SE4 by Committee

Arkcon:
A 2/3rds Senate vote to expel a minister sounds good.
And yes, all open comms and votes will be taken via forum.

Only Generals engaging in tactical combat need Instant Messenger clients.

New players joining would have the option of taking any available minister slot, being a general or a senator, and would follow the same rules as players who previously died in game.

LazarusLong:
1) Seems fair enough. I wonder who is the person to talk to know that Richard's gone?
A dedicated forum would be nice, too.

2) No can do, PBW dosen't take sequential turn games, or tactical combat
I am going to be manually entering the commands, modding player experience in, and generating reports. I may just post the savegame for public viewing if its too much work to generate the reports...

Signups:
#1: Geo. (Local Planetary Minister or General)
#2: Arckon. (Science Minister)
#3: Matryx (General)
#4: Dead meat (Defense Minister)
#5: LazarusLong (Senator)
