    Legos the Wise Rises to Power!

    Legopolis, the birth of civilization

    Following generations of nomadic wandering, Legos the Wise has boldly stepped forth to lead the peoples of Legoland into a new and brighter future.

    "No more shall we wander these rolling hills and arid steppe; it is time for us to seek our greater destiny, to build an empire! And the only way to build an empire is brick by brick!" proclaimed Legos in a speech to the tribal elders. And, to lay the first brick for the future of his people, Legos has established the glorious villiage of Legopolis, which shall be a shining gem of civilization in the world for centuries to come.

    With the ceremonial hammer held high, Legos the Wise decreed that "the people of Legoland have come, and that soon word of our glorious accomplishments shall be known around the world!"

    First Government Established!

    Legopolis, the birth of civilization

    To help manage the day to day affairs of our lands, Legos the Wise has set forth a new constitution to guide us, with a new government at the head. The following is the preamble to the document, as spoken by our glorious leader:

    We the people of Legoland seek to better the world around them through the development of our lands and the growth of our sciences. We are a peaceful people, but not a passive one. Our lands will be defended at any cost, and our troops are willing and able to march forth against any enemy that deigns to threaten us. The world can be a better place, and it is our job to make it so.

    Under these laws, our first President has been appointed: Jack_www. With his trusted Vice President Vondrack to assist him, we at the Daily Blueprint are more than confident he can help lead us to great things!

    Furthermore, a cabinent of ministers has also been elected to guide us. Spiffor the Enlightened will help our sages divine the secrets of the world, and manage our currencies. Redstar1, our Military Architect, will guard our borders from all who may threaten us. Foreign Minister Vondrack shall oversee all contacts made with the other peoples of the world. And, very soon, a Master Builder shall be selected to guide our laborers and sculpt our cities.

    Let us all give our loyalty to our newly elected leaders, and may their reigns be great!

    edit: removed referrences to our riverside location
    edit: removed reference to dates.
    edit: added constitution preamble.
    edit: Changed the Minister listings as MB is still undecided.

    This is what I was thinking for our public press releases. What do you all think?

      Looks great, ZargonX but maybe before releasing it we should wait to replace the "???" Master Builder

        I was thinking that maybe you should add some words from the Preamble of our Constitution. You know, that "we are peaceful people ... ".

          In the interests of diplomacy, you should not announce that you are peaceful... it suggests that you beleive others are not

            Everybody know it already, anyway. It is obvious, so why shouldn't we parade with it? This is our ace: that we are peaceful and interested in trade and diplomacy. The better the others know this, the better for us!

              Just a nit-picky comment: shall we let others know we have built Legopolis on the fertile banks of a river? I guess this is an information of strategic importance... What I'd give for knowing at least vaguely what kind of spots the others settled on... Disclosing this information may increase the chances of someone else rushing our empire (to prevent us from fully using the potential of our starting spot). I would suggest the following rewording:

              Legos has established the glorious village of Legopolis, which shall be a shining gem of civilization in the world for centuries to come.

              With the ceremonial hammer held high, Legos the Wise decreed that "the people of Legoland have come, and soon word of our glorious accomplishments shall be known around the world!"


              As the preamble is more a declaration of our determination and courage (just read it! ), I would not be scared to put it in, if Zargon finds a way how to do it seamlessly...

                Excellent work ZargonX !
                I wholeheartedly agree with Vondrack, we shouldn't disclose any info on our starting position, as tiny as it may be. I also think we could put the introduction of the constitution in the press release, which could be for example the inaugural speech of Legopolis by Legos the Wise.

                  Ok, took out the river comments. I'll try to work in the preamble to our constitution shortly.

                  Thanks for the feedback!

                    Nice work.

                    Why put in dates (4000 BC)? Let them wonder if we had to move our settler.

                      Yes, you could say: Legopolis, in the dawn of the time or ...in the dawn of history

                        Right, removed all date refferences and added the preamble to the const.

                              Ok, posted the 1st edition in the public forum. Made on additional edit, changing it to a "mysterious Master Builder;" they don't need to know we haven't finished the vote yet. Or, they may also think we have some super city-genius who will guide us for the entire game. Let 'em think what they want
