What do you mean. It's not like he doesn't change outfits

Oh, I didn't bother to read it. I just saw the KING MUST BE IN line in the end

So flame away

I'm joking. I read it. And I agree that these forums are very civil.

But, coming back to the topic, ELVIS MUST BE IN

If you want real entertainers then throw in Al Gore and George Bush.

Heresy !!!

Gore and Bush are clowns or buffoons, not the multi-talented movie star/actor/collectors-plate combo that is The King. You never know, he might right now be reading this post. Elvis the Apolytoner, maybe he even works for Firaxis or a KFC in Georgia, you decide which

Screw Elvis - the man's dead and his music wasn't all that great anyway.

	posted May 16, 2001 08:46

Ok, I see you are hopeless in love for Elvis
I don't think Elvis is so entertaining, but really don't care about this minor aspect. Firaxis can chose the best joke teller they have at the Team and use her/his face. May be is someone from Test and Quality assuring Civ III will be free of "not system" bugs... (just kidding).

If I can vote, I'll prefer Charlie Chaplin (Charlot) as a modern icon of an entertainer actor. His films are great, funny and with some tears for good measure. Maybe during a war it can substitute the Military advisor too (anyone remember the film where Charlot replaced Hitler? A masterpiece of acting, real piece of movies history).

Now how can HE be an entertainer?! He'd be depressed all the time depressing the populace with him

As for showmanship, you'd be hard pressed to top Pink Floyd or Rodger Waters (arena rock but bizarre). But I do think George Carlin should be the political advisor. Who's more qualified?

Elvis has stood the "Test of Time" When the Post Office started making popular stamps, what was the first one they issued? The King. What voting got more attention then even the Florida ballots and with less trouble? Elvis stamps.

And George Carlin is as funny as ever (except for that sitcom several years ago).

Ehrr, I was not speaking about advisor, I was speaking of littel pics representing specialist (scientist, taxmen, entertainer).
That little black man with the rounded hat and the stick, i.e. Charlot, will fit nicely there as an icon without age, out of a proper historical reproduction of entertainer.

IMHO Charlot is more widely know outside USA than others people you mentioned.
Elvis "the Pelvis" is well know too, but... just a matter of taste, nothing personal, you know

Chaplin is too... serious for that kind of job if you ask me

His movies... Chaplin was formost a critic of his society and then an entertainer if you ask me. Comedy was just his way of getting his (great and humanistic) messages across.

(who's Carlin?)

But if it was a Comedy play (like one of Aristophanes) you'd fall off your ancient theater sit laughing! Do you know Satyros? (in english??)

Don't know... The King just seems to fit perfectly in that job. The Elvis impersonator was really great and the concept of Elvis in that job just clicks somehow

That's nothing new. I used to have a version with Mr. T as the entertainer. Ethnically diverse and strangely entertaining at the same time. I hope that Firaxis does not change this.
