Oh no, let the votes fall where they may. I just love the idea of a tax plan that has the highest bracket for anyone who receives fish.

Remember, the more complexity, the more opportunities for Draignean to fuck with our expectations!

I hate money, and love fish. If we increase the fish tax, there will be more fish for me.

We need a comprehensive tax plan so I propose separating out our population into five evenly spaced income brackets starting at 50,000 a year and ending at fish. Each bracket should be taxed at a higher rate than the previous bracket ensuring that the people earning the least receive less of the tax burden and people earning fish receive more. Industries should be taxed heavily, with high punitive taxes for negative environmental impacts but generous tax breaks for assisting in war efforts. The industries that attach tech to sticks shall be well rewarded. Ideally the tax code should be so labyrinthine and complex that being in violation of them is unavoidable. This will enable us to make up any deficits by issuing fines when we need to. Additionally unhealthy addictive substances should be taxed as a measure to discourage their use. These substances include but are not limited to; alcohol, nicotine, opioids and water. There should however be no tax on sales. This will help encourage the economy. Tax breaks will be offered to people signed up for military service and their families.

Tax Results
Wow! Your tax plan is fantastic! It is as comprehensive as you expect. Fish are found to be very bad to have. This is fine. A fish always has a fish. Fish are the highest taxed individuals on your side. High taxes force fish to become slaves. They give up ownership of themselves to evade the tax. Your slave fish resources are very big!

Rich people do not want to own slave fish. It makes them poor to be taxed for owning fish. The rich do not want to be poor. Only the poorest use slave fish. The tax breaks for being the poorest allow them to own fish slaves. Your weakest soldiers will use fish slaves in battle! They are excited to battle with their new friends. Fish slaves have no hands and cannot use sticks. Sad. Fish slaves can be put on sticks by their owners. Great!

The people who are not fish and are not the poorest people are made happier by good taxes.

It is Now the Battle Phase
What are you going to battle over?

Clearly we must invade the south-eastern north-west marches and take them back from our unspecified foes.

[Man of Paper]

Lol fish sticks

[Doomblade187]

Sensible

We will attach sticks to our ornithopters and use them to assist in capturing the enemy Outpost in the bog. The sticks are used to carry our slave fish armies.

[NUKE9.13]

We must strike where our enemy least expects it:
Our own base!!

Nay , let us attack their supply of chips to enhance our fish and fish sticks with.

Yes! We need to secure chip supplies from the enemy! Our fish sticks can only be made more powerful by the presence of chips!

How dare you not agree with me. I've read Sun Tzu, you know.

I am officially hiring myself as the team's Strategist.

That means only my vote counts in the strategy phase.

[Doomblade187]

 I expect your vote will carry little weight, in that case.

I have also read Sun Tzu.

[milo christiansen]

I too, have read Sun Tzu, and came to the conclusion that it should be titled: "Strategic Common Sense Overwrought: The Book."

Changing my vote, because I want to see what happens.

The Chip Factory

We desire the enemy's chips, but why acquire the stock when we can acquire the production? The assumed chip production machinery will prove useful to our cause.
