Civilization-like: Project Completion Time for Govt Projects

I noticed how Civ-like are some government projects. the years it takes for them to assemble the necessary assets to bring them into fruition.

In the Philippines there are a lot of laws that try to prevent corruption, I do note that in my Game Theory lessons, more complicated laws don't actually help in making things more above-board, its actually transparency, in the case of government and accountability, that does.

Anyway any government project here in the phils will take about 5 years or more when it involves buying land. It also has severe obstacles regarding the relocation laws, since there is a stupid law that incentivises squatters to settle on gov. land to get free land which they can sell, and start the cycle a new.

One severe limitation for any gov't project is the amount of manpower in pulling it off. Since there are severe Trust issues, and the corrupt who have a lot to profit can easily derail any project, if there is not enough man power to make sure every step and action taken is above-board and legally sound.

Democracy means having every step questioned, which in turn makes every step much more expensive in either Time or Cost. So I think, in this case, every move should be done must have goals of shoring up Capital for future moves, and Political Capital as well.

Interestingly, Going after a Powerful Tax evader is a Cash bonus, and Political Capital. People are willing to pay taxes to a government who can make the elite tax evaders pay really badly.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
