Official Poll on the Palace move decision

[Shiber]

There was, for about a week.

[Randolph]

humm.. Alright I stand corrected. I'm not sure how I missed that (it would have been of interest to me), I'll blame it on the PtW game distracting me .

There is NOT a single Frenchmen in Macross City, the Great Banana HAS prevailed over them. I beleave that he killed them off in the last wave of Jungle fever that washed through Macross City. What further proof do you need that it is HIS WILL for us to move our glorious Palace to that City.

Aha! So you would have us build our capital in a city of plagues? A city smited by the Great Banana?

(Honestly, I really don't care where it goes but building the Palace would take either city our of the production and contribution picture for a while)

[Harovan]

Macross City, of course. It has always been a far better choice. I've seen that long ago. And Arnelos, kudos to your patriotism and the whole role playing stuff (for people who like it, that is), but I think we go farther with cold pragmatism.

[joncnunn]

Marcoss City. It's the best location right now.

And if we are considering annexing Greece, we certinately need the Palace in a place like Marcoss City.

If it turns out we can build an Iron Works, that would be an even better city, except I think our GA will end before the Iron Works could even start construction.

But why then would he have not smited the French that were their, if He didn't see that as the new place to build a New Palace in his Glory? The Banana moves in mysterious ways.

There ARE Frenchmen in Macross City... the whole city is ethnically French!

You see, just because these ethnic Frenchmen have been assimilated into Apolytonian society and now worship the Great Banana does not mean that they suddenly have stopped being the descendants of the Frenchmen conquered in the SAME CITY by our glorious military forces, the military forces loyal to APOLYTON. This French city has not suddenly become the traditional home of Apolytonia... the history of our people has not changed. We are not from Macross City.

APOLYTON is still the home of our empire, the place from which our first ancestors started in the jungles of this world and discoverd bananas. Given the presence of the g0dZ and the Great Banana, APOLYTON is the center of the universe (figurately speaking), the centre of the MIDDLE KINGDOM ... all enlightenment flows forth from APOLYTON and APOLYTON is the seat of Apolytonian power!

No greater symmetry of spirtual enlightenment and civic enlightenment could possibly exist!

Keep the seat of Apolytonian power in APOLYTON!

Moving it to Timeline won't help us with corruption. Without numbers to the contrary, I doubt that moving it to far off Marcross City will help eigther. We probably aren't going to fight wars that would cause us to want to move for a while. Let's keep it where it is, and when we do fight alot, decide if we're going Communist, then base our decision on that.

Did Alexander's father go back to Macadoenia after conquering Greece? No, he relocated into Greece.

Did the Duke of Normady keep the center of his kingdom in Normady after he conquered England?

No, he moved it to London.

Did Ghehis Khan go back to Mongolia after conquering China? No we held court in Bejing.

Relocating our Palace into French territory follows the precedence of other commanders in history.

More recently, after West Germany culterlly assimilated Eastern Germany into a united Germany, did they keep their capital in Munich? No, they moved it to Berlin. (Which is surrounded by East Germany.)

And Alexander styled himself a Greek.

No, he moved it to London.

And he became "King of England" and styled himself an Englishman.

And, like them, you suggest that we should style ourselves as the rulers of the French Empire and ourselves as Frenchmen.

This is a stupid example... they were all Germans and BERLIN was the traditional capital of GERMANY... MACROSS CITY is NOT, whatever it may be, the traditional capital of Apolytonia!

Here are the latest statistics, in the Construction Shack - 940AD (and beyond) Corruption & Waste Statistics Report. Take a look at them.

Personally, unless an option gets close to 50% of the votes I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any of the actions.

[joncnunn]

Currently my relative rankings are:

Marcoss City, which only became my choice when it was apprent how close we are to being able to research communism with the AI having finished the Middle Ages and the Germans & Greece having been gifted Nationalism.

A very close second is Wait on the Move until we buy or reserach Steam Power and know where the Coal is.

I'd only give Here it Is serious consideration if it turns out the Iron Works can be built there.

Timeline is a complete waste of time.

If no individual city gets 50% of the vote, I'd sugest that the wait option be taken by default.

[E_T]

well but the current poll stats, HII is out of the running with only 1 vote for it, abstain has more. We can consider this vote to be for waiting on the build for now or abstaining. Only Thirty people have voted on this issue.

[Randolph]

I think that without a 50% majority our previous plans should continue until a more decisive popular statement has been made.
Note: I voted for and support Macross, so I'm not saying this to get my way.
