why not use corporations as political parties? that seems a fair reflection of politics these days as i should be getting Civ IV soon, i'd be interested in playing. is there a faq or something i can look at to explain everything?

-just click the DGame link in my signature and you'll be taken to the DGame at Civilized. You can find alot of information there. EDIT: There are several government types used in DGames and the DGame represented at Civilized is not in any way the type that is to be used, though it is a good and effective type, especially for the low member count DGames.

Locus Coeruleus (11/8/2005) George Washington strongly opposed the formation of political parties! He was very wise! The D-game should follow his lead! Blindly? Political parties are a eventuality, true they might be more boarder than before but I bet they will form again. What we must ask ourselves is if, in our DGame environment, they do more good than bad. The parties have the potential to keep the game moving by themselves, just by the virtue of compeition between parties keeping interest levels up. However, if the benefits measure less than the harm of a bit of bickering (I like to call it intelligent debate), then certainly we should throw it out. But I think that nessescity should guide the formation of political parties in a cIV DGame, not a Constitutionally-manadated restriction.

I don't think religion will be a big factor in a DGame. Yes religion is in the game, but its almost automatic particularly if your nation is the founder of a religion (or religions). The religions are staggered pretty well on the tree as well, so I doubt we'd see Buddists and Taoists debating over which should be the state religion or what temple gets built in a city. Every type of temple should be built, and usually the first religion that reaches the capitol will be dominate and become the state religion. There may be extreme cases, but extreme cases tend to be minimized in a DGame setting. I think that one Anyway id gladly play! however i think it would be really fun if we had that, if and only if no one took it personally... And how can you have a democratic system without political parties?

Maybe religous parties were a bad idea, but I think with the vast avenues of technologies, civics, etc. that we would need a good way for debating the paths we choose. Of course with a Senatorial committee system our leaders would plead their cases and take it to a vote. So I guess the best thing would be to let these things emerge as the game begins and progresses.

Warlord (11/14/2005) Maybe religous parties were a bad idea, but I think with the vast avenues of technologies, civics, etc. that we would need a good way for debating the paths we choose.

So I guess the best thing would be to let these things emerge as the game begins and progresses. Well put, Warlord. Now, is anything going to happen (Sean, kring, etc.)? I think it would be nice touch to expand the Senate's influence to governing the other 'daily life' part of the dgame, that way, the senators can make rules addressing the formation of political parties, and other things that might come up during the course of any dgame. Not nessacary, but it would certainly would make the senate positions more desirable.

Well put, Warlord. Now, is anything going to happen (Sean, kring, etc.)? Patience, grasshopper.... We are still a couple months away from enough people having the game, I would think. Perhaps after the holidays. In either case, the logistics of a possible Dgame are being discussed.

i wouldn't want to be a part of a logistics discussion. beyond the 'is it possible?' question, it would be difficult to determine the number of sub-forums without a constitution to guide it. if this senate system is to be implemented, it could have several subforums so that each senate committee would have a place to discuss matters. a single 'senate' forum would get swamped with threads from the seperate committees alongside the senate voting threads. perhaps its not to early to start a constitutional convention thread? the discussion may help the logistical issues, and the logistical issues may help shape the constitution.
