Public Opinion Poll (Unofficial)

Doing what I did here was really choosing the lesser of two evils.

You had a productive city site NW of Apolyton and ignored it. It may overlap a bit and take 2-3 tiles away from Aoplyton, but that is not a crime if the terrain is bad. Apolyton is on the tip of a peninsula and can't remain the capital anyway, or we would cripple the empire's production, because we can't use fully the benefit of lower corruption in cities near the capital.

Your deputy is starting his (illegitimate?) effort with proposing 2 more jungle sites and one that is at least 50% corrupt. If this Empire gets one more city like this Thebes, it is doomed and this game almost certainly lost.

I originally joined the game to have fun. This is turning into a bunch of funless polls, among other funless things.

I had hoped it would be a good Civ game, because it can be. But, will it be?

Here, here!

Let's pull together as a nation; not disintegrate into petty bickering.

My point in playing a game is to have fun. Winning is good, too. But, not necessary. We haven't lost yet. Pull together and you may be amazed at what Could happen.

Also, let's not dwell on what we might have done. It wasn't done, so it doesn't factor into the future of the game. It may factor into the next elections, but it can't change what we have done.

Focus on what we can do to better our position.

I am inclined agree; we are dividing ourselves because of this, as many people have said, petty bickering.

This is supposed to be fun, not about trying to politically assasinate your opponent and sieze control of the government.

Instead of analyzing the situation and attempting to move forward, we sit here. We sit here, and argue, and argue and continue to try and slur our opponents (Whoever isn't in our political party) at any given chance.

Why must we do this? Why do we even bother to take the time to do this? It's not fun, your not being forced to do it, and I cannot see any logical reason to do so.

I mean, it's everywhere. At all times, there is at least one person out to make someone else look incompetent, even when it may have been a simple mistake, miscommunication, or lack of information. And when the person tries to apologize for the mistake, it continues on even more! It continues even when the objective has been achieved!

In my section of the Apolytonian, I have pleaded with the people to end this internal war. At first I thought that I was not being heard, and indeed that may have been true. However, it appears as if more people are beginning to notice a tumor growing within our empire, and if we do not sieze control of it immedietly it will kill us.

Ever found a city on the other side of the map, only to find its generating 15 shields, 14 being lost to corruption? That's kind of how I feel right now.

he did what he could with what he knew.

You can only wait so long before doing something. The IE waited as long as he should have before deducing that the end of the jungle was far off. It wasn't, but moving that Settler over to the more productive grassland would have taken too many turns, and might have even put it near Paris, and might be taken via culture. The IE used hus forsight as best as anyone could have, given the information we had.

Let's stop worrying and griping about what was done, and deal with what is going on in the future. Since we can't change the past, let's deal with the present and future. Let's shape the future and present as united nation.

We didn't KNOW that there was a productive city site there until AFTER we built the city!
