The Religious State
Having seen many opinions on this forum, I am wondering about the acceptability of a religious state. Should a state be able to be primarily Muslim, Jewish, or Christian (etc.)? Is this acceptable in the modern world? If so, how far can this theocracy of sorts go? May they make laws based upon the respective religion? How far reaching should these laws be?

Please discuss, and remain amicable.

Happy Easter everyone
On this auspicious day I would like to share with the community my belief that the resurrection of Jesus was figurative, and not literal. The "risen" Jesus is the one that won the greatest person in history tournament. Respectfully, that's what I believe. He is risen, risen indeed.

What's the difference between vdiplomacy and webdiplomacy?
I've recently been to the vdiplomacy site and it was very interesting that the interface and logo look similar to the webdiplomacy one. Are the 2 sites somehow related?

I uploaded SunZi's "Little Dipper" Android application to Aptoide
Our very own SunZi (userID=19506) once created a useful Android app Diplomacy adjudicator based on webDiplomacy code. SunZi publically published this adjudicator app ("Little Dipper") on GetJar, where it is still free to download.

For the sake of archiving SunZi's work, which our comrade gave the bare minimum of advertising (threadID=879472 & threadID=882356), I uploaded the app to Aptoide.

What to do?
What do you do when you're playing with an asshole that has the chance to draw, but refuses to do so when it is obvious that another player is going to get a solo? He's so annoying it hurts I really don't know what to do I mean it's obvious that if we continue the game will be a solo for another guy. He simply REFUSES TO DRAW

I think SecRes might need to be figured out still.
KingCyrus (511 D)
29 Mar 15 UTC
I think SecRes and SecLab can be combined. It seems like they would do the same thing. Maybe at some point we can have a Secretary of Research, but right now we only have the Alchemist, and maybe the Farmer.

KingCyrus (511 D)
29 Mar 15 UTC
True, we don't know exactly what he is teaching... Missionary, can we get a report on that?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
29 Mar 15 UTC
Would someone mind posting the links to the journal and the resource chart again? I'll bookmark them and stop asking.

I don't think the missionary has given us much of a progress update, but considering that we don't have a proper educational system in place and that we haven't regulated what he teaches basically at all, I would expect that those he has come into contact with are either put off by him or not gaining much. At this stage of things, I don't think it's wise to ask him to come into contact with the separatists unless he is protected, so it's pretty safe to say that we either have to give him some more resources or call him back and assign him elsewhere. Personally, I favor the former, but we need to talk it over.

I guess the secretary positions are filled for the time being. TrPrado, you're in charge of labor and/or resources ("and" if we're combining them). KC, you're in charge of the defenses and the Guard. I'm in charge of communicating with our loyal natives and to what degree I can the separatists. We can probably just put off formal elections until when the HC's term is up at this point.

Speaking of the HC, I think that we need to consider giving HR a break. He's clearly busy (mafia, mod, full time job as a stripper/waiter in a back-alley hideaway club), so I think we might just bring it upon ourselves to do his duties until he either returns or elections come around.

Magistrate, I would like to request that we attempt to find a few more councilors. We have had a number of untimely deaths and it appears that a significant number are suffering from some kind of unknown disease that causes muteness. We could use more input.
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
I agree with bo. Especially his last paragraph. The positions of power we have established have been created and filled with little to no voting (the only exception being the position of HC), and this leads to a system of little opposition and sealed and nearly permanent positions of power for those of us that are actually vocal.

Abge, can you give us the new month please?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

The Magistrate reminds Councilor TMoW that the Loyalists have already had their rations increased and asks him to confirm he'd like them increased again.

Tasks:
Offer prisoners clemency in exchange for fealty
Assign 4 Pearl harvesters to wheat
Have the Mason build a small jail
Have 3 Pear Havesters farm Wheat
Use rancid chicken for fishing
Deliver letter from Councilor bo to Separatist Elders.

Policies
Allow Loyal Elders to handle punishments including prison of up to 1 year (PROPOSED)
Make it illegal for colonists not loyal to the King to approach buildings marked with a banner (ENACTED)
Lower the age of the workforce to 12 (ENACTED)

Missionary: Councilors, I am currently providing the Loyal Colonists with a Basic Education. Given more resources, they could be taught more efficiently.
Agree with comments above.

Also, Magistrate, no, I dont want them increased. I just want to underline that the seperatists should be given minimal rations - not starved, but not a lot either.

Magistrate: The Separatists have already had their food supplies significantly reduced by being denied access to the docks and the granary. Shall the Captain of the Guard be ordered to take more food from them this month?

Will taking more food from them cause health problems?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

The Magistrate advises mendax that people need to eat.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
30 Mar 15 UTC
I don't believe we should take additional food from them. That would make us look tyrannical and probably increase resistance, rather than further co-operation. I agree with the previous statements that we need to be offering carrots at this point so we look like a good choice to side with.
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
People need to eat? This is indeed a shocking revelation to me. Are you saying food is necessary to survive, Magistrate?
KingCyrus (511 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
Did we ever hear back from the loyalist Council about how to entice separatists over?
mendax (321 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
We didn't take all their food though, or at least that was my understanding. My question was whether they currently had excess food.
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
The separatists are self-sufficient and have limited access to ways to gain food.
KingCyrus (511 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
As SecDef, I propose a guard be placed around the docks. I also propose some sort of defensive structure be erected at the docks.

I also am wondering if we should try a similar tact with the wheat fields.
KingCyrus (511 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
Is the mason doing anything? Also, wasn't the last month supposed to be adjudicated?
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
30 Mar 15 UTC
The mason is building a small jail. There is little to really do until the month is adjudicated.
KingCyrus (511 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
Abge.... Any day now...
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Mar 15 UTC
We could put a banner at the wheat fields maybe. We have a law to handle it from there.

Convoying Question - the roundabout
Let us suppose someone has an army in Yorkshire and a fleet in North Sea. However, the army is beset by enemies in London and Liverpool.
Our army in Yorkshire is going to be pushed out. If we assume the attack will come from London supported by Liverpool... could our army in Yorkshire, convoy through the fleet in North Sea and land again at the newly vacated London?
