Code:
D. Turn Chat Procedures
1. The Designated Player (see Chain of Command) should be in the chat room at
least 10 minutes before the scheduled time and begin play at the specified
start time. The Designated Player may conduct any prepatory activities
that can be immediately undone without reloading the save, at any time
prior to the start of the turn chat, even offline.
a. The primary chat room shall be #Turnchat on irc.irc-chat.net.
2. If the Designated Player has not shown up 10 minutes after the scheduled
start of the turn chat, a new Designated Player shall be chosen from the
officials present following the Chain of Command. If none are present, then
the Chat is cancelled.
3. The Designated Player shall upload a save of the game after turn 0, every 5
turns after that, and a final save at the conclusion of the chat.
4. If the Designated Player voluntarily relinquishes control, they shall post a
current save of the game in the TCIT. The next person in the COC attending
the chat shall download this save and resume playing the game with that save.
5. If the Designated Player disappears and has not reappeared within 10 minutes,
the next person attending the chat on the COC shall become the Designated
Player using the most recently uploaded save game.
6. If a game has to be used that is not current, then the moves from the chat log
must be duplicated.
7. Once a player has started playing the save, they are the Designated Player for
that turn chat and shall not be required to relinquish play to a late
arriving/returning, but higher ranked official.
8. The maximum number of turns to be played per Turn Chat will be 10.
a. A valid and binding Forum Poll may extend the number of turns to be
played, on a per-chat basis
b. Under extenuating circumstances the chat may be extended by the DP for up to
3 turns. No other approval is need for the DP to extend the Turn Chat if the
allowable conditions are met. The
reasons a chat may be extended are:
* to allow research to complete so that next options can be discussed
* to allow a specific wonder or production to complete, so its affects can be
determined
* to complete a military action, so that peace terms can be discussed, or
follow on action planned
* to allow a period of anarchy to complete, so the government change can be
assessed
E. Turn Chat Rules
1. Only citizens of the Democracy game shall be voiced.
2. Citizens are encouraged to provide constructive advice & positively contribute
to the chat.
3. Spaming, lobbying, repetitive questions and any other unnecessary traffic in the
chat is forbidden.
4. Clones are not allowed!
5. Violations of the chat rules shall result in the offender being de-voiced.
6. The chat operators hold the right to de-voice all non-officials if the chat gets too
confusing or is disturbed by someone permanently. The Designated Player
makes this decision.
7. De-voicing actions shall be investigated by the Judiciary.
8. During turn chats, #Demogame is still open for totally free discussions.
Departments or special interest groups can also open private discussion rooms.
9. The Designated Player retains the right to end the chat turn at their discretion.

). I also hope that the #demogame can also be like a Training Center or a help center for any newbie in the DG. Perfict if the Newbie citizen is lost in the main #turnchat room. He/she can seek help there where the vets of the DG can help the Newbie.
