Length of term

[Moral Hazard]

I'm bumping this because It's a very crucial issue. Personally I agree with Civman et al. Because it will encourage the administation to be more effecient.

1 month

Well. It has also turned to a very hard to evaluare poll. I should hve made two polls of it. (First one if there should be Game Time or Real time and then the actual options)

[Moral Hazard]

So should this poll be scrapped or do we want to try an interpret the results. If we want to interpret the results than I believe that we should use variable game turns considering there are 25(including Eli) total votes for game time, and only 14 total votes for real time.

[Jon Shafer]

Go ahead and start a new one. Real time VS Game time.

[Moral Hazard]

Sounds good. I'll do it.

the elections should be held once a month. The people voting operate in real time not game time and this gives some continuity to the proceedings.

The only important things I need to know as a citizen are:
1) When I have the opportunity to vote (real time, date, hour etc.)
2) Where I can find the relevant polls
3) Where I can make my voice heard without cluttering up ministerial threads

you know... stuff like that
I don't envy anyone the job of collating and organising all of this, but the fun element of the game for the citizens will certainly come from how well our democracy is organised and how well the details of the game are portrayed to the citizens by the ministers.

OT: Man, my stats suck!

On topic: I had voted for game time (change number of turns blah blah blah), but I changed my mind and voted for real time (one month). I have already voted this way on the other poll. As Moral Hazard pointed out, this one was not so easy to understand...

[Spiffor]

Realt time 3 weeks, to have more variety. One month is good, too.

[Kuciwalker]

Actually, one month would generally be twenty turns, as we play 5 turns every week (at least in the Civ2 Demo Game).
