Well, I just sent a PM to the Chairman explaining this. I'm glad we have (hopefully) avoided a major incident here and can continue to be able to enjoy this.

[Timbba]

Is this *still* a signup thread? =)

And, if it is, can I join the University? Whee!

[Frankychan]

Yes it still is

Glad to see another person aboard!

[Drogue]

Likewise about the enjoyment. Fun is the most important thing

[Micha]

Think about the following:
What if Tass doesn´t reveal YOUR information, but OURS???
It´s the same thing. We just have to trust him about this. And if he doesn´t want to kill fun, he wouldn´t give advices that are based upon his knowledge where the UoP is located. For all the other things, our decisions don´t depend on your intelligence.
We decided what techs to go after long before, may you research the same or not.

The Hive doesn´t need to react to your faction´s decisions.
THE HIVE IS THE MOTOR OF THIS WORLD!

[Timbba]

Hmm... where can I find more information about the democracy game? The FAQ didn't tell much...

[Drogue]

Timbba: Basically it's a PBEM, but instead of one person, there are teams playing each faction, that you can join.

Ask away for more info

[Frankychan]

what would you like to know?

[Timbba]

Does every player get a city in the team's faction to command, or what's the role of different players in a team?
How is a new player... umm... integrated into the game when it's already in progress?
And can I play with plain AC without Crossfire?

[Frankychan]

OK,

You take on the role of a citizen within the faction. Each faction has their own way of handling internal affairs such as this. Usually when important events are happening, your faction will have a thread to discuss it. You can have one person manage one city or your whole faction can determine the whole fate of your cities. Each one has different positions within the government that need to be filled, each role is different so I suggest you go into your private forum (click on 'private forum' next to your faction at the top of this page) and once your in there, make a new thread asking for help.

Your fellow citizens should help you out and answer your specific questions.

[Timbba]

Still "awaiting authorization" so can't get to the forum =).

[Drogue]

Which faction? The game has only just started (one or two turns played) so it won't be a problem integrating.

In the CyCon, we all discuss and decide on everything, then the Prime Function (myself ATM) plays the turn, when it comes round to our go.

[Hercules]

And yes you can play with plain AC but you will not be able to open the game from the download. However the discussion and forums will give you a major insight as to what is happening. Also several of the factions, if not all, have someone capable of reproducing screenshots of current play.

[Frankychan]

ok, you probably want to contact someone from the same faction as the one you want to join. I see that you have chosen the Unversity (the Planet University of Technology) so find someone with the same symbol next to their name and click on the 'send private message' icon on the top of their posts... it is the third icon...the one with two ppl next to an envelope.

You'll be taken to a new screen where you will have to enter in the subject of the private message (here, you can just label it 'I wanna join the University', or something) and just tell the person that you want in. They should then contact the person in charge. I think the person in charge of the University is Dean Archaic. (we are sort of roleplaying the parts here )

You'll probably have to wait for confirmation. I don't know how long it's going to take for University members.
