Delightful, but what about situation sin the UN which requires a responce less than 72 hours?

Then we can just create our own time limit. I guess it should read something like "a minimum of 72 hours except cases which require a quicker response", but otherwise, this ruleset is perfect.

IF we are forced to make a decision quicker than whats prescribed by our ruleset...I am sure we will just have to do it. And no one will complain since it will be out of our hands.

so the president is in charge of settlers instead of the domestic minister?

Good call I did not catch that. I think it should go under domestic.

I also think domestic should be in charge of civics and religions...

Looks like the poll was premature.

Should have posted in the discussion thread silly!

I also think domestic should be in charge of civics and religions...

agreed but i think the prex could be in control of the workers.

Argh! Why the discussion now? ;)

If this passes, we can make amendments to it.

well i voted yes for that reason :)

also we only had like a day discussion is probably why!!!

it doesn't have anything that states we can make amendments...

it doesn't have anything that states we can make amendments...


doesnt have anything that states we cant though....

I think the general consensus is that we arnt going to have this all bogged down with the bureaucracies found in the other demo games. I don't have a player list/census (I'll make a post of that in a second), but I assume we are a fairly small group and because of that we are able to be more flexible and dynamic. Not to the point of making rules up as we go, but treating this more of a team game with a focus on the game than roleplaying using the game as a vehicle.

I figure we could assume that a simple majority vote would be necessary for an amendment. It doesn't say that a candidate must have the most votes to win, but we assume it does.

This had been discussed before, but none of this was put up until now. We have had over at least a month to discuss this. :shake:

as soon as this is finished are we popping up nomination threads?

One step ahead of ya BCLG. ;)

well you were after i said it! :p

Alright, this ruleset is hereby ratified. Great work guys!

and now to start ammending it...
