- The Chairman of the War Party is responsible for opening discussions on party policy, which will then be voted into the official game's polls. Note: you are not bound by party policy, it's intended as a guide for how the party will vote. You can vote however you like on the official polls, but this may be to the detriment of the War Party. The Chairman is also responsible for holding an election for the War Party Chairman, which will be held from the 1st of every month. The timetable for these elections is as follows:
- 20th every month: Open nomination thread.
- 1st every month: Open election thread based on nominations.
- 7th every month: Election closed. Majority vote is new Chairman.

- The Chairman MUST be elected from current standing members only, but the vote is open to all.

- If the Chairman is unable to perform their duties, they may nominate a stand-in.

If someone votes to the detriment to the War Party can we throw them out?

And can we get guaranteed votes from War Party members if one of us runs for office?

MrBaggins:
You're on the members list now. Welcome to the party.

H Tower:
We need some parties in this democracy game! Creates some atmosphere and debates. Always healthy.

Maq:
Good question. But if we don't allow members to "cross the floor", then it sort of makes as more dictatorish than democratic. I'd say no to that particular one. Anyone else got something to say? As for guarenteed votes, I'd think that's a gimme as we can get our policies into the game more than if peaceful ministers are elected.

Let's see if we can stop them from building a settler and get them to start building warriors. We do need at least one unit to defend our city.

Hint: always write long posts in NotePad or Word or something similar, so you won't loose it if the server screws it up (which is not all that uncommon).

Even though im in the War Party i think we should still build a second settler first, that new Austrian city will be defended by maybe 3 or 4 good units by the time we get there (with only warriors), then again it might be defended by one. Either way if we lose attacking it, their units will be stacked and on our capital (and only our capital) like flies round ****.

If, by formatting, you mean the bold, italics, alignment, etc. Then no, it will not carry over.

You can do formatting yourself with vBB/HTML tags, that won't show up in Notepad but works fine in the forums.

As IW is after support from the dancing no war hippy party () in the upcoming MoD election, I thought I'd come tell my fellow War Party members (if you didn't already know) that I'm running for the position of MoD (which currently hold until the election results).

So if you want to see the Austrians beaten at some point in the next 5000 years then be sure to vote for me!

BTW... Turambar... do you subscribe to the ICS theory of early development, or are you in favor of conquest... period?

Well I can only guess as to what the ICS theory of early development is (build cities not take them?), but I'm all for building up for war now and then attacking Austria.

But best to leave the campaigning until the Election thread is open I suppose.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

You've not heard of ICS then?

It stands for 'Infinite City Sleeze'. Its a typical TBS ploy... and had its heyday in Civ2.

It effectively exploits a 'weakness' in the design of TBS games... namely that your cities use 1+POP (basically) squares of resources. Its mathematically advantageous to just build just settlers (and enough defensive units to be viable) whilst you can (subject to space and empire size caps.)

I do agree that we should take an Austrian City, but not at the expense of as rapid an expansion that we can muster, ourselves.
