How long will an office-term take???

ok up until now we haven't really put down how long a term will be??(ie how long before we have new elections)

As I see it there are 2 options
->1) the period of time will be in REAL TIME( eg 1 month)
->2)the period of time will be in game turns( eg 30 turns)

Personally I suggest ussing Real time,why?Simple,If you are ellected you are in charge for(eg) 1 month,begin of the game end of the game doesn't matter.It also makes it easy for ellections (eg always the first day of the month).
On the other hand this will also mean that someone elected in the beginning will play maybe 70 turns and someone at the end will only play 25(this caused by the different amount of stuff there is to do,in the beginning you only have comand over a dozen units and 5->10 cities while at the end we could be talking about a few hundred units and 60->100 cities).
If we would go for the turnbased option remember that in the beginning ellections might occur once a week and at the end only once every 2 months.
(this is just my opinion,now go and make your choice

)

if we are organised making charges every two weeks would be funnier and will make the game more interesting

but we also need to be more people, just a few are posting here regularly

Somehow I have the impression I missed something...

Might ber time for a 24 hours 2 options poll now, as we only are 3 tuns away from 20 turns.

we should make a 24hr poll with the two winner options

that poll is already on,luckily I gave 48h time so now you still have 24 h

-->looks like it will be 1 month.

1 month only has 36 % of the vote

there is an other poll with only 2 options : 1month and 20 turns because we had a tie here=> there it was 80% for 1 month(last time I took a look)
