President's Report 1853-??? and potential Turn Chat

[War4ever]

It would appear i missed out on a great game before hand, this one is fun, are there plans for another ?

if so, count me in

the community is continuing to shrink, it almost seems like its only the ministers who are left. If we finish this game, I of course plan to participate in the next one, hopefully we'll have more people come back

I think it's hard to keep people interested in a space race game, which is a real shame since this is going to be a squeaker.

Lots of work left to do before we finish.

Any ideas on what we can do to increase the draws?

DanQ will always make a news item out of any history written, they just have to be written...

There is at least one non-minister who follows progress and votes in the polls!

More peolpe will come if we go for the military way of winning, (and maybe, have a game where we only have 10% Sceince when we have a good civ going, and on a earth map, I have a REALLY big one!)

I've voted in all the recent ones. I've even found some old historical ballots lying around unused and filled them out (didn't reply, just voted - would have hated to really confuse someone by replying to a poll that had never closed ) By default, i'm unable to hold office (don't have MGE atm) since at the time of this posting the Censors have yet to produce their latest headcount with my name on it

FYI, H Tower, I can take non-zipped saves if emailed to my work (@shure.com) email, where I can zip them myself. It's the address listed in my profile.

i'll be playing tommorow, if you see me in the chat room, that means i'm playing the round.

Trade report = Standing orders to Trade Like Crazy.

We need those bonus beakers! (Sorry but I've been too busy to get into detailed planning.)

Best of luck on the coming turns. Any idea what time that might happen?

this one seems too far along for me to be able to follow. i may join in on the next one (not as a minister though)

I jumped in anyway. Real citizens of real countries have short attention spans, a trait which is simulated by my lack of knowledge of the game's early stages.

Plus, a lot of the polls are 'common sense' issues, tactical issues that can be addressed without a sense of the broad strategy. Again, just like a real life citizen!

And I did peek at the index too
