If I am indeed running for Vice President, then I'd like to see someone from DIA run for Imperial Expansion. If Thud isn't going to run for re-election for Minister of Science, I'd also like to see someone from DIA attempt to succeed him in that post.

We should at least have people on the ballot to maintain our honor

[Arnelos]

Ok, Apocalypse just decided to run for Minister of Science in the event that no-one (I assume he means other than Duddha) decides to run for the post. That leaves the door open for any of you that want to still run (or for Thud to re-appear from obscurity to run for re-election), but means Apocalypse might cover the gap if no-one else runs.

doors are open for which position?

u all know hawks are interested in war with the french again... This is gonna be problematic for our own goals as DIA, since we want to go republic and trigger GA shortly after american war. This should be addressed before election so we can plan abnout it

[Arnelos]

Calc II,

As I stated in one of my posts, I think the key argument against going to war with France very soon is that our treaty with them was just re-negotiated during the turnchat we just held... this means it will be at least three more turnchats before the treaty even comes up for re-negotiation again. In general, it would be bad to declare war on the French and violate a standing peace treaty in order to do so, especially if we're in Republic.

Within that time, it's quite likely that we will switch to Republic. Once in Republic, going to war with anyone by starting the war ourselves means we need to make the war quick.

The other reason to argue against a war with France is that the Hawks, in their own discussion thread on the topic, have been arguing about how it's not a good idea if all we can throw at them are knights. The growing consensus is that we should wait for Cavalry before attacking the French, which is quite a ways off - and long enough to have the period of peaceful development so desired by those of us in the DIA.

knights will work against France, America, and Persia. It's Germany and Rome we don't want to fight with knights.

We'll have to devise a quick system of wars to eliminate them before they can amass allies. shouldn't be too hard.

Its quotes like this from the Neo-Nazi, unltra-conservative, right wing that has caused me to join the DIA.

And if you weren't so busy filling the threads with such nonsense as this post, you would see that the DIA has been very influential, and was the reason the first war with France ever came to be and succeeded. (Remember, Ninot was DIA before he jumpled ship and went independent....interestingly enough the same ship he hopes to get a ride back to the palace on.)

And don't think we forgot that you claimed to be independent when you ran for VP, only now to take out your SS Uniform, and goose-step down Main Street, Termina.

Oh, of course, I'm just roleplaying you Imperialist Pig.

Large talk from a skirt wearing peacenick who once founded STOP. Let us get one thing straight, never at one point during my campaign did I claim to be independant, and at no point have I denied the fact that I was a Hawk. I specifically ran for VP, though, as that positions makes no decisions to effect the game itself, it only carries out the ministers order when the game is played. I ran the office with a strict hand, and one that organized a floundering nation to bring it into order.

I suspect that you spent a few days too long wandering the jungle eating Fruit Bats and enjoying the company of your Monkey's, that would explain the obvious lack of memory and addled thought processes that are apparent with your every word. If you would care to look back into our past you would see it was I who brought about the war on France. Taking command for the injured MrWhereitsat, I immediately declared war on France and sacked Paris. Here, for your convenience, oh confused one:

Perhaps you should go back to wearing these silly things and opposing politics. Or shall we run you from town again? At least that way we could get an entertaining letter now and again.

And, yes, this is roleplaying for the logically challenged.

I meant to say American War with respect to Ninot.

Now thats not fair, you know I have a soft spot for those hats....

And lets not forget, who was it that saved you from the damned French, and also who dragged that lousy underground paper with no name of yours out of obscurity and into national prominence?!

Now stop cluttering DIA threads with such nonsensical right winged rhetoric.



Once again, that was role play, of course everyone knows the Jungle Gazette was never an underground newspaper.

Now back to serious matters. Sorry for cluttering this thread with anti-Hawk sentiments.

Our most important issue currently must be opposition to any wars with France in the future.

The war wth America is a given, if just to keep Boston and NY out of Aztec hands. But fater that there are many possible things to do:

Build more cathedrals, markets, harbors.
Build a new Palace and a FP.
Build up and finish colonizing Uber Isle
Explore and find the 'los' civs before anyone else.

All of these projects wil give us greater returns for our energy than a war with France and preparations for one. We must make sure to push this point and nip in the bud this war with france talk.

[Inverse Icarus]

A war with France may give us another great leader, which could be used to rush a palace / fp

jdjdjd,

I just had to dig up those awesome old hats. As far as cluttering DIA threads, I for one actually WANT to hear different opinions, most of the time I am just trying to keep the thread on page one long enough for someone to speak up.

Arnelos, good luck organizing the DIA. Look over here:

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62450

and post your opinions on how to organize debates between parties. It can be done with all the party rhetoric and fun as jdjdjd and I just demonstrated.

It could be that, sure!

EDIT: The great irony to this is that it makes realpolitic the first person to officially join the DIA since Calc II and myself

I know that thread is there

I've just been letting it run its course for now... I figure someone like me can get more involved once you all have the rules all worked out and do your fun little banana peels demonstration to work out any last problems

[jdjdjd]

Welcome realpolitic.

Un, I know your a reporter at heart and want to hear all sides. And thats why you want this debate forum, which I'm sure the DIA can have thoughtful participation in.

Of course that would be left to party leadership, but I am offering to the leadership my services in presenting DIA positions.
