    First of all, the strategic direction was general guidelines of what I want a Chief of Staff to be willing to accept. This is opposed to say hiring a Chief of Staff who is pacifist.
    I'm also somewhat upset by the broad range of points you listed. We had discussed this with both Yaro and you, and it seemed to me all was done, except for who would be Defense Minister. The longer we debate, the longer it is until the game starts.
    I'll address the points.

    1) I'll gladly be Defence Minister but since I am accepting the role of defence minister, I feel that I should be included in the choosing of Front commanders as a second opinion to the Chief of Staff.
    Ok with you as Defense minister. As for Front Commands, that is the Chief of Staff's responsibility, with input from us. However, we need not approve the final list. Anyway, Centre will be well represented in front commands, I believe you are already getting two fronts.

    2) Some of PinkyGen's war strategies are too hawkish. The Centre Party would like to suggest a list of targets which the IDF can attack for the safety of Israel. Any further targets that the military wishes to make would be left to a knesset vote which would need at least 80% to pass.
    Explain how it's hawkish? It's link up the territory we have, capture East Jerusalem, defend the settlements, and use anything left over to take other cities.
    You may propose a list, but tactical direction of the war is responsibility of the Chief of Staff, with input. As for adding targets requring 80% of the knesset, that is ridiculous. We are still debating this coalition, now we are adding more conditions? The military responds to our demands, but not everything they do can be voted on in the knesset. I can discuss specific cities, but it's not even specifically my duty, it is the Chief of Staff.

    If you disprove of something, bring this up the Chief of Staff. If you feel are you are being ignored, bring it up to me. If you feel like I ignore you, then you can stay or leave in the coalition. But we musn't harmstring the military by voting on whether to take a city or not, it's ridiculous.

    3) Most of my spending as Defence minister will be defensive which means city fortifications for all Israeli towns and appropriate defenders. No town should simply be abandoned.
    You do not control disposition of defenders, Chief of Staff does. And yes, you could build a ton of defenses, but remember we need military units, and not every city needs a city fortification if there is not much threat to it. Keep in mind also Econ Minister must approve rushbuys.

    4) The President should be elected by the rest of the knesset and should also get the added responsibility of purchasing weapons from the international dealers (occurs after the war starts).
    It's a little late to do that, and you are adding powers to the President he should not have. It's largely ceremonial, and the way you seemed to be seeking the post earlier, it seemed as though it would be included in coalition negotiation, not dealt with seperately. If you wanted to rewrite something like this so drastically, you should have done it a while ago, not now. I assumed since you would not take President, One Israel would appoint the President for it's largely ceremonial role. Do not overcomplicate this, people are already getting confused on the rules.

    Econ Minister obviously gets the task of buying arms.

    5) The immigration minister should have the option of disbanding immigrants on his own and should be allowed to command naval vessels needed to convoy immigrant ships.
    Defense Minister's responsibility, since he is deciding what to build. Since you are Defense Minister, you may decide to let your fellow Centre party member do the job, but do it effeciently.

    6) I would like yaroslav to be assured a position in the IDF as he has worked very hard to get this Democracy Game up and running.
    This was already discussed, he's getting the front he wants, in addition to I believe Azazel as well.


    And thanks for wishing me a happy holiday.

    I'm willing to alter the strategic direction thread, since I don't consider it that important. My general idea is this

    1. Support offensive action so all of our cities will be linked together, and not be seperated by Arab territory.
    We need to relieve some of our far off settlements. While we should not defend these places at all costs, we should make attempts to open road routes so we can send reinforcements. Additionally, some of our larger towns in the Galilee are cut off by Arab towns.
    2. Be willing to expand our defensive perimeter.
    3. Maintain our control of West Jerusalem, and have a plan to allow access to the holy Old City once more by capture of East Jerusalem.
    4. In addition to the above 3 reasons to capture Arab cities, be willing to capture or bribe Arab cities for the purposes of using their infrastructure to aid our economy and production.
    5. Be mindful that in 5-6 turns, the British leave, and we must be prepared to resist the full fury of the Arab attack.

    Obviously, this will involve coordinating with front commander, but the Chief of Staff will select front commanders, but be amendable to suggestions from above.

      Well it sounds like my boss and I are are on the same track. As you can see from my PM's this morning, EMU.

