Good to see you getting along, Cram and BiggieAl. But just out of curiosity; what exactly is derogatory or insultning about being gay? Luke 'came out' here on the board a few weeks ago allready (allthough I believe that was mostly to scare some newbie... :-/ ).  |

There's nothing wrong with a person being gay. It's just how you say it. For example, if I said: "How come you are so weak? Are you a woman?"
Now, there's nothing wrong with being a woman, but because it is said this way, we are stereotyping a "woman" as being weak.

That's your opinion. I've met women are who are strong and have a lot of sense.
Let's see, I guess your dictator profile would probably be a womanizer, and in that case, good luck with the lady rebels and other feminine figures on your Tropico island.

Actually, Al, that was a joke. See, the context states I would be so bold as to say something like that then the female rebel, who obviously is not weak, shows up and...why the heck am I having to explain this? |

Still, it would be tough running the island with womanizer as a flaw. Oh well, I guess that's the fun of being dictator.

I still don't understand why womanizing is a flaw. This is the 1950's. You are the president! It should be a bonus! Maybe a game hack is in order here.  |

Womanizer should be both a flaw and a quality.
Flaw: Women hate you
Quality: Bachelors envy you
As with the whole theme of Tropico, any attribute you choose should be able to work for you and also work against you at the same time.

You gotta be kiddin me, Dravin! Flatulence is an art! It's a way of life! It's a contact sport! (ewww) I can see there being a plus with the working class with the flaw of flatulence. No one knows how to make an annoucement like us blue collar boys. As far as womanizing...come to think of it that too is a contact sport.  |

I think flatulence is a joke (in the game), because I also can't see it working as a bonus  I may use it as a dictator flaw on one of my "test" islands, but not on the main island I plan to rule with a kind, benevolent hand Womanizer... some women actually swoon over a powerful man who treats them as sexual objects. And ladies, I DID NOT SAY ALL WOMEN, I SAID "SOME"! Flatulence as a contact sport? Okay, I can't picture it, and I don't want to!   |

This is off topic from the Flatulence thing.
Does anyone know if the General is promoted from within? (from one of the lowly soldiers), or is the General hired from abroad or outside the military circle. What about being able to restrict who does or does not become the General?

Does anyone remember the "fart-football" commercial for...well, I can't remember what it's for, but it's funny nonetheless. The farting contact sport posts above kinda inspired this memory. Basically, this old couple is in bed and the guy lets out a nice little fart. The old lady hears it and follows with her own more powerful fart. Then, the guy responds in turn, followed by an evermore lovely fart by the woman. However, the last fart was more of a "Hershey squirt." At that the woman declares that the quarter is over and it's time to switch sides... It's a classic in my book.  We now return to our regularly scheduled posts: "Cars in Tropico" |
I in no way claim to be the Messiah, he is copyrighted by the Big Guy above.

Here's how flatulence would for you in a speech:
Dear {f***} Tropicans:
I hope all of you had a {f***} good year. Overall, I had a extremely {f***} awesome year. My personal treasury has gone up by a {f***} $5 million. Also I have killed 5 {f***} bishops and assasinated 2 of my {f***} generals. Blah Blah Blah.
Signed,
El Presidente
ps. {f***} stands for {fart}

Why does every game have to have potty humor in it? The sims had it. Tropico has it. Even Conker's Bad Fur Day has it. Bleaugh.

And now there shall be cars in Tropico!And here is what CafeDave has to say about it: Ahh, the warmth, the togetherness, the camaradery. Now I know why I started this board. We are all one big wonderful support group for each other. If one member suffers, we all suffer. If one is in need, the need will be met. If someone is making a fool of himself, we will all help him. And all of this from a thread on cars in Tropico. Where else can you go for this, I ask? Where else but Cafe Tropico. Bless you all.  I'm getting all choked up. I just had to say that. Sometimes it is good to look back on these heavy questions.

For reference, I have trawled through the threads and found this, from PopTop Dave, back in January 2001.
And to end the whole taxi/bus question (to which I even saw references in other threads), gather round:
Once upon a time, the designers at PopTop thought it would be nifty to have tanks, taxis, busses, teamsters which upgraded to trucks, and oh, they did drool. They liked the idea so much, it even got mentioned long ago in an article. Time passed, and the designers and programmers decided that vehicles just weren't going to work. The mighty Sword of Design came down and lopped off all land-based vehicles. And so there are no taxis, busses, trucks, etc. in the game. The problem is a combination of the quantity of code for the animations and the coding technique for transmogrifying person units into vehicle units. If you are not a programmer, don't even think about it. The appearance of vehicles in trailers has nothing to do with the problem of what actually goes on in the game. |
