The first issue has been sent out!! If you did not receive one, please just state so here. Also, here is the first issue for a "preview" if anyone wants to check it out before you get one.
Japanese Sun Times
The Japanese Sun newspaper's goal is to inform the citizens and non-citizens of the demogame of the current happenings in the varying aspects of the demogame. These topics include discussions, pollings, the role-playing game, and the legal matters. We will bring you the headlines of the news, and will point you in the right direction to learn more.
Game Events:
-As the link between the two continents, our nation is in an important position. After this recent turnchat, we discovered Astronomy, and our currently setting our sights on Chemistry and beyond (related thread). We are the only ones in the world who know of Astronomy, and the only ones on our continent who know of Education, putting us in a great tech brokering situation.
(related thread).If we can take advantage of this situation, we can come out of it with more gold per turn, maps, and lump sums of gold.
-After peace was declared with Rome, we built up both our cities and our military. The next two targets we would most likely go to war with would be either the Babylonians or the Iroquois. (related thread) However, some members do not want war unless it is in a defensive action. In either case, offensively or defensively, preparing our nation on the southern front seems to be one of the main focuses at this time.
-Though the game is still in the Middle Ages, some people are already thinking about the end.A discussion on our desired victory condition has been started, and so far, the two favored options are honest diplomatic and histograph.(related thread) Even if we go for a histographic victory, that does not mean we need to conquer the world, except for one city of one civilization. Some citizens would rather prefer a peaceful (yet interesting!) ending to our game.
RPG Events:
The Demogame RPG has been in existance sense the second democracy game. The RPG throughout demogame 2 was widely popular, and there even became complaints that the demogame itself was not receiving enough attention. When a new democracy game was formed, the RPG was reformed, and this new reform although fairly popular at first, soon destroyed the RPG. The RPG was gone throughout half of DG3 and all of DG4. However through several efforts, a new RPG has been formed in this democracy game.
Recent Stories:
A University has been built in Zojoji!! You can join the story of the University in the RPG sub-forum.
(University of Zojoji story)
We have discovered a New World, and a group of adventurers have banded together to make a risky, yet profitable trip to the New World. Although the story is full, an no one else can join, you can still watch and listen to the adventure in the RPG sub-forum. (The New World story)
Recent Activity:
Both of the RPG managers have been slightly inactive as of late, and some people think that the RPG is not doing as well because of this. You can voice your views (out of character mind you) here.
Recent Judicial Activity:
DG5JR #23
The most recent Judicial Review, requested by Ashburnham, was over whether or not the Culture minister may over-ride a govonors build queue and place a wonder into the queue, or a wonder pre-build. The Chief Justice ruled (Ruling of DG6JR #23) that the govonors has sole power over instructing the DP on build queue's, and that no other minister may over-ride those queues. However, the Judge Advocate stated that he believed that the Culture Minister may over-ride a provincial queue if he has the will of the people behind him (Read his opinion here).
Other Activity
The Chief Justice refused a Judicial Review over wether or not there is a law that enforces when turnchats occur. He stated that sense the request was just a question, it has no merit.
