Shall we allow everyone to see the save?

MrWhereItsAt · March 4, 2003, 17:08

There is a discussion thread on this topic, which has come up before in the Civ2 Democracy Game's history. At present, you have to be a Minister to get and view the savegame. The issue has come up again whether to allow all who want to view the save here.

What do you think?

5 day poll, as it would be quite a fundamental change to how we do things.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

mrboo123 · March 4, 2003, 17:48

I'll hav to agree with Hydey with this one.

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to have to go with keeping it in the government.

Ben Kenobi · March 4, 2003, 20:41

Fears the masses rioting outside the capitol.

Now look what you've done.

Keep the save to those who can use the save properly.

... roughly translated means: let's not show too many people how badly the game is being played ...

No... sometimes I fear in the CtPDG someone is peeking at the map. I commend you for keeping it in the government, it's the only safe way.

War4ever · March 5, 2003, 16:43

show me the map

MrWhereItsAt · March 5, 2003, 17:33

Shite. Never mind - if you have enough ministers now you don't need to attract any others, do you?

atawa · March 5, 2003, 18:05

Foriegn Affaris Minister: (Empty)
Historian: (Empty)

also, the Imperial Expansion Minister has been vacant several terms as well, so we do have open spots.

MrWhereItsAt · March 5, 2003, 19:28

So you DO want to increase interest in the game!

This would be a good way of doing so. One or two of us have said that seeing the save would help. Me certainly, and War4ever I believe.

Ben Kenobi · March 5, 2003, 19:39

*sigh*

I already posted along these lines in the other thread.

Whoever wants the foreign affairs ministry is welcome to take the position.

Hydey · March 5, 2003, 20:06

Anyone wanting to see the save is welcome to become a minister and then you will recieve the save.

/me repeats the sigh, and wanders off to think about it - bereft of first hand knowledge.

mrboo123 · March 6, 2003, 08:02

its ok to give the AFTER the game, to impove our nation after we send our space ships in space.

Ben Kenobi · March 6, 2003, 15:37

MWIA:

None of the first-time ministers really know what is going on until we get the save.

So don't worry about having to catch up.

We won't hold your unfamiliarity against you.

well, i guess this poll won't pass

I know - I don't understand either.

You want me to volunteer for a Government position back in the Demo game I started in and not even have to worry about elections? Hell yes! But not without being able to see what I'm in for by doing so.

/me goes back to lurking

oedipus · March 7, 2003, 07:13

Well ,we do distribute the save games at the demo game's at CFC ,and we never had a problem yet with anyone playing forward or any of these things.
So i would say ,why not?
