Needed Things

[Chieftess]

Post here to request any stickies, deletions, etc.

 

[MOTH]

Just some minor things that have been bothering me. Some cleanup is needed as there are stickied threads that are not being used or have suitable replacements. These should be unstickied or deleted at the pleasure of the mods.

Main Forum:
cartography thread can be deleted as there is the screenshots thread replacing it.

Citizens Forum:
City & Heritage Threads Registry can be deleted as there is an RPG Events thread in the RPG forum.

Government Forum:
Elected Office Index can be deleted as there is a replacement Election Results in the main forum.

Census Office can be deleted as there is a suitable replacement.

Chat Office & Chat Information can be deleted as there is a replacement Chat Info Index in the main forum.

Moderator Action: Instead I've unstuck them, giving the same result. Rik

I'm not going to edit the constitution based upon a post in the "needed things" thread. The constitution is our base, our start, our defining ruleset. It takes more than a simple post here to have me change that.

Can you point me to the discussion and the poll about this ?
If so; it will be changed, if not; it won't be changed.

 

[gert-janl]

As per the results of this poll please change Article K of the constitution into:

Article K.
All irreversible game actions must progress during a public turnchat, while 
reversible game actions (i.e. build queues) that adhere to legal instructions
can be prepared offline.
  1. A turnchat instruction thread must be created at least 3 days before 
     the chat.
     a. All official instructions must be posted in the current turnchat
        instruction thread. Instructions must be clear and defined.
     b. Officials must post their instructions at least one hour before the
        Turnchat. However, offcials may make changes to their instructions up
        to an hour before the chat, so long as those changes are noted.
  2. The Designated Player shall be charged with the creation of a date and
     time for all public turnchats.

Moderator Action: Done - Rik

wonders, as well as the analysis and maintenance of cultural borders.
This official shall also be responsible for monitoring Japanatica's cultural
level against that of all rival nations.
