Upcoming polls

[Sommerswerd]

^ I like this poll except I think we should add something to choice 1 - If all officers are unavailable, responsibility passes to the current turnplayer.

I doubt (and hope) it never comes to that, but I think we should have a plan just in case.

remember though, that we dont even need to add that clause, because that rule is already in the Constitution. The default rule is that the turnplayer(s) handle things. So no matter what rule we decide on, the default rule, that kicks in when nobody else is available, is always for the turnplayer to handle it.

@ Norton I - Can we please either get one of these polls posted, or get a ruling on which poll I should post?

 

[Norton I]

I'll post the second of the two polls. I'll also add wideyed's sentence. Although it is indeed already covered by the constitution is will adds clarity.

 

[Sommerswerd]

OK, now for the suggested language in the acronym poll:

AMAZON acronym poll - Turn 15

What does the acronym, A M A Z O N stand for?

1. Alliance of Matriarchal And Zenobian Omnipotent Nations
2. Allied Magnificent Accolytes of the Zenobian Omnipotent Nations
3. Allied Matriarchal Association of Zenobian Omnipotent Nations
4. All Males And Zero Obvious Nubians
5. Always Making A Zulu Offensive Notion
6. Always Massively Aware ZzzZZzzZ OW NOESS Sleepy
7. Amazing Mermaids After Zoink's Oval Nation
8. AMAZON Maidens Against Zeus's Other Nations
9. AMAZONs Make Angry Zombies Of Neighbours
10. AMAZON's Might Always Zaps Other Nations
11. AMAZON's Mighty Alliance of the Zenobian Omnipotent Nations
12. Arisen Marvels At the Zenobian Overpower-full Nation
13. Awesome Monster that Attacks Zenobian Omnipotent Nations
14. It is so sacred that we can never say it
15. There is no acronym

I tried to include all the ideas mentioned, and listed them in alphabetical order. Hopefully this will be a fun low-impact poll.

Are you kidding? This is our most important poll yet!

 

[nabaxo]

I suggest you add yet another option: "16. It's all of the above. ALL of the above".

 

[Norton I]

Just realized we will need to have the next tech poll quickly... can someone (turnplayer?) give me a list of the projected research times of the available techs? Thanks!

 

[damnrunner]

Should be same as before -mining and + BW. I expect we all vote BW is there any dissent?

 

[Lord Civius]

Sorry Norton I do not have the time right now. I planned to do the turn now as there is no way i can do it tomorrw. If you put the poll up soon (without projections) we can still get a 48 hour poll in and u can add the projections later. I have done everything except hit end turn so we can let the clock roll for over 24 hours. We can also pick a tech as a placeholder until the poll is finished.

 

[Norton I]

I'll put up the poll... if the poll isn't closed before we have to choose, the leading choice can be placeholder... and most probably we will have a clear winner anyway, since I have seen no arguments for something else than BW anywhere.

 

[Sommerswerd]

It looks like the great Chiefs and Tribal leaders of our Matriarchal Alliance are once again going to be unanimous in support of our next tech choice... However, the upcoming tech choices have the potential to see a little more difference of opinion.

We definitely don't want to be putting up our tech polls at the last minute for controversial tech choices.

So here are the available techs for after we get Bronze Working:
Mysticism - 6 Turns, 74
Masonry - 9 Turns, 119
Sailing - 10 Turns, 149
The Wheel - 7 Turns, 89
Writing - 12 Turns, 179
Iron Working - 22 Turns, 299
Archery - 6 Turns, 89
Horseback Riding - 24 Turns, 373
Keep in mind that these turn times will decrease as the city grows, especially once our silver mines are completed.

I will start a thread devoted to discussing our tech choices / tech strategy. Hopefully we can flesh out our tech choices there so that the AMAZON Chiefs have all the info they need to cast a vote on behalf of their individual Zenobian Nation.

 

[Sommerswerd]

I almost forgot... Since BW is a resource-revealing tech, we may want to do multiple polls, the same way we did with AH, so that we know what we will do if the tech reveals copper, and what we will do if it does not.

 

[Sommerswerd]

OK so we need to decide our city 2 location in order to make plans about getting (or not getting) SH. So I am re-posting my suggestion for the City 2 location Poll.

Of course other AMAZONs should feel free to add locations if they feel other locations should be considered. If we choose a different location from the one in my SH test, then the SH plan will just have to be re-worked... based on the City location we select.

City 2 Location Poll

Where Shall We Build our Second City?

Location A (Green)

Location B (Red)

Explanation of Choices
Location A - Grassland Forest, gives 3 sheep in the BFC
Location B - Plains Hill Forest, gives 4 sheep in the BFC

Nabaxo mentioned putting a note about the SH plan next to choice "B" but I don't know about that.... It seems to me that doing that would not make the poll objective. So maybe we can just save that for the dicussion posts in the poll itself.

 

[SilentConfusion]

I think we had someone suggest 1SW of spot B. I haven't heard much talk about it since then, but we could add it as a choice (can call it C). The argument was that it would grow faster because it could use one of the capitol's sheep. I think I'd like it as an option.

 

[Sommerswerd]

OK so how about this?

City 2 Location Poll

Where Shall We Build our Second City?

Location A (Green)

Location B (Red)

Location C (Yellow)

Explanation of Choices
Location A - Grassland Forest, gives 3 sheep in the BFC
Location B - Plains Hill Forest, gives 4 sheep in the BFC
Location C - Plains Hill Forest, gives 3 sheep in the BFC

 

[SilentConfusion]

Those are the only city locations I can see us possibly picking. Not that I would necessarily choose the one I wanted added, just I thought it was a possibility.

 

[damnrunner]

Those choices look good to me

 

[Sommerswerd]

Kaspog asked for a poll on the workboat's name... albeit in the wrong thread. These were the suggestions...

How about our exploration work boat? It could be "The Beagle"... if we want to stay with the cartoon stuff: "Nemo"

I like Jenny

How about Theodor Tugboat then?

I was under the impression that we unofficially named our work boat Theodore Tugboat?

So the poll will be:

Unit Name Poll (workboat) - Turn 30

What Shall we Name our Workboat?

1. The Beagle
2. Nemo
3. Jenny
4. Theodor Tugboat
5. Theodore Tugboat

I'm not familiar with Theo tugboat so I dont know which spelling to use... with or without the 'e' at the end... might as well include both choices and let AMAZONs vote on it.

We also have a new warrior, so we can decide how we will name our military units. I suggest the following poll:

Unit Naming Poll - Military Units - Turn 30

How Shall We Name Our Military Units?

1. Pick from the list of Amazon Names
2. Turnplayer names it whatever they want
3. Anyone can name units - First entry or suggestion wins
4. Anyone can name units - Multiple suggestions means we poll

Explanation of Choices
Lord Civius posted a link to an alphabetical list of famous Amazons in the "Unit Names" thread.

Once we decide this, we can name the warrior according to the method that we choose.

We get BW in 2 turns so we also need a tech poll, which I will post now using the template I posted a while back.

 

[remake20]

For the unit names, can we add a choice for other names, suggested names are fine, but I don't think later in the game we have time to poll every unit name. I think it might be better to pick categories and then vote on the category we will use for each types of units (eg. Amazons, cartoons, ect.)

 

[Lord Civius]

Not that I am an adocate of the Tugboat but giving 2 choices will undoubtly lower its chances of winning. The correct spelling is Theodore btw.

 

[wideyedwanderer]

I would assume the results from the two Tugboats would be combined.
