We have Einstein, we have Elvis, but who's the other guy?

[Eli]

In the modern age we have Einstein to increase the science in the city, Elvis to increase the luxuries and other guy to increase the taxes.


Does the other guy like Einstein and Elvis some important economost or something similar, or not?

I think I like Uncle Sam. Hmm. sam, sams, uncle sam, uncle sams...

It would be 1 uncle sam, or two+ sams.

There now, what's the plurlal of elvis?

Elvi

It can be shortened to "Rocks".

I never use tax collectors

perhaps I'm not greedy enough?

for me it just einsteins and elvi

[Gastrifitis]

I call him Count Taxula.

[airdrik]

key factor: rememberability, how well can people remember the name? I don't think I would ever be able to remember that they are called Rockyfellows, or whatever. It is much easier to remember Uncle Sam, or just Sam. I can spell that, and I think most other people will be able to spell that as will, and also:

quote: "I didn't need the extra science or happiness so I used Rocks."

just doesn't sound right, it sounds more like you built Rock(affeler)'s something or other rather than tax colletors.

[drake]

How about "scum of the earth", or easier to remember "dog feces"?

A famous tax collector in legend was the Sherrif of Nottingham, does anybody know his personal name? Guy de Guisborne was a different character wasn't he?

[rah]

I actually thought it would be easy to remember one of the richest families of all time, airdrik

But if someone from Idaho didn't recognize it,
1. My age is showing.
or
2. The public school system has gotten worse than I thought.

Nevermind, just move along, there's nothing to see here.

[airdrik]

It isn't as much that he isn't all that hard to remember, it is just that his name is too big, and has too many syllables, and, and, and... and Uncle Sam is just easier to remember.

[Adam Smith]

I have been rather annoyed by the similarity of the tax collector to my appearance ever since the game came out. Microprose never did get me to sign a release. I wonder what lawyer icons look like?

[airdrik]

I totally agree. Generally he is just called the tax collector, but I definetally think he needs an actual name. How about Adam Smith (but his name is already in the game), or < scratch, scratch > What would be a good name that people would be able to remember?

[Xin Yu]

Uncle Sam.
