  • SENATE BILL: Save Na'rmer for a Wonder of the World

    PURPOSE: To make a Senate decision on the use of our Great Leader, Na'rmer

    The Senate hereby decides that our current Great Leader, Na'rmer, should be fortified in the city of Apolyton and saved there until such time as he can be used to build a wonder of the world. The Senate will decide what wonder will be built and where it will be built (or delegate such decisions to ministers of its choice) through the passage of later senate bills.

    This poll will last 72 hours, as required by the NewCon.

    Options:

    1. Yea
    2. Nay
    3. Abstain

    All citizens of Apolytonia have the right to vote in this poll.
    40
    Yea
    70.00%
    28
    Nay
    30.00%
    12
    Abstain
    0.00%
    0

    The poll is expired.

    Technically, because later bills trump earlier ones, it's even possible that Na'rmer can be saved but not for a wonder of the world if this passes.

    Really all this bill does is allow for Na'rmer to be kept around as long as it takes the Senate to make up its mind... which in turn allows the administration to keep holding turnchats w/o having to sit around waiting on the Senate to do something with Na'rmer.

    Since it seems many of us want to save Na'rmer for a later time ANYHOW, we probably wouldn't mind if the administration was moving the game forward while we were debating it.

      You realize saving him means no chance for GLs until you use him, right?
      "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." -- Abraham Lincoln

        Yes, we do.

        Go read the previous thread to see why we now only don't mind, but actually think this isn't such a bad idea given recent history with GL's

            Right on Arnelos, I support this. I say the the UN is the most important wonder to control. Save it for that.

              Oh boy, here we go. Now that Arnelos is a Senator, I forsee many new Senate Bills...

              I agree with this one - no more GLs for awhile please - I'd like to enjoy the game rather than waiting weeks on end for progress.

                As ridiculous as it seems to hold onto a GL, it is probably the best answer.

                  This is a good solution, with hoover we can outbuild anybody and perhaps our great gL can be held for insurance against Un victory by the AI. In short no outcome for any other option can overcome the short comings of the comp building the UN.

                    I believe this is a good resolution. Delaying the game due to a Great Leader is no longer acceptable (IMHO). I vote yes.

                    There are those who will say: "But we can't get another GL because we're saving Na'armer!"

                    To that I would say: "What difference does it make? We have Na'armer to use when we need to, why would we need another one again?"

                    Good idea Arnelos.

                    I also agree with Dejon: Now that Arnelos is only a Senator, we can expect Bills aplenty!

                      FYI: It wasn't my idea, I just made the bill

                      It was roadcage's idea:

                      It is many turns away, and since we really don't need any more GL's, this would ensure that we would not be cursed with another for a long time.

                          I'd sugest that Na'rmer be used to rush Wall Street now.

                          This would allow us to get additional leaders.
