I have a question to both candidates : what is the priority of good reputation for you ? Will you always reject breaking treaties, or will you show flexibility here, at the expense of reputation ?

Sorry, I never caught this question

Stability is top prioity in my opinion. If shown weakness, civs will exploit us, if shown strength, civs will be against us.

Breaking treaties to me is a serious thing, it can be the difference between losing and winning. So I will often demand careful consideration towards all reasons for going to war, before breaking any peace treaty.

Of course I'll vote for the little pilot dog, who made the green Notylopian palms as beautiful as they are...

Sn00py has shown dedication with his wondrous mods for Civ3 - and in my mind this is THE only important pre-req for any position.

And you're an NZer, too, ain'tcha Sn00py? If so you have my support. Everyone knows NZers do jobs well in an international setting.

yep



yes, aussies like to make sheep jokes at us and we like to make jokes on their stupidity, (coz they are). but what aussies don't know (because of their stupidity) is that Aussies have something like 5x more sheep than we do.

Question to the candidates

I have established a website for this post at foreignministry.4t.com

if elected, would you want this domain handed over to your control, or would you create your own.

This question is because im thinking of upgrading it somewhat.. but if its existance only matters for a week more (or untill i get relected to this job), then i wont upgrade it.

[FrostyBoy]

Well most of the info will be in the newspaper (maybe) and some of it on the official site (opening soon). So I don't think (for myself), I will be keeping a stand alone site for Foreign affairs.

That's it?!

If you expect to be OUR Foreign Affairs Minister you need at least two additional passports to France and Greece, as well as be able to at least speak French and the Persian language.

And Russian. Dont forget Russian

As the foreign minister it will be one of your duties to define and cultivate a relationship with our civilisation buddies. Another feature will be to rule over a hoard of somewhat inept spies, how to you feel about using them, will you ever consent to tryin to steal a technology (that is if the huge amount of money required would warrant it).

[jdd2007]

i would rather not risk spying too much, but yes, if need be i would agree to steal a tech. however, spying costs insane amounts, and we could probably buy it for less...
