... is a fairly large, and bright red wooden box.
Beta's Campaign Promises - Twelve Commitments I Make to the People of Apolyton
As indicated in the nomination thread, it is time for some changes. The team has gotten 'soft'; we need some strong controls put in place. If elected:
1. I promise to abolish all polling in the ISDG forum. The leadership knows best. Let's squash debate before it begins.
2. I promise to stop the current practice of making the save available to all. This is utter nonsense. And it greatly increases the potential for intelligence leaks.
3. I promise to stop the regular and detailed turn reports currently produced. Time is one issue but not the important thing. There is too much information in them. Again, a security issue. As well, members read and absorb this information, then they start debating, and before you know it someone thinks they have a better way of doing things than the leadership. So, lets nip that one in the bud, shall we.
4. I promise to replace the existing information sharing with regular reports from yours truly. They will be called Apolyton Daily War Reports, or simply Apolyton Daily Reports when we are at peace. We will advise you when we are at war or peace, provided it is not seen as a security issue, in which case, it will be called the Apolyton Daily Maybe We Are, Maybe We Aren't at War, Report. I promise you that I will ensure that all Apolytonians receive the information they need about what is going on in the game.
5. I promise to faithfully uphold the constitution by ensuring regular that regular consular elections are held every month. However, only one slight modification will be made to the constitution, as follows:
A. 1.
f. Any citizen who is holding a Consul position may become a candidate.
This is a very minor amendment and was made by simply removing 9 letters. Again, as per my promise above, there will be no poll on this amendment.
(And the great news is, elections will still be held. Now, that is eminently reasonable.)
6. I promise to hold a purge of the membership. All those who are unfaithful to the team and the BAATH ONCE A MONTH PARTY will be summarily unauthorized.
(You see- this is the great benefit of having the legislative and exucutive powers centralised.)
7. I promise to include Civman2000 in that purge. His maps and information threads are a major security issue that needs to be dealt with.
(although with that one map I could not tell if that was Fanatika or Trip's kidney.)
8 I promise to do psychological testing on all team members, with the pathological liars being identified and referred to Togas for use as ambassadors.
(Enough said.  )
8. I promise to make Dominae, Fried-P, and Hot_Enamel change their avatars.
(Or is Dom's avatar BigFree's latest date?)
Now, before you think that I am all business here, and that I do not care about culture, or the arts, or the finer things of Apolyton life, I have promises there as well.
9. I promise to change our team colour from baby blue to deep red, as per the red V-banner. This is a much more stirring colour, and comes across better in artists' rendering of our troops and their leaders.
(Now, before you start squawking that there is already a red team in the game, remember dear friends that a number of people squawked when we had two red teams starting the PTWDG. And we all know what happened to the 'other' red team. Wise members out there will appreciate that this colour change is actually a strategic move on our part.)
10. I promise to replace our baby blue and white A, with a gold V on a red background. The red I explained above, the V, well that is for Victory. Our nation needs a goal, a purpose. Enough of this wallowing around in the jungle, which is all that the current leadership has done for us. Let us dream, and plan for Victory.
11. I promise to re-name all Medieval Infantry, Immortals. They are both 4-2-1, so it will not be a big change. A recent discussion I had with some of our troops indicated that they would all be in favour of such a change, and my friends at the Apolyton newspapers say that it will add 'colour' to the currently dry war reporting.
Now, that covers the team, and some window-dressing. And finally, I have one major campaign promise regarding the our strategy in this game, and a promise I know that neither notyouagain or MMZ can make, or keep.
12. I promise to immediately call off the war with GCA. We will consolidate what we have, further strengthen our armies, and set our sights on .... Gathering Storm. They must be defeated, and as your Elected Consul, I commit not only to the preceding 11 promises, but to the ulimate 12th as well.
Good evening, and remember:
A VOTE FOR BETA IS A VOTE FOR TRUTH.
