Maybe we could start a multi-site Democracy game. If we can find some other civ2 sites (like apotholon, gamecatcher, Civgaming network) it will be very exiting. We already do this with 2 civ3 MSDG and I think it will be cool for civ2.

Most of those sites are having trouble keeping their own Civ II demogames going, let along trying to start another Multi-site one.

But perhaps the thought of playing with other civ sites would bring out more people.

I haven't seen enough interest that looks like we could carry a game from beginning to end.

Most people don't seem to be able/willing to play through a game as it is. The biggest issue I have heard about is that game moves too slowly, making it multi-site would only increase the time between turns that much more.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more the “Democracy Game” mirrors real life. Apathetic!

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

It's meant to mirror real-life.

 

[raiderbob]

Exactly!
VVVVVV

We just don't have a high enough population to have much activity with only 50% voter turnout.

 

[raiderbob]

Hold the election in Florida and let the republicans run it!?!

Or perhaps a benevolent dictator? King George II?

Dilligaf? ROFLMAO!

We had many times where we basically operating under a dictatorship. Or, I guess, a President that no one ran against.

There was a multi-site demogame about 18 months ago between CFC, GC and Poly (GC won very quickly if I remember correctly). The second game never got off the ground - probably because the first CivIII MSDG started. There's currently two CivIII demogames these sites are involved in. ( http://cdgroup.org are hosting them)

I suppose there's nothing to stop you finding out what sort of interest other sites might have in participating in a game, but you'd need to be prepared to put in the time organising it.

Most Civ II demogames at other sites have died out as well. We were actually very successful compared to most of them by completing three full games of it.
