The only position I'm applying for is an ambassadorship. I have no dreams of political glory. Uber is doing a fine job, i have no desire to see him unseated.

Although it's probably true that i do watch too much anime, I also took a one month after school course in Japanese

Full PM-box? Change here!

German is an awesome language. I wanted to take that in High School, but they stuck we with Latin (the must useless language on the face of the earth) Instead. 3 FREAKIN' YEARS OF LATIN AND I CANT EVEN GET COLLEGE CREDIT FOR IT!!! I'm gonna take Japanese both semesters when i'm a freshman in the fall.

But back to topic. This question is for Random Entity:
What is your view on the upcoming war with America? How can you serve us better than Uber has, and what is your plan of attack? I personally dont believe in changing the SMC at a sensitive time like this. We need a stable position in the war ministry.

I only watch anime in Japanese, or dubbed in my mother language (French). I see no point watching anime dubbed in a foreign language (well, I've seen Princess Mononoke in English and German, and it made me think American dubbers suck anyways )

Same here... He should hold that position until the tension eases. Flinging the battleplans into the hands of some fresh elected hotshot (yet unknown) could end in a disaster. Suddenly an uninformed minister does a terrible mistake?
Such disasters have actually happened in real life, by the way...

I also concur. Recall what happened to Russia during World War II. Stalin Purged almost all of his officers before the war began, and when Germany started pressign into the eastern front, they got all the way to the gates of Moscow. The only thing that stopped the Nazis was tthe russian winter, which we dont have in this game, and reinforcements from Siberia. Reinforcements is something else we wont have. We need every advantage we can get in this war, and Uber's leadership and competance is among the most important.

Naturally you'd think I'd vote for someone in the DIA, because I am a member too, but war is war, and we need someone who is aggresive, someone who is understanding of it. So for the sake of the people's security and for the sake of winning a brutal war, we'd need someone who is a brutal leader. So in the best interests for the people, I will most likely be voting for UberKrux.

Sorry Entity, but unless you change party or prove yourself aggressive and war-like, my vote may not go to you.

Btw, can candidates vote?

Random Entity is not primarily here to win the election, we knew there was little chance of that happening, but he is so here to make a statement on behalf of our party, that the DIA are not opposed to this war.

We put this candidate up because we have something to say, that the DIA can fight a war just as effectively as a pro-war militarist. Even if you don't vote for the DIA for the SMC position, remember that we are a balanced party and VALUE war, but it's not the end all of our nation - in the future we will aspire to better things.

Case Eagle offers us an ideal opportunity to test both candidates' military acumen.
So Uber, Random:
1) Do you support Case Eagle?
2) Do you support a 2-stack, 2-pronged attack strategy?
3) How many archers should go in a stack?
4) Do you favor a sneak attack, or a declaration of war before moving into American territory?

1) Do you support Case Eagle?

No.

Firstly, we'd need more time to build up 2 stacks. We don't have much time. Sure a "Lightning Strike" would be great, but we can't wait until America has horsemen/swordsmen.

Secondly, Trip's plan doesnt account for rivers / geographical formations We need to stack the odds in our FAVOR, not against us.

Thirdly, it calls for the utter destruction of America, which is still in debate (although it is winning).

Fourthly, we haven't even firmly decided we're taking on America fisrt, that debate rages on, and will continue to do so until we are prepared to attack. A lot could change in the meantime.

Fifthly, this is a violation of the code of laws. and i quote, "The Military Advisor is granted the power to set up the army's strategy. He tells what troops to move where, and which battles to engage". There is no such clause under the President.

He refers to case pink not being written by the ministers, attempting to defend his plan as legitimate. Case pink was composed from several threads in which ministers were talking. the IE was considering placing "Red" and "Blue" cities. the SMC asked for barracks, then archers, and the City planner was willing to agree. The actual plan was drawn up by NYE, Sir Ralph, and myself, and OKed by all respective ministers.

There is also a clause in the City Planner's area of the code of laws, and i quote, "The City Planner is strongly recommended to accommodate all Ministers who approach him/her with their various needs".

No such clause appears in the Military Advisor's Section, or any other section for that matter.

I approve of the buildup, I approve of the Goal, but I do no approve of or condone the strategy in any respect.

2) Do you support a 2-stack, 2-pronged attack strategy?
No.

As I have stated, we need to strike as quickly as possible, and we do not have the time to build up 2 strong stacks. I believe we should attack with 1 strong one, take Washington, leave a few as garrison, and hit NY.

It's not a lightning strike, btu it will get the job done in less time.

3) How many archers should go in a stack?
6 is the Absolute Minimum.

4) Do you favor a sneak attack, or a declaration of war before moving into American territory?
Declaration of war. I see no reason to harm the reputation.

Ah, another instance where Uber shows he is not the maniac he would like us all to believe he is. There is a deep tactical mind in there somewhere...

It surprises me how many actually favor America's destruction, though...

In each of YOUR OWN VIEWS, although the public will likely ultimately decide, do each of you favor their destruction, or just a trimming?
