reserved for tips & techniques for conducting a chat

It was suggested that you end everyturn with this....

end of turn 1, 4000 BC
tax - 0%/ science 100% / culture 0%
researching Fusion due in 10 turns
pressing enter

If no instructions are given for a situation, then it is left up to the discretion of the DP. Otherwise instructions must be followed even if you gave them yourself.

 

[Sigma]

Make sure you add the Governor of City 3 to your instruction checklist.

II. States

IIA. States are groups of cities run by a single Governor.
IIB. Cities within states do not have their own Governor.

1. Governors of States may designate a civil government led by a Mayor in cities under their control.

A. Mayors may be appointed or elected in a special election depending on the wish of the Governor of the State. The way of choosing Mayors does not need to be the same for all Cities in a given State.​

2. A Governor of a State chooses how many cities if any will have Mayors in a given term.​

IIC. The Capital of [Name of our Nation Here] will never be a part of a state.​

I have read this to imply that the second governor was over both of the other cities until a new state is established.

 

[DaveShack]

No state exists until it is created. Until then, each city has its own governor.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Ok fixed....

Whomp is UP
Tubby Rower is On Deck

Are we going to wait till we have a president and chief justice.

 

[GeorgeOP]

We don't need a Chief Justice to play a turn chat, and the President at this time only has to worry about the tax rate which he can't change by more than 10%. I think we can have one turn chat without those positions filled. Also, wasn't this next turn chat going to be shortened for some reason?

 

[Sigma]

Also, wasn't this next turn chat going to be shortened for some reason?

Yes. I plan on requesting we stop the TC after we're finished researching alphabet, so I can see what trades we can make before we start researching our next tech. (i.e., if we can't get any religious techs through trade, we might decide to get those out of the way) Alphabet will be completed in ~8 turns, so it won't be much shorter than normal.

Ok fixed....

Whomp is UP
Tubby Rower is On Deck

Tubby - I believe you played last term, in which case Bengeance is on deck, followed by you, DS and CT by votes among DPs who played last term.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Last term we went by vote tally. I was just following precedent. Since Whomp & I tied he got the first position.

I'll leave it as me on deck until I hear confirmation of DP play order.

 

[Chillaxation]

It seems to me that if the order had been taken only from the vote tallies, the order would have been you, Dave, CT, CivGeneral. That wasn't the order, because neither you nor Civ had played the previous term. The order was you, Civ, Dave, CT: first DPs who hadn't played last term, by votes, then those who had played Term 1, by votes.

Am I missing something?

 

[Tubby Rower]

I don't know... I was just trying to get the ball rolling so we didn't waste time. I'm fine with bumping Benge up to on deck if he is.

so Whomp is UP - playing tomorrow
Bengeance is ON DECK

 

[Bengeance]

Yeah, that is fine with me.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I changed the play order... I'll be gone from Friday to Monday which could be another TC. So I just dropped myself to the bottom of the chain.

Play Order :
Whomp
Bengeance UP
DaveShack ON DECK
Chieftess
Tubby Rower

 

[Bengeance]

I'll try to have the turnchat on Wednesday unless we need more time for tech trading discussion

 

[Tubby Rower]

Go ahead and create the thread. The trade stuff shouldn't hold us up since the polls were posted today.

 

[Bengeance]

Looks like Daveshack is UP and Cheiftess is ON DECK
