This is a game about the process of Democracy. It's about how we, as people, try to create a structure to cooperatively play a single player game - Civ 3 in this case.

This you did perfectly fine with, nice explanation. You know, I've been playing this game for 3 years and I never knew that.

The rules we put into place, all of them, restrict and limit in some way the decisions and actions we, as citizens, make.

Yes, but they were not put in place to limit what we can do inside of the game (Civ3). They were meant to, as you said above, make a structure to cooperatively play a single player game. This does that how? How would adding this, help make a structure to play the game? It doesn't, it tells us how we can't play the game. It is not building a system for we can play the game. It's making a system, where we can't play the game.

Edit: The National Forest was done the same way nobody proposed. We elected people who would not cut down forests.

Still limits what we can do in Civ3. This is a compromise, how?

It's exactly the same thing as polling a decision in the game -- except you can't overturn that decision on the very next day because one person changes his / her vote.

So, instead a new poll is posted, and it get's overturned 4 days afterwards.

Sorry, Daveshack, but it doesn't work.

You're entitled to your opinion. If it's the majority opinion then we won't have any in-game laws, and if it's not the majority opinion...

Since this poll is inconclusive, a replacement poll is now open.
