Mod and Faction Choice Confirmation Poll

**Zim** · 05-09-2008, 23:53

Doh! I participated in every vote I was aware of, but I'll be handicapped since I joined in the latter half of the game. Ah well, I'm pretty used to recruitable generals.

I had a family member in the first game so I will defer to a recruitable in the second no matter what my place in the order of things.

Bwa-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

15!

Bwa-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh. . .um. . .yes.

After the test game, I'm not even sure I want a high rank.

New rules + mod I haven't played before + a huge amount of landless avatars clamoring for action + undeveloped cities and small armies = Ulcer

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the game, but I do envision some growing pains.

Also TC's (and it seems Ramses's) noblesse oblige intent of taking a recruitable general would cast my claim to the Basileus as somewhat shallow.

I think I'm missing something. Is fifteen the number of elections you participated in?

I gave up the chance to have a FM right when I joined the last game because somebody had been grooming him as a replacement avatar. Given a choice I wouldn't mind starting with one this game, but I won't be unhappy if I get a recruitable general, either.

Yeah, econ21 and myself voted in 15 elections, putting us at the head of the queue. Other lifers like TC and GH have 14.

To quote the Simpsons, "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

Should it frighten me that I recognize every single Simpsons and Futurama quote you use?

What is my mighty number? 5? 6?

I think I only have 4. Jan burned bright but fast.

I joined shortly after 1240. Voted in 1260, 1280, and 1300. We had no election in 1320. And I voted in 1340 with another avatar.

So, I have no problem taking a family member if one falls down the tree that far.

Just went through the history and realized I had a mighty total of two Diets under my belt, in 1340 and 1360. I joined after the Cataclysm begane and there was no vote in 1380.

I'll just have to crawl my way up from the bottom like everyone else.

Well, someone has to do it, and we could do far worse than having a veteran like you take the FL and use the auto-Chancellorship power on the first term. Plus, starting FLs tend to be a bit on in the age stat, so they're not around forever.
