Our objectives- a proposal for a poll

[Lancer]

I've adjusted my poll questions above based on your posts. Tell me if this is how you would like the different positions phrased or if you would like it changed. I think we're limited in poll question length, I'll find out and get back.

The 50+ turn thing is a guess. Let me know Rob if your proposal cited by Chuckman needs a different number. Chuckman, your input would be helpful on this as well.

I made a poll in the OT to determing the length of a question and this worked. I assume it could get longer, but lets not. This represents a question 310 spaces long.

The poll as it stands a the moment...

As it is the poll would look like this:

1) Hit em short term with axmen. This differs from the UnOrthOdOx approach as the point would be to try to take a city or two.

2) Hit em mid term with our UU

3) Hit em long term with whatever

4) The UnOrthOdOx approach, "This becomes the harrassment stack from hell. It's job is to force PAL to guard it's workers, guard it's improvements, cities, and settlers. AND NOT TO ATTACK THE CITIES!!! Only taking targets of opportunity. (pillaging a copper, for instance)" (See his post in 'Our Objectives' thread).

5) Expand like crazy, think about hitting them again after 50+ turns.

6) War is bad for electrons and other living things, don't hit em.

Its interesting to see what people make of stuff sometimes. The link is to my poll on poll questions in the OT. Don't forget to come back and say something to improve the poll.

I would lean toward having strategic discussion threads as opposed to a poll for this type of question. Open discussions will hopefully generate varied ideas. The path we eventually choose will be a melding together of a number of those ideas.

Polls are excellent for questions like: Our next city should be A, B or C. or Which Wonders Do We Wish to Build?

Good point, but I see strategic discussion happening here and we're a democratic group. Besides, the poll at least has people talking about strategy and intention...which I haven't seen much of before. Like the stuff you were saying, good stuff.

"My thoughts on short to mid term goal is to expand to their border."

Before that, who knew your thoughts? Now we do. That's a good thing.

I like UnO plan.

Two points:

a) I would like to see defence against barbs considered in the plan.

b) The plan seems to open the door to expansion, more room to us
than to PAL and possibly war (they decide about war or peace
always to our advantage).

Best regards,

...nevermind .

One option in the poll should be:

We pledge ourselves to be PAL's humble servants, sacrificing all for the greater good of PAL.

Are you guys going to colonize that desert at all?

[Lancer]

Chuckman and Rob have stated that we should have some kind of strategic discussions. So, ok, in the interests of rabbit unity never mind about the poll. I have edited my above post about making the poll tomorrow as there will be no poll posted by me. I will wait upon the conclusions of the strategic discussions (where are they btw?) to write communication replys to other Civs, or others can write them, whatever works.
