Do you want it with out a poll and where do you want this poll at (New or Old Forum).

Thanks CivGeneral

It goes up without a poll. Responses get posted individually by the voters. Since we've got the new forums open we can go ahead and put it up there.

Thanks again!

 

[GenMarshall]

Ill Go ahead and post it . I just hope that all of the Department Leaders have Registered in the new Citizen forums.

 

[Shaitan]

Once you get it up I'll do the legwork for making sure everybody is notified about it.

 

[disorganizer]

Hmmm... i thought we agree on no phoenatican info been brought over... i see many this-game reseblances there right now :-(
not good.

 

[Shaitan]

I've seen a lot in the registry but that's about it. I can handle it if it stays in that one thread.

 

[disorganizer]

i will surely notice you of any others >-)
maybe a mod proclamation on this matter in the new forum would be nice... like a forum announcement (i dont know wheter you can do it, though)

 

[Shaitan]

We'll keep an eye on it, dis. Eyrei already posted several cautions in the G1 forum and that's where it'll all come from.

 

[Chieftess]

Hmm, I thought I posted it here, but here it is.

The Turn Chat Index and History Department (combined thread) should be a sticky thread in the main forum.

(There, happy? )

 

[Octavian X]

Don't you think your posting the Turn Chat Registry a bit early? are you sure you'll be president next game?

Anyway, I'd volunteer for writing up a history report for each turn chat. Maybe we could submit those histroy write-ups to TF, and he can put those on the Civfanatics homepage, like he did with PNN. I think those were responsible for bringing a good amount of citizens.

 

[Chieftess]

*sigh* Doesn't anyone listen? (I've had a semi-bad day today...)

It's not a Turn Chat Instructions or Schedule thread. That's different.

It's an index, along with the history thread. Look at the "SEMI-FAKE Thread" in the main Demogame forum. It will look like this:

First Post: Turn Chat Registry

Chat Log 4000BC - 3500BC | September 3rd, 2002
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

2nd Post: Buffer Thread (incase the text runs over the limit)

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

3rd Post (and past the 3rd): History threads, like in the history department.

The 2 threads will be combined. All I'm doing is updating the links to the log file and turn chat instructions. Not the Turn Chat Schedule.

 

[Octavian X]

I remain confused. Would the third thread contain write-ups on the chat, or the statistics from after the chat, like what Daaraa has been doing in the historical statistics dept.

 

[disorganizer]

there will be 2 offices: a statistics office (i propose daara) and a history office (who volunteers? i would propose donsig).
the history office will write the story of phoenatica in niceley words. not only ingame, but also forum history. the statstics office does what daara did this game.
the history info as well as the turn-writeup could be placed on cfc newspage

 

[Chieftess]

/me wonders why everyone's still confused.

Take a look at this thread. That's how it will look. No summaries, just the turn chat index and historical data like Daaraa's post.

(unless we both have different meanings of a 'summary')

By summary, I take it to mean the major events that happened in the game that are written in the Turn Chat Instructions. (sort of like: "The year is 4000 BC, and we founded our first city, '____'. Warriors were recruited to survey the land, while our worker mined the grasslands in our area").

Statisical Data is like this:

Perhaps this conversation should be taken to the new thread opened in the Game 2 forum. Game 1 forums will not be changed at this point. LINK
