On the box art it says Tropico.

Then beneath it has "You Rule".

My question.  What does it mean?  Is it a statement of praise for the game as in "Hey Tropico, you rule man!"

Is it a statement of intent?  "Tropico, you shall rule us dude!"

Is is a statement of command for me?  "The game is Tropico.  YOU eddyatwork will run things"

Is it a statement of description?  "Tropico.  The player runs the show."

Is it something beyond even my reasoning?

Someone help me!  At least give me the game so I'll stop posting stupid things like this.

I had thought You rule means that it can also be dangerous to be at the top of the state.But in front of this sunny, green isle it must mean something very good.The 2 words give the player self-esteem and show him that every little person out there can be a great leader.  Cool

See, Eddy?  Now why can't you be more like Cram?  I think PopTop should copy Cram's post word-for-word and use it in all marketing campaigns for Tropico!

Bravo, Cram!  I think we should call you "Director Of Educated Responses"... what do you think?  Smiley

And as for you Eddy... I still haven't gotten this "strawberry fizzy" thing right!  Lord knows I've <hic> tried!  Roll Eyes Huh Cool

Senor, the secrets of the strawberry fizzy are only for the elite!   Shocked Shocked Shocked

For your own good, do not try to replicate the formula, you can only come to grief.  Even knowing the secrets of the nuclear bomb are not as dangerous as this knowledge.
