Maybe we could come up with a new structure...
I don't particularly like Orthodox, and we don't have too many people to do factions (and that was a mega disaster), so I am in favor of coming up with one.
If we have an MFDSOgame, the government could work like this:
1. King/Queen
2. Presidents
3. oligarchic council
4. Lords (owners of land)
5. Everyone else.
This allows for a lot of people to be involved in government, while not being overly complicated.
If we don't go with this, let's have it be an OGame.
I am most interested in the Fstyle game... How does that one work?
Now, having never done this before, I could be talking out my ass and this could be a terrible idea, but it seems to me an interesting idea would be to structure the player government after the in-game civics that we are using. So early on, we can have a Despotic/Strongman at the helm, delegating nearly absolute authority to city-governors/military-leaders who would control their respective fiefs, (and also allows the game to start with a few players) but as we graduated to more sophistocated civics, set up more participatory roles. Or has this been tried and proven to be disastrous?
