It don't mean a thing....
In Autumn last year The Duck of Flanders came up with an idea of a new way to play Civ. The Demo game was born, with a President who actually played the game turns, a cabinet who advised the President directly and posted necessary polls for all the issues that came under their remit, and the populace who voted in these polls to direct national policy, and came up with ideas of their own. Despite some difficulties and refinement of the game system, the brave adventurers of the United Fanatica ensured that the name of President Kev will live forever in the annals of Civilization by landing 40,000 colonists on a planet of the star Alpha Centauri in the year 1906. 
We got a score of 4213 on Emperor level: a Civ rating of 421%!
After this success, we are looking to play another game. The new game will be slightly different from the first, but we are still discussing what level to play on, and whether to play a scenario, a world map or another random game. Come along to the forum and join in the discussions!
We welcome everyone who would like to take part, whether this be a major or minor one. If you want to just have a look at the game, whether through curiosity or looking to learn something about playing on the higher levels then please do. You can make a few posts in a discussion but do not feel obliged to stay and play the whole game if you don't think you can spare enough time. Obviously we would be delighted if people decided to contribute more and joined the game full-time but will not mind if you only want to visit to find out more.
The new demo game will also be pioneering a new style of moderation of the forum. Duke of Marlbrough is the moderator of the forum, but since he will be so busy with the Civ 2 GotM then Kev and I have agreed to act as deputies and report those trying to spoil the game or break the forum rules to him for his action as he sees fit. We didn't have too much trouble with the last game and hope that people will want to come together for this communal game of Civ 2. So come to the forum and post your suggestions in the "What to do next?" thread. We've had a great time playing the democracy game and urge others to dust off their copies of Civ 2 and join our glorious nation!

) provided a stable platform to play upon, we shalln't forget the valinte efforts of those who took up the torch during the time which the game's future wasnt so bright. So in all I'd like to say good luck may you achieve high goals and set new standards in this next game. May the principles of Democarcy prove it's superiorty over all else and make a true statment. 
) of the Constitution but I can't seem to find the more important polls in between all the bureaucratic kerfuffle. Such as: Difficulty level, size of world, world type, which civ we'll be, how many and which other civs, barb level, etc. Have these things already been decided or will the people get a say in this? As someone who has no interest in playing at politics is there yet an opportunity to have my say in the direction of this game with running for office or joining a party or whatever? Is there not a general game info section that we can discuss while everyone else gets on with their electioneering?
