The Imperialist-3A2C3 Party

[History Guy]

Thank you indeed, Mr. President. It is indeed an honor to be a part of this great party of men. Under our current president and his imperialist stance, I believe, we shall become that greatest of civilizations which we have always been destined to become. Apolytonia was always destined to become an empire, through knowledge, commerce, and especially power, and indeed, it shall be.

Welcome. It's a pleasure to have you both on board, and I hope that with the Imperialists we can all help expand across the world, through diplomacy, peace, or ... war.

If you will have me, I would like to join the Imperialists. Our game should be guided by two principles -- and only two, at this point: we must expand by any means at our disposal, and we must proceed pragmatically, not dogmatically. After witnessing various other parties and political figures in action, I have become convinced the Imperialist-3A2C3 party best embodies this philosophy.

[The Dark Lord]

If you will have me (and if this party is still active) I will join. I want nothing more than to see our civilization elevated above all others, using whatever methods work best.

Great!
We're still around, I've been on vacation and my internet has been down, but I'm back now, so it's no problem.

[Micaelus]

I would very much like to call myself a member of the Imperialist Party.

excuse me, but what does this 3A2C3 thing stand for? An acronym, and how is it connected to the Imperialist party?

Unlike other parties, our goal is not to destroy the world, destroy the political system, or destroy our opponents

May I ask, is this still true? Is this party really not a party at all, and does not have party politics?

Well, my own personal take on this aspect of our creed is that we Imperialists are a party insofar as we are offering a way to unite and focus political action among likeminded people ....
But not a party that adheres to a dogmatic platform or a rigid game strategy. Not war for war's sake (the Hawks?), nor determined to turtle and build as soon as we gain territory (DIA?) We are pragmatists, we want to remain flexible, we seek an end (expansion) aand are ready to employ many means (war, to be sure, but also building, technical advancement, cultural conquest ...) to accomplish that end.
Again, just my opinion.

The 3A2C3 is the abbreviation for the Association of Apolytonians Against a Constitution (AAAC), a group formed from civman2000, me and numerous others in the Civ2 Democratic game as opposition to having a long-winded Constitution. When this forum was started, the party was ported over here as the AAAC for Civ3, or AAACC3, or 3A2C3 (geddit? ). Early on (before the game here had started), there was the proposition of a merger between the 3A2C3 and the Imperialists (Trip's party).

Whilst I was away it seems the merger happened, and several other parties joined in to make the UFC (United Front Coalition, IIRC). This party somehow encompassed the policies of all its' constitutents, but I do not see this for the 3A2C3. As a co-founder of this "party" I guess I am obliged to stay a member of it (civman2000 has since found his ideas best represented by the DIA - Democratic Industrialists of Apolytonia, the other large party), but I may have to reassess the union with the UFC. Or disband the party entirely if I am the only member (especially if I want to be a Justice... ). I have found myself alternately disagreeing with both DIA and UFC, so I guess a strict party policy is not really my scene. (Did I just say that?!?! )

Or, I guess that since originally our one top priority was to oppose long-winded Constitutions, the 3A2C3 is kinda like the Anarchists....

An Anarchist Justice .... THAT would be very interesting.



Anyone else from the party hopeful of getting into the fledgling justice system? I'm certainly interested. I suppose we should wait until the election is over before we start begging Trip about appointments.

I would like to become a justice, and if i don't get to be I hope to be an ambassador.

Can anybody tell me how to include links in my sig? I've been poking around the site, but I can't find instructions, and as a member of this party I want to set up a sig-link to this thread. (We all should. It's a great publicity and a good recruiting device -- so long as you post constructively and wisely! )
The html option in my profile/sig section seems to have been turned off, and I don't see where or how to turn it on. And then, I don't know the code for setting up a link.
Thanks in advance.
