Join the Democracy Game - Page 2

Marquis de Sodaq · January 26, 2002, 15:46

I'm in if the polls can be run for 24 hours. I can typically log on ~02:00 to 04:00 GMT and some days 14:00 to 16:00 GMT.

Marquis de Sodaq · January 29, 2002, 10:42

Adamsj, would you please use (edit) the first post in this thread to list all who are signed up? That way we have a sticky thread listing everybody - easy to find, as that will likely be useful as the game goes on.

Zealot · January 29, 2002, 12:02

Ok, I'm in! Don't forget to put the banana option in those polls!

I'm always available from 10 to 18 GMT (except from 12 to 13 GMT, because I'm having lunch

), except on the weekends, which is when I am usually away from the net.

Frank Johnson · January 29, 2002, 12:33

I would also like to play fi its not too late

Shaka Naldur · January 29, 2002, 16:50

sounds fun, but i don´t know if i understand what we have to do.

there is one guy playing (the president) and a gabinet telling him what to do

and there is the rest of the people that is neither the president not the gabinet trying to get a place in the goverment

am I right?

Vlad Antlerkov · January 29, 2002, 20:25

If it's not too late to join, I'd like to take part in this.

Free time: weekdays 10:30-12 AM GMT, 2-3 AM GMT, Sundays 12 AM-4 AM GMT.

Every citizen has the right to vote. The Cabinet members, Ministers, set up polls on some general guidelines and big decisions, so that the people can decide. Hence the name "Democracy game". I do not think we will have polls in the way of "should settler #223 in co-ordinates x 46 y 32 move south or north", but more like "should we focus our settlers on colonisation, irrigating, mining or building the road network for the next x turns?"

Methinks you just did.

jasev · January 30, 2002, 12:08

Sounds interesting. If it's not too late, I'll join it.

Shaka Naldur · January 30, 2002, 13:16

thanks kassiopeia

If i would like to join the game,

as soon as i see how it goes I will run for president

CannonFodder · January 30, 2002, 18:17

Count me in if possible. BTW, this is my first post to Apolyton, heh.

La Fayette · January 30, 2002, 19:46

I'm in, if it is civ2.
Not that I dislike civ3, but civ3 is brand new and has already a tournament at Apolyton and a GOTM at civfanatics.

That is why I wish to make 2 more announcements to civ2 lovers:
1) There is a huge succession game started by Julius Brenzaida in honour of civ2 on one of his wellknown gigamaps (4 of us are playing it now, namely smash, moi, Julius and myself, but it is open to any civ2 lover willing to play a few turns... or more than that). Look at the thread on top of civ2 general forum.
2) There are fierce battles fought on CiC scenarios, since Xin Yu decided to explode my previous records. DrFell and DrSpike also are in, but it is open to any civ2 lover. Look at the thread on top of civ2 strategy forum.

Wernazuma III · February 4, 2002, 08:18

I'm in!

MBloomIII · February 4, 2002, 10:34

I'm in!

I'd like to be the soft-money funnel as we all know they actually control the President.

Oh yeah! Polls need to be 24 hours since the trappings of a Democracy move slowly.

Dravar · February 5, 2002, 15:24

This sounds interesting. I would like to be added, if it is not too late.

Of cource it is not to late. You maybe shall nominate yourself for a post as well. We are in lack of people.

Then count me in. This is truly a whole new concept of multiplay!

Haven't played Civ2 in a while anyway, why not to at least participate in a game

mrboo123 · February 5, 2002, 18:47

Sounds fun count me in!

Note* I am new to this chat..........

Mercator · February 9, 2002, 17:43

You can count me in as the type of citizen that doesn´t like politics much, and only votes rarely.

shade · February 9, 2002, 18:15

become president:then you don't have to vote

Well, as long as this doesn´t involve my assassination, I´m honoured.

edit: You´re not from the Apolytonia Intelligence Agency, are you?

Act nice, and that can be avoided.

Nothing like the scent of fallen heads in the morning

Of course, it is not my job to upkeep The List, I would imagine it to be the Spymaster's duty. But I surely can add people to it as the Minister of City Planning...

Hey, a slight jurisdictional problem here. I just ordered the Internal Police to keep an eye on this bloke, not me aswell. Tighten your leash, General!

Unless this will be a military coup

Mercator · February 9, 2002, 19:27

I´m talking about a coup with two ministers...

Look behind you!!

*runs*

Isn't this supposed to be a democracy?

You should not need to be scared from saying anything (and as soon as we've invented writing from writing anything)

You´d better discover Code of Laws quick!

Gramphos · February 10, 2002, 05:46

I think a brain washer would be of better use for my purpose
