Attention all citizens! (must read)

A message from the President

In order to bring some organization to the game, we will need to follow calendar days. If the ministerial polls do not close on the same day, it is hard to judge when to actually play the game. Thus, I propose a time schedule. (The initial polling is excepted, as it is already underway.)

Day 1: President plays according to the last completed polling session. He then informs ministers of the game status, so that they can strategize and prepare the next polls.

Day 2: President posts current game information for the citizenry. Ministers post new polls, if needed, and the citizenry votes.

Day 3: Polls close (open 24hrs), and the cycle ends.

This way, the game can run smoothly. Also, the citizens will have an idea of when to expect that their participation is needed. If you have any comments, please post!

Well, sounds ok to me. But we should have polls open for 48 hs...

Later in game polls might be open longer, but at start I think 24 hours is enough.

An addition:

Once a poll closes, the minister who runs the poll should send the president a pm with his orders.

The 24hr or 48hr polling is open to discussion. Perhaps I should poll everybody about it...

[Gramphos]

Well, I like to keep my Science Polls 24 hours, maybe 48 later, as I might need to post backup follow up polls.
