The nude beaches has been voted twice. I will have to change those to "more tourist attactions". At least you took the time to read the other posts. I had hoped everybody would. When this is completed I would truly like to start a new discussion on this. Helps to keep game fervor alive.
By the way, I would like to extend a welcome to the new people who took the time to start a profile. To know this Cafe is to love it.

Thanks Junta Joe for your wonderful list. Personally, there was only one item that I really found ridiculous.  I hope they really take some of the groups' suggestions to heart; after all, we're the people who play it all the time! Here are my votes: 1. Hotel upgrades 2. Housing for indigents 3. Post office 4. More farm types 5. More tourist attractions 6. Praise Tropican edict And the  votes: 1. Voodoo priests/zombies 2. Public transport 3. Secret Police. Kimmi |

El_Patron, read the first few posts in this thread (by Junta_Joe).
All the choices are there, as well as the rules.
Then post your votes right here in this thread.
Hope that clears up your confusion.

No offense junta, but poptop has made it fairly clear that there will not be an expansion pack in the forseeable future.
For what it is worth though, I like many of the ideas you have posted, especially in the edicts area.

I do not need commentary here. If anyone would have read the instructions, they would understand it all. As I said before, no guest voting! Mike your vote does not count.
Why does everyone think these suggestions are my ideas? Only about 5 are mine. These are the suggestions posted by all the members in all of the threads on three boards.
I am truly one inch from blowing this off completely.
Do not comment on that last statement!

As I said, there will be no write in votes counted. Everybody had plenty of time to make suggestions. I will try to find the closest thing to your vote and apply it there. Of course that means I'm voting for you. Think about that for a moment. Ones that apply to nothing are wasted. Of course if that is your plan, so be it. Well I'm sorry if you think there are too many rules. All big FIVE of them  |
