DIA Policy Discussion

[Thud]

lol, yeah, nimitz, that would be a good idea. I took that section right out of my first post, oops.

Panag, it's really not a col, persay. the only col thing about it is the leadership section. I'm sure that once we have a charter instated, it won't fundamentally change the way we've been running it, aside from having an organized leadership, and being together on goals. If you don't like the goals or the leadship secion, please suggest your own way of doing things. I can see how having a government liaison might be a little too, um... "political", and if people don't like it, I will take that out.

Any other comments?

Thud, I think this is pretty good. I like the language and it expresses most of my interests well. You have my full support for the post of DIA president if you want it. I would be happy to help, maybe as PR officer.

[Sean]

Excellent work Thud.
You'll get my vote.
Speaking of that, it is importantant to stand candidates in as many positions as possible.

Sean.

Section III: Long-term policy:

1. Concentrate on and encourage internal development, overseas exploration, and domestic expansion, as well as development of technology and trade resources.
2. Avoid war, unless this interferes with the first objective in a critical and unavoidable manner.

War usually helps most of the former. And if I'm reading this right, you are saying that we should only avoid war if it will interfere with the first policy. Maybe you should clarify that avoiding war is the act that you do not want to interfere with the former, not the actual war.

[Thud]

Unless being the key word in that trevman. We will avoid war, unless we simply can't. If you program it's:
If(possible): Avoid War
Not(avoiding it interferes with our internal development unavoidably): Declare War

War should be avoided, unless we end up in a situation that unless war occurs, than we are certain to stagnate. Like being stuck in the middle of a jungle.

[GePap]

Good job Thud! I await the first new, probaby uncontested elections.

I must say that the first challange might be to make parties relevant. The war-expansion side got the uper hand, but Uber's Isle gives us an issue and a way to expand without war, and we must push that. I think we also have to push the issues of large projects, like FP, and the need to consolidate and imrove our holdings. In short, we have to reintroduce the party to the public, and strongly sell the notion that wars of expansion are not the only way to expand.

[Sean]

Good point GePap, with the elections perhaps being uncontested, it is important (as I stated earlier) to find candidates for as many positions as possible.

It is important to act fast and colonise this new island ASAP.

Sean.

There is now a forum for DIA member discussion. Please join it, as future policy will be created using the opinions on this forum, including voting on the charter and leaders.

May I ask why you guys revived the party? And no, I'm not just trying to make trouble, I'm just curious, since I thought things seemed to be going fine...

hi ,

, because of the good old times , ........

have a nice day

[Nimitz]

Yes and we figure things are leaning to much to the warmongers side.

[Thud]

Yeah, we're stubborn old men. We can't get used to democracy working. After all, in the good old days, the mud-slinging made the whole thing much more exciting.

And we peacnics want our voice heard over the din of swords clanging.

[Aggie]

Thud, I am wondering what the DIA view of the current war is. Do you support a war for the pyramids and the luxuries or would you prefer we stop after gordium. I'm just curious since we are all one government we should all work together. Also congradulations on your victory.
