Yes to 20K Culture or Conquest. No to the histograph. Histograph victory seems to me like a failure to win any other way, where you ran out of time. I play to win, not to stall victory for anyone including self. Do we just want victory or a great civilization to be proud of because of its...

Merry Christmas everybody, and happy new year!

Whatever we decide, I encourage us to clear up the moderators issue quickly since we are in the midst of our first elections. I think we should go with just replacing justices with moderators for the moment, and we can work on a constitutional amendment later if need be. I'd like to get it...

Out of those two choices, I've got to go with Parisians. On a side note, Rik give Stuck a little credit with the French. Most people from the US could not have come up with that. And just to mention it, we should have been Nederlanders.

Good luck, Stuck! I liked your comments on the nomination page.

The National Parks section is interesting, and I'm all for parks and conservation in real life. However, these ideals seem to possibly inhibit the best interests as the computer does not care about these things. As for the flag, my country the United States has modified its flag slightly...

I would like to see Despotism to republic. It encourages us to fight precise wars and gives us technologies with stronger units. Plus, if we can manage to build a wonder such as the Great Library, we don't have to worry about science for a while and can focus more on our military prowess and...

I wish to join. After all, the ignorant get crushed more often than the technologically advanced in this game. I would like to mention though that excelling scientifically requires a large enough civilization to generate significant research, not just building scientific improvements in a puny...

I wish to join, even though I don't think of myself as a warmonger. I'm not out for victory by domination, just the largest, grandest nation possible which doesn't have to depend on trading with other nations for its most vital resources. I am more of a believer in Manifest Destiny, and being...

Not all opponents are equal in my opinion. I'd like to see Germany definitely in.

I like the religious benefits, but I disdain the headaches of rampant corruption. I guess I'm pink.

I voted yes, but that is mainly because I did not want to see the dissolution of the Senate. Maybe somebody has proposed this before, but how about splitting the role of Senator and Governor with both of them being positions elected solely by the citizens of their province. The Senator would...

I'd like to take a shot at being a mayor. I'd love to oversee the growth of a cultural or industrial center, but I'd like to be someone's deputy mayor first (as soon as possible) since I have no experience in demo as of the start of this game.
