Campaign Thread: President

[OPD]

Ok here's the campaign thread for President.

Here are the candidates

OPD


Feel free to ask any questions

/me can't miss the opportunity to ASK awkward questions for once

What do you reckon will happen with chats? Things are getting complex, at least until all the wars die down. Chats take hours for 5-6 turns at the moment. If you are gonna try to keep some chats going (good on you and good luck ), what times can you likely do them?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I would like for each of the candidates:

1)to tell us one thing that makes them the better candidate.

2)and one thing about their opponent that they admire.

I'm waiting....

The Banana? What's not to like about the Almighty one?

lol you call that an awkward question for a moment there I was worried.

Any way i have been watching how the chats have been going for a while now and was disapointed that I couldn't properly make the one the other day.

I very much prefer chats to threads and would like to keep them going in some sort of way. I think pre turnthread chats are a good idea aswell as informal chats while carrying out orders. I will be watching how things go over the next week or so and will probably try at least one proper chat (should I be elected) although if necesary we will have to resort to threads again.

As for times I have alot of free time ATM and so could probably do alot of different times except early in the morning. Personaly I favour chats starting around 8 pm UK time although some kind of discussion with ministers would be in order should I be elected.

Anyway opening speech to follow shortly.

Well, I really sympathise with ANYone at the moment. And I may want to run again in a month's time so I want to keep as many friends as possible here.

So, Trip, Ninot - do we let OPD into the President's Club or stage an election "accident"?

That IS the only reason Trip and Ninot aren't often around, you know. Having retired, they are in a very exclusive President's Club, where vast amounts of public money is spent on entertaining their every whim. Ever noticed how, on the rare occasions that Ninot posts now, it appears to be only vaguely relevant? He is actually highly intoxicated the whole time. And Trip has met himself this lovely set of French triplet cocktail waitresses. He hasn't been seen since.....

When the Presidency is finished with me, guess where I'm going....

You're not a candidate, go to your waitress club or something...........




Seriously, though, OPD doesn't have a custom avatar! Isn't that a prerequisite for the office? I can make you an animated version of the Banana King with the Egyptian headdress and worshipful French handmaidens if you want, since as President you'll be filling the roll of "Banana of the Egyyptians."

Openning Speech

Ok I'm runnig for pres and would appreciate your votes.
Some people see the president as the "boss" of the demo game but I don't see it this way at all. As someone once said the pres may be incharge but everyone is his boss. As president I would be answerable to any and every citizen.

Broad policies
I favour a continued war with persia but as I have stated previously not at the expense of infrastructure/expansion.

As president I would favour an immediate switch to 1.29 if we have not already done so?

I favour chats over threads and even if turnchats aren't possible will incorporate some kind of chat.

These are only a few broad policies feel free to question my stance on anything else or these in more detail.

So please vote for me I may not have as much experience as previous presidents but what other president can say they have been able to watch how 3 other presidents have done things.
If elected I plan on getting alot of help and advice from MWIA if he is willing.
I have the free time and I know pretty much everything thats going on and have done for sometime.

Overall ATM I do not see myself as much of a politician but I am a good civ player.

So feel free to ask any questions at all whether about the demo game about civ3 or completely off topic (if you just want to get to know me a bit more). Also feel free to PM me any queries or anything else if you don't want to post here.

I have a campaign motto

"vote OPD progress is his middle name"

And my campaign song is queen's "living on my own" not that I particularily like queen or that the song holds any significance I just think it's a cool song.

cheers
OPD

OPD needs something around 70 posts to get his custom avatar. Can we open an exception?
Btw, Ghengis, I would like to see that avatar...

I'm the better candidate cos like over the last 21 years I've eaten about 1000 bananas and no bannanannaba has ever eaten me.

Err I like the way the banana is persistent?

I care not for custom avatars but if you want to design one I'll use it if elected.

Dude less talk about "the club" remember what happened when uber found out and did all that revolution stuff untill trip paid him off.

This is only going to be a one turn thing for me as I have RL plans long term.

Wow, you don't have very a very high opinion of yourself if you don't think you'll get elected.

lol I'm trying not to be presumptuous. Every time I post I have to go back through and add the words "if elected" every few sentences.
