organize us!

[disorganizer]

so wait and learn ;-)

[Space05us]

huh? about what? the stat thing?

[civman2000]

yep...all i know is that my stats are really high, i think they have to do with post count...

[Space05us]

i think so too. and by the looks of it you're close to being the next thing up.

we would need our own moderator though...putting em all in the archive and keeping everything stright would take a lot of work to put on MarkG or Ming, with all their other stuff they have to do...

How hard would it be to delegate this to someone? Im getting a headache from the gazillion threads here.

[Space05us]

how is it so hard to keep up on things? I have no problem with it and Im in both demo-games.

[disorganizer]

well, as i said: only the archive will need constant work of mods.
if we get a "needed" thread for the mods, we as citizens could post our requirements (move this thread [link] to the archive....etc). it would make things
a) easier for the mod(s)
b) more organized for us

as first thing, i would like to push ppl to organizer this forum.
to the mods:
can we get subforums here? how many can we get?

example:
1 subforum each for:
polls:
only polls allowed there
government:
only departments and provicial threads allowed there
informational:
informational threads, like history, citizen list, savegames etc.
archive:
all obsolete threads (e.g. old elections) can be moved there

we would also urgently need a thread for requesting mods to top threads or do other things for us (like move threads)

Yes, we need organization! This nation is growing (79 citizens last I checked) and the threads can be hard to follow.

similar to you, I suggest:

GOVERNMENT:
(only ministers and govt can post here)
This provides all information and screenshots.
Historian/Reporter post here too.
Each minister has their own thread.

ELECTION & REFERENDUM POLLS:
(results of these polls are binding on ministers)

ELECTIONS:
(campaign speeches, interviews, etc...)

POLLS:
(general polls, not binding, more like information gathering)

CITIZENS FORUM:
(anything game-related, comments, politics, deals, discussions, whatever... )

ADMINISTRATIVE:
(Not immediately game-related, more like when chats are happening, forum organization, technical details, game speed, downtime, etc...)

ARCHIVE:
(archived stuff)

[Space05us]

as soon as the game has started and is underway there will be a lot less posting and no need for seperate forums for each thing. trust me on this one.

[Jon Shafer]

Yes, agreed. The enormous disorganization, clutter and polls now are due to the setup of the game, which won't be the case later on.

[Moral Hazard]

Space and Trip are correct (check Civ2 Demo) for verification. It'll take a while to get everything sorted, but it'll be fine once it is sorted.

[Alex]

I hope so. It is a bit hard to follow, especially for those of us who frequent more than one forum regularly (well, except for Space, of course).

Interesting: disorganizer is asking for things to be organized...

[Pythagoras]

One thing is that I think we should better distinguish between "elections" and general "polls"

So I like Captains proposal.

[disorganizer]

i would like some mod-speaking in here. how can we directly address our mod (who is it anyways?) without pming?

[Kuciwalker]

CivFanatics does this, therefore it must be evil and sacriligious.

Seriously, though, after setup it will get a LOT better.
