Since this has obviously cause quite a stir, I'm not going to respond to every post individually.
In the matter of calling the emergency chat, and citizens claiming there wasn't enough time to discuss:
Yes there was. There was actually 2 days worth of discussion and no poll. There was a whole thread on it. IT IS NOT THE OFFICIAL'S JOB TO NAME THE THREADS. If you don't read every thread, I completely understand, but maybe checking the first post of every thread could help. If you feel that the title "capitol start" or whatever it was did not give enough description, and you skipped over it because you were either too lazy to read the first post, or just didn't have enough time, I'm sorry, but the discussion was there. Also, screenshots were up as soon as the creation save file was posted. Again, you can't hold be responsible because you didn't find the screenshots, which were in the same post the save was in.
In the matter of me calling the emergency turnchat:
Firstly everything I did was legal. I had no intention to "play it without the citizen's consent" or anything like that, whether you feel that way or not. It was not meant to set a precedent, and the reason for calling it was simply to keep the game moving. The game gets pretty slow when you've gone four turnchats, and still haven't pressed enter (game creation, first scout move, second scout move, settle city.) A lot of support was shown with no objection to the emergency turnchat. It was proposed a day or two earlier than I actually executed it. I would of executed it even earlier, if it hadn't been for my grandmother having a stroke. The idea was proposed not only in the discussion thread, but as well as the dp thread.
In the matter of not being enough time to object:
I agree with you. There was not enough time to object, and I am truly sorry for this. When I was midway sending a pm to dutchfire, informing him to wait a little first, and then posting a duplicate of that in the instruction thread, he had already posted got it. At that point I realized whats done is done. Although he may of passed over my post time, not realizing I posted only two minutes ago, I take full blame for it, as I should of included that in my unedited first post (with instructions.)
If the citizens feel the 1/2 turn movement of a scout made in an emergency turnchat requires a coup, then go as far as you want with it. If you realized I withheld my decision to call a second emergency turnchat, and will not be calling one again, due to the controversy it causes. If everyone was against emergency turnchats, I assumed there would of been limitations stated in initiatives, acts or clauses
