Now that it seems we'll be setting up this DGame in the forseeable future, I figured I'd start the talk on what the board structure should look like. My personal preference is to start small and keep stuff centred at first, then expand on it as and when needed. As such, I suggest the following boards be created: The Public Gallery Actual posting should be limited to the Presidency and the Senate, but everyone can watch. Used for all regular Senate business. The Forum Open discussion area for all citizens. The Voting Booth Reserved forum for hosting polls during elections, plebiscites, etc. The Halls of Justice Specific forum for the Supreme Court, though open to all. Among other functions, this allows citizens to address the SC and Senators to submit Law proposals for checking against the Constitution. Additionaly, both the Senate/Presidency and the Supreme Court could use private boards for their cloak-and-dagger antics. Thoughts?

I'd like to see HD's sports section brought over to this side of the DGame realm. The DGame's are gonna need room for people to contribute to the game, while not actually contributing to the gameplay itself... for example, smalls newspapers, sports leauge, role-playing... everything you've proposed fits in the mind, but I'd like to see a "Daily Life" section devoted to this side of the game. But yeah, these are fairly simplistic despite the first impression.

I'm looking at the Dgame probably being in it's own forum category (i.e. Civ IV Discussion, CivIII Discussion). In which case, we would have plenty of room to do whatever we need to.

So when are we going to see the Daily Life type sections spring up?

Yes, I agree with Bismarck. Let the Role Playing begin!

Well, you could start creating "role playing" threads in the Town Square section...

I wonder if the town square was intended to be like the public meeting hall type of place where plebiscites and such would be held, or if it is a general purpose? I would tend to think that it is a general purpose, so it may be the best place to have role playing threads?

I see the Town Square as the center place for general discussion, which was much like the "open forum" in the old Democracy Game forums. The problem with allowing active role-play to accumulate in this forum would be the amount of "clutter" that would come from it. Normal Role-playing forums for DGames will gather thousands of threads... and so would a general forum. Thus, I really preffer not to be bothered going through pages of somebody's story about the local pub or random newspapers... to just find my one thread concerning my opinions on the current amount of Community worker units. Keeping them seperate, is the way to go, imo.
