"Pineapples secede to form their own nation. World's fastest dog turned out to be horse in sunglasses. Everyone is screaming. "

As a matter of fact, the Comoros Islands were released as the sovereign state for the Pineapple Papacy.

- rules on voting for self:
For BoSS motions and elections, yes, Olympics, No.

- codifying suggestions / tradition tidbits
- - - orange and yellow mainly used by BoSS:
I don't think we need to make this a rule

- - - don’t copy tech:
Frowned upon, but leave it. More flexibility.

- - - don’t doublepost unless necessary:
This is pointless. If you double post, its because you need it or it was an accident.

- - - don’t liberally use gods in warfare (only in plots):
Gods being used in wars is already a rule, don't overpower.

- trade and currency standardization
- - - World Credit value:
We need a discussion for this.

- - - specifying weakness & strength of country, ensuring trade?
Everyone already trades with everyone unless you specify your country isn't discovered yet. Strengths an weaknesses could be talked about.

- reviewing the void rule:
Went over it and we said we would keep it. I don't think we need to force this issue.

- attracting new players
- revisiting making multiple country lists:
Discussion needed I believe, or a vote.


That's what I think we need to do for the current session of the BoSS. Some things proposed will make the game to bureaucratic.

The codifying suggestions / tradition tidbits is, like its title says, just some reminders for new players joining the game. Most of it is covered in the rules already or isn't necessary, but it's good to know for the newbies.

Everyone seems to be willing to discuss this agenda, so let's start from the top.

What's everyone's opinion on the current state of voting for yourself (i.e. allowed in BoSS elections, not allowed in Olympics elections)?


This is mainly directed to BoSS members, but other players can, of course, chime in.

[This, of course, assumes you haven't specified that as an act of war or hostility or for any other various reasons, trade has ceased, correct? I know its highly implied but uh, I like making sure about these things. ^_^ ]


HFPE (All eyes, really, only the convoy members have seen this yet. So lets imply that this is Hidden from Public and Private Eyes..?)

Journal Log page 6 - Project SpaceHole Progress... The convoys have successfully traveled through the wormhole with minimal to no damage in the process. It appears to have spawned over the star system of SOL, one of the larger planetary formations in the galaxy, where amazingly, sentient life has advanced extraordinarily. Contact has not been made with these people, however travel has set course for this life planet, Earth. Contact is plotted towards the equator, in anticipation of this planet probably being a bit chilly for our life. Area thermal mapping has found an excellent place to settle that may sustain a regular temperature in a site we'll call Dallol, Ethiopia, which is ideal for settling. In a few months, the convoys will land and half will deploy into settlements and the other half will return home to share our findings. Its concerning how possible it is these sentient creatures are still in a tribal like stage of life and are in fact really stupid, however it appears an advanced looking city-like structure has been found somewhere on this planet which was not identified. This planet also appears to have a very extreme atmosphere of water, covered in what appears to be 2/3 water. Perhaps amphibious creatures would live in such a situation?

Exciting, no matter what!

end HFP&PE thing psh lol

Trade is automatically cut when war is declared, or you state you have sanctioned trade against said person.

D Chip,
My opinion is posted above.
Other than that, some other proposals are pointless and should be removed.

Shing! put it perfectly.


Ninja:

The Basics (Plasma, shielding, FTL... Classic necessities for a futuristic nation.) are hard to not copy. The distinctive techs from each nation are what seem... In poor taste to copy. Make your own ideas & revel in the identity you make for your country. Like my 'MAOR DAKKA' ships... Or Joseph's Cabbage tech... Or Djinn's FOG... Etc etc.

Also, I am convinced that your shield thing is reasonably distinct from mine, despite seeming similar on the tin.

While thinking, Joseph; my country name changed slightly a long while back... It used to be 'The Republic State of Reach', whereas now it is 'The Republic of Reach'.
