Nah, Populism would have me putting forwards the name "President Hitler Von Lowtax" and Takanago putting forward "Juan Alfaro" or something; and generally we'd have an hour or so in IRC with the two of us coordinating ideas and timing to boot.

Rurik posted:I just hope the RNG will favor Vargas, though at this point Ratzinger and Wizardo would be fine too. Wait... is this how populism works? Somebody mentioned Cretan populists presented so awful choices that their opponents agreed on "compromise" that was the real goal of the populists all along. Sounds like a conspiracy to me!  Throwing in another vote the the bloated Kyoon fanclub.

With over a page of bandwagoneers, is now firmly in the lead. Will he have the chutzpah to take down the dread RNG? Find out in the next episode of "Tropico: The Goony Years"

It's at times like these, when the Bandwagon not only flies off the rails but crashes into an orphanage as well, that I would bring down the Goonocracy and restore the Wiztatorship/Wizarchy if I could. But I digress. That wouldn't have made this thread as fun, would it now? Still changing my vote from Wizardo to Ratzinger, on the account that I just don't get the Kyoon joke. Quite frankly I don't think I would've found it that fun even if I did get it. And besides which, were I in this "Kyoon's" place I'm not sure I would've enjoyed having my nick bandwagoneered on the sake of a nasty(?) joke. I thought my Communist Rebellion/For the People idea with timetravellers from the Union of Rome was kinda fun (not to mention rare, since everyone seems to reference the Crete LP rather than Hohenzoller). But, y'know, whatever. The Goonocracy/Bandwagon has spoken and all that! I, however, vote Ratzinger for

Were you in Kyoon's shoes I would hope that you would be seeking professional help. Just... just read the SAclopedia entry. All will be made clear.

What is in a name? That which we call el presidente by any other name would oppress just as much. Seriously, Wiz could do his thing even if we named him El Penis Grande. Don't worry, guys.

I hope y'all people complaining about silly votes keep this in mind when we decide whether or not to hold elections.  Clearly, finicky voters cannot be trusted to decide the fate of our dear Presidente.

Countless goons have said it already, but you really need to read Kyoon's SAclopedia entry, and hang around GBS more often, because when a Kyoon thread goes up, it's magical Hell, I even check the Gas Chamber once in a while just in case I've missed one of his threads.

Naming El Presidente after any goon seems a bit off. I am, however, half-tempted to switch to SlothfulCobra's suggestion.

Rurik posted:I know I called Ratzinger and Wizardo bad gimmicks. But this is even worse. You realize Vargas is a dumb gimmick too, right? Getúlio Vargas was the real-life dictator of Brazil. People are just voting for him because of an error in one of the Paradox WW2 games (I forget which one), in which he is incorrectly listed as a communist. Given the choice between three dumb unfunny gimmicks and a dumb funny gimmick (Kyoon), I know which one I'll vote for. Alternatively, people could stop caring so much about something entirely meaningless.

The dictator in the LP of Tropico 3 was named Voodoo Pizzaman. Voodoo Pizzaman. And his in-game avatar was a dead ringer for Baron Samedi, of Live and Let Die/actual Vodun fame. He comes with the game. He was selected out of a large group of actual dictators and a small number of original characters who are all pre-built for you in character selection. Other original characters include "Gabriel," who is a Russian operative with a fake mustache, a female gangster from Las Vegas, and "El Pollo Diablo." All of these characters make a return in Tropico 4. If you (collective you) think you need to take Tropico seriously, you're doing it wrong.

This is the first time I actually notice how bandwagons are a thing in these LPs. AzeriEU had tolerance, AzeriVicky "Our Jews". And now this even before Tropico LP even began. Sure it's fun when everyone's excited about something I find funny. But my inner manchild is irritated when I find it unfunny.
