CtP Democracy Game

[Frozzy]

IIRC, this question was posed around 3 months ago, and most people either didn't mind, or didn't even know what a Democracy Game was.

For those who aren't too sure here is a breif summary of a Democracy Game:

Basically, you are all in charge of 1 civilisation. You work like a real nation (e.g. you have a constitution, have referedums, elections etc.). Befre the game you elect judges (so we don't have fascist dictators taking over the game) and you elect ministers (who aid the president in the game with defence, internal affairs etc.) The president is also elected, and he plays the turn, saves it, and asks the ministers what to do next, who in turn ask the people. and so on and so forth.

We are the only multi-player community on Apolyton without a Democracy Game. IIRC, it only took 10 people to start the Alpha Centauri DG.

Also, please bear in mind that other, non-CtP players can join in polls and the actual game (like I am doing in the CtP2 Democracy Game)


So, are you interested in making a CtP Democracy Game? We are the only multiplayer community on Apolyton without one. Civ2 and 3 both have two democracy games. CtP2 and SMAC have one. Let's add CtP to that list

I vote no. I think that I am one of the "fascist dictators" that redbull is referring to.

[Frozzy]

If you are reffering to the game, it is all good to be fascist if the members want it

However you simply cannot be voted president and then ban elections, a la Hitler, Pinochet, etc.

I vote yes. I am having a hard enough time trying to get 2 turns a week. Maybe this will livin things up a bit. Besides, maybe its time CTP hop on the Democracy Banwagon instead of trying to be some Facsist pig

[Frozzy]

Nimrod, I spend about half of my Apolyton time at the CtP2 Democracy game, because it's pretty fun The others go to Stories and Diplomacy, the Off Topic, Apolyton/Community and, of course, here, if your interested

[Solver]

I'll keep an eye on this, I say again. If the guys show some interest, I'll arrange you a demogame.

I would like to see what this is about.

I do not understand checkmate... do you not know what a DG is, or what?

Nimrod -- You should play in the PBEM Challenges. I am playing three matches now, and I get about 3 turns a DAY! It is very lively. Maybe we can turn you into a good old fashioned Fascist Pig Dog yet! [Sorry for the spam, I just had to comment on the "fascist pig" remark... ... good luck with the democratic game!]

I get 7 turns in my 5 challengegames nearly every day (2 games are dualgames) - plus what comes up from the other games making a total of 10-15 turns every day!

So Nimrod: There is a lot of "work" to be done out-there .

I selected the third option because there was not a fourth option. Plus demo games don't fit my style

[Frozzy]

Well there were 3-4 people wanting a CtP DG over at the CtP2DG... so thats 6-7 people for one...

3 more

Well, I don't think I fully understand everything about a DG game, but would like to participate in one and learn. That's what I mean

[quinns]

Geoffrey, FASCIST is spelled with an S. I am a FASCIST PIG DOG. Let's get it straight! Not in reality, I hope you know , I just think that Fascism is the best government in CTP with which to conquer... I mean liberate the oppressed masses! So I use that goverment type often when I play.

Actually, I wouldn't mind playing in the democratic game if you all think it would be helpful and fun.
