It's a game of Civ 2 where the players elect a cabinet to run the game. The President plays the game, the cabinet ministers run different departments, military, diplomacy, etc....
These ministers host polls and the citizens vote on what the president does.
This is how the game runs.
Section A: Joining
Point 1: To join the game, simply start posting your ideas in the various threads to help decide the current course of action.
Section B: Game Dynamics
Point 1: Current turn rate is 5 turns every 2 days. This can be changed on demand.
Point 2: Game consists of 6 cabinet members + governors.
Point 3: Polls and discussions would be posted after the President posts the turn info. At the end of the day(s) he plays out the moves.
Point 4: Screen shots should be uploaded for review.
Point 5: After turn one the President MUST report to the forum WITH a screenshot. Then the polls begin for the Leader of Internal Affairs, and Science Department. Once these first decisions are made, the President may proceed playing multiple turns until another decision must be made. In which he reports to the forum. This can only continue for the first 30 turns MAXIMUM! And can end earlier at the Presidents dissension.
Point 6: No ONE is allowed to download and play out a saved game. Penalty is Death, by fierce Shunning. It's also grounds for impeachment.
Point 7: When multiple ideas have been proposed the president has the option to have a cabinet vote, and "weed out" the bad ideas from the good ideas. Anything that passes is voted on by the people....and then what passes is written into law.
