Code Name: VODKA

Is there 40 gold in the budget next turn to implement a covert operation?

Code Name: VODKA

[Arnelos]

On the off chance that you're actually serious and this isn't just some fun roleplay:

I hate to burst your bubblewrap, but this *is* a democracy game... there should be no code names, no secret projects, nothing of the sort... the reason is simple: the AI can't spy on our discussions, thus it doesn't matter if don't keep anything secret, therefore (since this is a democracy) we ,as a rule, should keep *nothing* secret If this isn't already in the CoL, it sure as hell should be...

So... if 40 gold are going to be spent on anything, obviously it has to be publicly disclosed in the orders.

In case this is just roleplay, sorry for getting on your case and blame my reaction on my complete lack of sleep from last evening

Okay, Vodka was a lame idea and we won't do it. No skin off my nose.

THIS comming from a DIA member?!?! A party that sees fit to keep nearly every decision of their party a secret? A party that has gone so far as to create a SEPERATE FORUM for the SECRET discussion of DIA policy? What exactly is this party hiding that they must leave our homeland to discuss? And with whom are they meeting outside our borders?

Is it that they truly want peace, or is Otto funding their party?

Incidentally, if you wanted to join our Yahoo! group, you probably could. not that it matters. I really created it for the purpose of polling for some stuff I didn't want to spam these forums with. We haven't even used them.

Here: I publicly apologize for shrouding our progressive party in secrecy. It is our intention to cooperate in an open manner with the government and people of Apolytonia. The people of Apolytonia may of course have a say in DIA matters.

Besides, secrecy is just more fun then disclosing information. CFO's must have a blast

Dammit Ghengis, you know we all want to know what something called "VODKA", which costs only 40 gold, and has the "I'm not gonna share with you ignorants" attitude. We're sorry. Tell us. Please.

Everyone killed the idea without even asking me what it was.

I guess with all my crackpot ideas, anything I suggest is just assumed to be a stupid idea so its probably better it got killed before I explained.

I'll bet money whatever it was... it was involving Russia... and possibly espionage...or trade.

You will note that the specific DIA member which brought up this complaint is the same DIA member who complained in the DIA thread about the existence of an external site for DIA issues and has thusfar refused to participate in said off-site discussion.

Thank You.

Some things MUST be done in secret or at least hidden from daily viewing by the populace.

Examples:
Making Sausage
Diplomatic working sessions

[OPD]

During the next chat defence spending will be increased by 40l for one turn.

[GodKing]

Vodka - GF is this what you pm'ed me about? If so, I think it is feasable. However, I will look into it later tonight and get back to you. If feasable, I think I will place it in my orders and ask for the funds.

Thanks. GK

It is not that difficult to piece together what this is for guys. I say go for it.

(needing clues? Vodka...Ghengis's two jobs in Govt...)

[Thud]

Hmm.... If I was in the loop I would probably raise hell. Then, I would be assasinated. So I'll wait, and see if 40l is worth raising hell about at the next turnchat.