      Since Im the task-master for One Israel, we are going to wait 24 hours for a reply. Because Im a buthole. (Well I am but that is not really the reason) The real reason is that everyone wants to get playing this, we have been messing around with this for months. So 24 hours and then we just move forward.

      Its just not fair to the others to make them wait.

      Lets agree on a strategic direction, and then work the details as we go.

      Major issues (such as how the president gets into office) should really be put to a poll. But right now I say we go with what was agreed to in the Poll: PinkyGen's Laws. We virtually all agreed to it. So lets just do it.

      thanks

      have a nice day

        Can the defence minister give the immigration minister ships to protect the transports for my own use? (only for defence of course)

          I see this as a minor issue that can be worked out. In theory I dont have a problem with it , if it makes the game go smoother.

          Lets agree on the Strategic Direction first or else we wont have a coalition!

            To echo my number 2,

            If the Defense Minister wishes to cede that task to you, that is alright, though I may change in my mind in the unlikely event that I think it is hampering operations.

              Butting in on your party thread again, sorry.

              It's only two turns before elections, but if Centre wishes, they can appoint someone to Defense Minister since Emu is AWOL and it gives One Israel near Monopoly to have Conmcb25 play Defense Minister.

                Well, the thing is that we have 5 members, 3 on the military, 2 on the parlament. There is nobody else in the party.

                If Stalin II wants to be both minister of Inmigration and Defense is up to him, but the other members of the party are in the army, so they can't be ministers.

                  He can't double up. He could take over Defense if he wants, but he cannot hold both jobs. We do have elections coming up soon, so I am not sure if it is worthwhile to juggle the positions around, but I felt it was a duty to let you know your options.

                      Alright, seeing that elections are coming up, we need to come up with a good campaign to try and draw more votes to our party. We should pm each other with ideas on what to do for our election campaign and discuss the possibility of shuffling around our party list (if you guys think we should).

                        So if one israel wins the elections again, we will possibly keep these old positions? (Emugod as Defence minister, me as the immigration minister)

                        What if we wont have positions in the knesset after the elections, what will happen to us?

                          There are too much things to do... We should ask ourselves is we have done the best for the country!!! Where have we imposed our politicis (if we have our own politics)? In what aspect of the game are we different from One Israel party? I mean, One Israel is for a FULL WAR expansion, Harmony Party is for BRIBING and we are for something in the MIDDLE, but we haven't take any measures to control how we're expanding.

                          Also, under this administrations some citiziens have set themselves in "I-don't-believe-in-this-system" mode (ie - they haven't post in the forum lately). Plus, the Harmony party is out of any position of power.... And they are supported by many citiziens all over the country.

                          So, somethings are to be set for our next campaign. Wherever we govern in solo mode or in a coaliction, it's mandatory, IMHO,

                          1) To attract more citiziens to the game and to recover the lost citiziens. The goverment should write reports to be published in the Civ2 section!!!

                          2) To give a role to the Harmony Party... Maybe the Presidency of the nation as it's not very powerful and by doing so we'll put them also in the war effor - in a time where all hands are welcomed.

                          3) To lobby against any expansion into Syria and Egypt...

                          4) To get a compromise from the govt that all the Kibuzt are going to be defended.

                          5) To work out a system to improve the comunications between the ministers and the military.

                          That's all - for now.

                            I have no problem expanding into the Golan Heights, if we'll be able to do it.

                              I think our best for a political campaign would be to target the current mistakes of the government such as the failure of the economic minister to fully set up a taxing system to get as much money as possible. I think our target list idea of the last time was an effective way to moderate both sides of the expanstionist and defensive spending.

                              I think we need to try and get as many votes as possible and then try to form a coalition with either of the parties. I think what sets us aside is our centrist policy which will bing us into any coalition government since Harmony and One Israel would be very reluctant to form a government with each other.

                                We're part of the govt... Isn't a little strange to whine about the govt when we were part of it?

                                And... are there citiziens that aren't members of any party? Because, with all the citiziens being part of the parties there is no campaign we can do...

                                Centric is very good and I believe in it But we can't see it just as a way of getting votes from the left and the rigth - it's mandatory that we work our politics... I think that we're falling to close to One Israel... Could a citizien differentiate between us and them? If not, what does this party stand for?
