I told you so.

I'm going to summarize and state here the reforms that I'll be instituting if elected President, and my short-term and long-term goals for our Great Civilization. I've already mentioned these in my speeches, but here's a convenient repository for all of these.

Reforms:
(1) (Suggested Law #1 no longer exists.)
(2) Reforms to the 3/4 term limits law:
(2a) If anyone has held any office for 3 or more consecutive terms, they may not run for office for the next term, unless:
(2b) they are running for Historian, or
(2c) our Civilization is at war with another at the time of the elections, and they are running for President, Foreign Minister, or Military Commander.

In addition, my long-term plans for our Great Civilization are:
(1) Encouraging a program of rapid technological progress
(2) A switch to Fundamentalism, to raise large quantities of cash
(3) Continuing production of caravans for rapid wonder construction
(4) Training large numbers of diplomats or spies under Fundamentalism to steal technology and bribe cities
(5) Always examining the state of enemy civilizations and our own military, defensive and offensive, before beginning any conflict.

Short-term goals:
(1) Ensuring all our cities are defended by Walls and two good defenders
(2) Asking the Vice President to commission a poll to ask the people why they voted for the candidate they voted for

A poll? That means at least one thread beforehand to get an idea of the different reasons, so there can be multiple options in the poll, in the NEXT thread.

Maybe it would suffice just to have a (non-poll) thread that asks ppl for their reasons. Or is that too personal? Either way we need to think up as many reasons as we can.

[civman2000]

(1) Only former council members may run for President, ensuring that someone with at least some governmental experience will rule.

doesnt this mean YOU cant run???

I wish I could take back my vote for you now , IMHO that is a dumb idea and introducing too many rules will make us like the civfanatics game...Ive looked at that game and it doesnt look as fun as this one

[cavebear]

My honorable opponent has suggested some detailed plans and rules he will implement as President.

I favor a more flexible approach to solving problems. "Sufficient unto the day, are the problems of the day". Let the Citizens of the future solve their own problems, in circumstances we do not know of at this time. Don't fence them in!

As President:

I will take the Wonders of our enemies by stealth or force.
I will always have a stock of healthy and happy camels for trade and Wonders.
I will follow the recommendations of the Citizens and the Ministers.
I will administer our Civ firmly but fairly.

With the help of the Ministers, I will expand our cities, improve the quality of our military, increase our science, establish new trade routes, and weaken our enemies!

Finally, as each President as done before me, I will leave my successor with a stronger and more thriving Civ!

Thank you...

[Shadowlord]

It would, except that I'd have been elected before the creation of that "law."

All of those would be subject to a vote by the council before they could be instituted, the President casting the tiebreaking vote.

Marquis, we'll make sure the other poor bastard dies for his civilization, right?
