What are we going to do about September?

[Captain]

Since many of our citizens are students, when September comes, many of them may find themselves absent or inactive for a few weeks while they adjust to real-life demands (new schedules, moving, etc...)

I am not sure, but it seems to me this might be a big problem, especially considering that we are already having difficulty recruiting ministers and other officials.

Are there sufficient non-students to carry on the game?

If not, should we pause? or keep going? or what?

What should we do?

I myself will be losing my net connection in a few weeks as I move to a new city for work. I don't know when I'll get set back up (so I'll be retiring then - next Prez, start thinking of a nominee, there are plenty of good candidates out there).

[Sheik]

We should probably try to keep playing.

my school starts next week (college)

I may not know what student workloads are like in the N hemisphere, but I have been in the second half of my Honours University year for 6 weeks now, and I am managing (despite a little lost sleep). I urge everyone to do their utmost to be here as much as they can - if I can do it, surely most here can also.

turnthreads, if thout out well, could become vital

if we stopped turnchats during weekdays all together, i could run for positions again easily, probably

i still wont this election tho.

[Epistax]

I'll be fine in september. I'm just a lowly BS/MS with coop in 5 years of Computer Engineering at a institute of tech so I obviously have plenty of time!

Seriously though, if elected officials will just take small doses of things, there wont be any problem.

POST your official orders ALWAYS
CHECK on the msgboards every so often but don't LINGER.
It doesn't matter if you make it to the turnchats if your orders are posted.

Although I am only a justice *thunder*, I assure everyone that anyone can maintain any governmental position we offer.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Well, President may be a little difficult when we don't have a turnchat, but I'm sure I can handle it. Everyone else's should be OK, tho'.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

When school starts for me, I should be fine for (maybe) a few weeks. After that, I may not be around at all.

[jdd2007]

i cant imagine being active during the school year. i will try to log on at the weekends though.

[Kuciwalker]

Pray to the Banana. Goddamnit, I start high school next year, and my parents are actually thinking about CUTTING ME OFF FROM THE NET *shudders* to see if 'Poly has actually brought my grades down.

[OPD]

So I take it that if you are cut off you'll make sure your grades drop considerably.

[Kuciwalker]

No, I'm not that desperate for 'Poly. I'm going to one of (one of? probably THE) best high schools in the nation (only 400 from all of Northern VA and DC, the Silicon Valley of the East, get in each year), and I want to go to Annapolis for college, so I won't do ANYTHING to jeopardize that.

[BigFurryMonster]

Which nation is that, Skywalker?

[Kuciwalker]

Look at the flag.

[GePap]

Well, I sday we go to turnthreads, and take things a bit easier- think of the poor people in the AC dem game-they start in september!
