Senate Bill: Forbidding the assimilation of foreign workers

[Aggie]

This senate bill forbids the assimilation of foreign workers into our cities until all native workers have been assimilated. This poll will run for 72 hrs.

All rp aside it is silly to remove free workers until all the paid workers have rejoined out great nation.

hmm this is a quandery.. Emancipation for the Slaves or a slave only workforce? We will A:LWAYS need 5-10 workers for minor tweaking and polution control. Especially once populations reach 16+

Free the slaves, our own workers are much faster.

I agree with Aggie on this. As former DM, the assimilation of the Free Workers before the Paid ones are assimilated is just plain silly.

If we want our Economy to properly thrive, then this is the only answer.

And the newly annex cities should get Natives above all else.

RP aside, before you vote one way or another, downlead the save and LOOK at it (it won't kill you). See way we really only need the Slaves (and a few Natives) in just a few turns.

jdjdjd, you are ignoring so many factors in making this statement that it just irritates me.
Yes, workers are faster than slaves. Twice as fast in fact. However, two slaves working on the same improvement work as fast as a single worker doing the same thing, but the difference is that they don't cost us maintenance.
So to put it straight, 2 slaves = 1 native worker - upkeep cost. Slaves are better than workers, and I just don't see much room for discussion here since the facts speak for themselves.

Now let's not let RP meddle with the game!

Shiber - some people may disagree with that sentiment

*sigh*

manually add +1 to YES

Skywalker: naturally, I always represent my own opinion unless stated otherwise. I'm sorry however if I wasn't clear enough.
jdjdjd: no offense meant in the previous post, I was just somewhat irritated by your statement, which IMHO was senseless and misleading.

Ahh but this is not a discussion about whether it is RIGHT to assimilate all natives before foreigners.

No this is a _senate bill_ forcing what appears to be common sense.

Would you like a bill which states "If an attack is possible against a waring rival where all possibility results are good, then it must be attempted."? There's nothing wrong with it, except that it's stupid.

And I see this as no different. Don't turn common sense into law.

[Aggie]

The problem Epistax is this, the DM has said he wants to start integrating slaves into cities already so yes it is common sense to me and you, but some people don't see it as such.

This bill is, in essence, a vote in favor of perpetually maintaining slavery. Those voting in favor are thus, morally and ethically culpable for being pro-slavery



The beautiful thing about senate bills is that this one can always be counter-manded later on by another one.

Yes!

Having 2 slaves who cost nothing a turn is better than having 1 worker of our own nationality that costs 1 gold a turn, even though they can do things in the same amount of time.

All of those free foreign workers add up to a lot of saved gold.

Free the slaves last! When we have developed animals to clear our pollution.

Funniest post in a while.
