I suppose if we were doing econ21's deathstack specials at the time, it would have been more interesting.

It amused me as Chancellor to see that big black and gold blob out in the middle of nowhere. However it was a massive money pit that really only benefited one avatar.
What's also funny is that most people could care less at the time. They only voted for it for political reasons. I remember Conrad telling the Crusaders to vote for it so the Franconians would vote for the 3rd Crusade.

Voting to spend taxpayer money on something you could care less about so you can get some votes on your own waste of taxpayer money...

Sometimes I would get scared at how much we would act like real politicians...
