[DG2] Getting Started

[dutchfire]

8 days, including Christmas! I'd say start term 1 on feb 1st, and have nominations and elections up a few days before.

Well, I hope during the long month wait in January that there would be some campaining to spread the Demogame to other posters to gain more citizens .

I'm going to start working on my own draft of our Constitution, discussion has died down in pretty much all the threads except the judiciary (which I'm leaving "to be filled in later) as well as the continuous play vs. 10 turn turn chat (will also be excluded.)

If discussion has already died down, how is waiting another 5 weeks going to help?

 

[ice2k4]

I think it might take about 3-4 weeks to get everything proposed, polled and approved. And then the 5th week will probably take up noms and elections.

For a hypothetical Feb 1st start, we want an announcement and new forums by Jan 15th. This will give new citizens a week to find the forum, get oriented on the game, and ratify the rules, before nominations start. To make that happen we need:

1. A draft ruleset that a majority of the pregame crew (us) agrees to.
2. Welcome, help, FAQ, etc. based on the game setup we are proposing.
3. Proposed wording for an announcement.
4. Approval for the new forums and a committment to have them in place.
5. A plan for who is going to post each piece of information, including the draft ruleset ratification, nominations, and intro material.

I'm already working on #4, several people are contributing to #1. Looking for volunteers for the rest.

I'd personally leave #5 to the moderators.
When I'm back from holiday, I'm willing to help with the others.


Merry Christmas!

Well let's get rolling. I'll be taking a more proactive role in the next week.

Merry Xmas.
