Im somewhat leaning towards a bunch of collaborators, so we can see exactly who made what changes. It also limits the chances of someone messing with it (even though we can revert to older versions.)

Yes, that's what I'm saying. "Create" them with the common ID so there is a single place one can get a list of all the docs, but use personal IDs to make changes. A wiki might be better, then you get a structure around the docs.
Don't forget we need to put it back into forum form afterwards, so don't get too fancy with formatting.

How do we get a list of docs other people are working on and haven't given us access?
BTW, I tested the access thing and there seems to be a random, sometimes significant delay between granting access and the doc showing up on the other person's list. Don't know why, and it's not like you can complain about a free service.

Has anyone poked the mods about creating a new Demogame II forum or are we going to use the old forums?

Just need to clear them out.
I don't think it would be too much trouble to ask TF for new forums, especially since it seems we want to eliminate the Roleplay forum.
Let's first decide which forums we want, then make the request. Time for a new thread.
There were a lot of comments during DG1 that the rules didn't reflect the majority opinion because the majority wasn't present during the discussions which led to the rules. Ignoring the DL issue, which is in the past and not something we need fear unless someone has a stash of widely spaced IP addresses and email addresses, there is still the issue of having a "quorum" during the discussions and polling.
So, we should probably request an announcement and hold off on finalizing discussions and starting polls until the announcement has been out for a few days and people start checking in.
Do those who are here agree that we need to do a pregame announcement to build up numbers before setting the rules? Do you have concerns about doing that? Anyone want to participate in drafting the actual announcement?

"Hello Provolution, it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks. Why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution, or participate in a discussion in any one of our forums?"
A few moments to ask a question... Quite, I seem to get "taught" again.
Well, help provide solutions... We have seen how that went
Participate in a discussion... Indeed, we will see the fruition of that.
Anyhow, I am at the demogame service, and hope the culture has radically changed from before, the last 2 demogames, or I will be gone in a second.

I think we should make a series of announcements.
One now Stating the second demogame is starting it's pre-game discussion and are making rules.
A second when we start rule polls.
And a third when the game has started (defined as when office nominations starts, not when we play the first save.)
And welcome back Provolution.

There is no way on earth Thunderfall/the mods will post THREE annoucements - one each for discussion and polls??? Let's stick to one, deciding whether or not to have it before the polling/writing of ruleset, or when the game starts.

You're probably right, even though the announcements would be within a few weeks of each other. I still don't understand why he posts the GOTM every time, yet doesn't promote the demogame.
I think it is a mistake to assume anything. A lot may depend on when these things happen.
First off, ainwood posts the GOTM annoucements, not TF.
But I think that happens because for each annoucement, there's a new game - he doesn't post 3 annoucements for the same game! And there is a game to promote for the GOTM each month, whereas here for the demogame, we are kind of in limbo at the moment. I think that some people would just get ticked off if they see announcements named "Civ4 DG discussion underway!" "Civ4 DG polls have begun!" "Civ4 DG has begun!". Historically, we've just had 1 per game, at the beginning of each game.
