Vice President Campaign Thread

[Apocalypse]

Anyway...you're thinking of cooperative think, not collective thinking. Collective is like a hive mind. We aren't that nor should we be.

[Timeline]

Collective is like a hive mind. We aren't that nor should we be.

That is extremely vague.

Allow me to give an exact explination of what I mean,

Collective Thinking: The way our government generates its plans and course of action. A way for us to develop intelligence and ability greater than the sum of any individual members' talents.

Case Pink is an excellent example of collective thinking. NYE proposes a course of action, Sir Ralph refines, others comment and a better plan as a whole is developed.

Collective thinking comes about through common understanding, the key that constructs our differing ideas into a cohesive course of action.

[Apocalypse]

No, that is cooperative. Collective is "We propose a course of action, we refine, we comment and develop."

Resistance is futile.

Once again you are attempting to tell me what I am trying to say. You don't have to tell me what I am saying and what I mean, I already know.

Try this: Go get a dictonary and go ahead and look up the word "collective", or "collective thinking" if it is available to you . You may be suprised by the definition.

You will find: "Formed by collection of thoughts"

Pretty simple eh?

We "collect" the "thoughts" of many individuals, and form a collective whole. -Collective Thinking.

[Apocalypse]

You are using it in the wrong context. Mine is more accurate.

hi ,

so guys , what is your program going to be , ....

any thoughts on that you want to tell the people , ....

have a nice day

The context is in the dictonary, and is undisputable. Your warped sense of the word because of a fictional government in Alpha Centuari does not mean my text book definition is flawed.

Both ideas presented work. I have explained my meaning simply so now there should be no more question. I do not stand for enforcing ideals and terms of thinking upon people, but I encourage diversity of thought, so that we may pool our mental resources to build a better nation!

Program? Basically my program is as follows:

Be present at every turn chat so I can assist the President or take over if needed.

Be educated about our current plans, so that if any minister is missing I will know what he wanted us to do.

Be active in the forums to help encourage collective thought and development of plans.

[Apocalypse]

I didn't bring SMAC up once.

Anyway, we both agree on the type of thinking, so in value of progress, let us move on.

Program: Work for the will of the people and making sure their rights don't get trampled on.

hi ,

do you care to post some more details , ....

and maybe your background and skills that you might have that could help you with this job , ....

have a nice day

[Apocalypse]

Sure thing.

I've been heavily involved in the Civ3 demo game since the beginning. I discuss it all the time in the chat. This is how I became good friends with so many of the main participants. This will allow me to get things done.

I play a lot of TBS games too, including Civ3. I've played it quite a bit even after being disappointed with the state it was released in. Unlike my opponent, I've also been in the community for a long time.

Most importantly, I care about our Civilization. I want it to succeed. Nothing pleases me more than making people happy. This gives me a level of motivation that my opponent seems to lack.

[Apocalypse]

Both. I look to the long run and convince them why it is good so that they'll also be happy in the long run.
