of technologies to foreign nations (only France at the moment). The French Empress denies any trade offer for Technologies we offer. When asked why she promptly said:

"C'est pas possible. Fanatikos est merde!"

Clearly Civver Zues is not getting along well with the french Empress. The language difference will also cause many problems. truckingpete announced that he may not make it to the turnchat. He is asking US to tell him what we think he should do.

Tell him Here​

Areiopagos at Work

The Judicial Team (Ravensfire, Black_Hole and mhcarver) has answered questions regarding the Constitution of Fanatikos such as:

Will a 4-2 vote by the Governors meet the 67% requirement?
Is the ability of the Governors to overrule the Assembly in CoL F.2 constitutional?
Who names the a city - the first Governor or the Governor when the city is founded?
Who controls the actions of workers?

Nothing is final yet but this progress is progress.

Articles

Civatonia

Senator\Governer Chieftess is among a group of settlers which are currently awaiting instructions. Chieftess, the leader of the group, wishes to move the group Eastwards, towards the Twin Mountains. Fanatiks agree with this decision others are suggesting a different location. Go to Civatonias City Site and give your thoughts.



The Barbarian Menace

Defense Minister vikingruler has announced that Ares, the second warrior battalion, has been defeated by the Phoenician militia outside of our borders. the marauders were attacked in hopes of increasing national security but infact decreased it. vikingruler gave the following suggestion on what we should do next:

I suggest allowing Athena to continue her exploration with her new path of a circular direction and let the 3rd warrior built to the remaining half circle. Therefore, I suggest waiting for our 5th warrior, the 4th should be used for garrisioning duties, to dispatch of the barbarians. Since a casulty has already been sustained, and the Romans and French are both poised to attack the barbs instead of us I felt the people should give their opinion on this.

Using five warriors did not go over will with the Assembly. The Assembly members which gave their thoughts are proposing that our next warrior battalion should be used to destroy the Phoenician militia. Please post your thoughts Here



First Contact

In response to meeting the French, we had found another advanced race: The Romans. Roman cultureis quite similar to ours. The Roman military is also quite large. they too are a city state; their capital currently resides in Rome. It is unknown where Rome is actually located but Athena, our first battalion has found French border markers. Rome is ahead in technology of us by three, and ahead of France by one. It is undoubted that Fanatikos is considered a backward, barbarian state, which is not worth anything more than the Phoenicians. We will prove them wrong.


A Backwards Nation

A downcast Minister of Trade and Technology has reported that we are officially dumb. truckingpete has reprted that both the french and Romans have more technologies than us, including all the technologies we know. They have not, however, discovered the secrets that our sages are research called "Writing". View the sadding announcement Here​

That's Fanatikos in a nutshell,

Trades are open!

Fanatikos, Episode I: The Foreign Menace

Unfortunately we are in a "Dilly of a pickle." Barbarian soldiers ravage the land and the Imperial Powers are in search of war. We are behind them in technology, wealth and military might. There are many disscussions about what to do. The only thing we can do is wait. Wait and progress. But we do have one thing other them: The intelligent minds and organization of the Fanatikos government. We are more numerous that they and we can make decisions as a group instead of being lead by a single despot. That is the only thing we have on them. And we will use it.

The End of Term One


Term one is drawing to a close. Every position is accepting nominees. Term two is a chance for new opportunity for evryone. Defeated nominees in last terms elections return for another shot. They may not come back for the same shot but they're back for another shot. Like when you have too much whiskey and then you want some tequila. Something like that.

Positions are being changed around. CivGeneral, previous nominee for the position of Defense Minister, is now campaigning for the title of mayor of our next city, the third. truckingpete and vikingruler have accepted nominations for thier origninal position. I am going to campaign for Minister of Foreign Affairs position again. Nobody, our current Minister of Foreign Affairs, has not accepted his nomination.

The nomination tracker thread is located Here

I will be keeping you updated on the Elections in small news burst as well as the sencond day editions.
