Let's talk about elections and term lengths

That's a great idea re: the staggered 3 month
terms for judges. You are a genius

[lunger75]

Oh, and setting the terms on a date (i.e. the 1st)
rather than every 4 weeks is much better too.

I must point out here that though it is possible to define i as sqrt(-1) that is (IMNSHO) an extremely silly way to do it. Much better is to start with the complex numbers as pairs of real numbers (x, y) representing x+iy, and define addition and multiplication on these. Then finding sqrt(-1) is probably a little more difficult than finding 2+2...

With regard to the election term lengths, I was in favour of 4 week terms in the CTP2DG, but now I think using 1 month terms with elections always starting on the same day of the week would be wise for both games.

(And yes, I know I haven't joined the civgroup yet...)

You mathematicians are always so impractical, you could learn something from us Computer Scientists in that respect

[H Tower]

is it eaiser to define sqrt(-1) or 2+2 in a programming language?

(i really should let this go but I'm too stubborn)
