civman, definetly not! But having a lot of money and a good tech advantage is just as good, if not better than having some money and a very good tech advantage.

I can speak english, you know the language that all dumb people understand.... like me.... can someone translate?

[civman2000]

La lengua que los bobos entienden es la frances! La ingles es peor que el espanol, pero mucho mejor que la frances!

Translation/traduccion: The lenguage that all the dumb people understang is French! English is worse than Spanish, but much better than French!

That'll be a great trnaslation. I enjoy writing sentences and then translating back in forth between a bunch of languages and english and getting really funny stuff back

Francais n'est pas bete!!! C'est pour les intelligents. L'espagnol est pour restauration rapide (je plaisante, je ne suis pas raciste).

EDIT: Desole si j'ai oublie les accents.

LOL! Yes, I've done that myself to great amusement a few times. But at least it gives you enough information to figure out what was being said.

[civman2000]

No escuchen a los que hablan la frances. Todos saben que el espanol es la lengua de la mejor tipa de gente. LA FRANCES ES PARA LA GENTUZA!

[cavebear]

Enough already!

No, not spam, just that it's embarassing to realize I can't speak any other language with any competency at all. I did learn Latin, but no one seems to speak that anymore. All I can remember from Spanish is "Yo hablo muy muy poco Espan~ol.

OK, I guess everyone has had a chance to declare their interest in the 2 vacant positions.

After considerable thought, I have made the selections.

For Vice President, I choose civman2000. Partly because he has been around a bit longer, and he has posted well and thoughtfully. And I'm not saying that the other interested parties for the position haven't, but civman just seems to fit the job best at the moment. And partly because he disagrees with many of my opinions. That may seem strange, but I think there is value in having some loyal opposition close at hand. It will give me an opportunity to subvert, er, I mean "learn from" him.

And don't worry about being away at the time the election results have to be announced, civman. You do the work setting them up, and I'll take care of the end part while you are away.

For Minister of City-Planning, I choose Bear. I think a Capitalist managing the development of Communist cities is a great idea that follows the historical imperative (we will take advantage of the talents of Capitalist pig-dogs to bury them in the dustheaps of history). Besides, with a name like "Bear", I almost feel like he is the cub I never had.

And, if it seems necessary, I confirm CannonFodder as Minister of Imperial Expansion. As an unopposed candidate, it was very unlikely that he would have lost had his position been polled. It's not his fault that my poll about combining the 2 positions confused things.

And we have me, Bear, who believes in hugely improving our income, maintaining our technological advantage and funding war that way..

You forgot to mention that I am on a mission to save the world. What's your higher aim, Bear?

Actually, just to clarify, I believe I will be able to both increase our science and gold levels...
