I like the sound of that. Great Meshelician Ocean Has a nice ring to it, eh?

Thank you for changing the build in NY E_T. Sorry if I was too harsh there, but I was becoming exceeding frustrated with the situation.

You should look at it from my point of view.

Thank you again. I was begining to believe you thought of me as just a grunt.

No, I don't think that, but I do have to look at everything, everywhere.

And since we cannot forsee the circumstances, I would choose to not use "Q's" since they only cause controversy and the next build item can be discussed without someone feeling like the descision has already been made.

The Queue's actually make things easier on me. Yes, as circumstances change, we might have to change some things. But I can also look at everything and quickly decide to make whatever changes are needed, depending on the overall picture.

Say, Germany decides to invade, through Nepoloton. I would change the surrounding cities to reflect what was needed. But at the same time, Cities that were far away would only have minor changes or none at all, depending on the severity of the invasion and our readyness to meet it.

Another thing about the Queue's, they allow anyone to see what the overall plan is. If they are concerned with our Military readiness, they can see what planned Mil Units are in the works. If they want more workers, to help clear the Jungle, they see that we are addressing that issue. If they feel that we need more Science, then they can look and find Libraries and maybe Universities planned and when they would come up for build. The same with cash flow & Marketplaces/Banks. Even though these things aren't being built now and could be Many turns away, they feel that we are GOING someplace. It's kind of Pyschological and really a good thing when dealing with a large, diverse crowd of people. The only difference between a Thoughtful Democracy and Mob Rule is the amount of Information that is readily available.
