The game has now started! If anyone has any questions about how to play the game, I strongly encourage you to ask now, since things will just get hopelessly complicated later if you don't.
For the newcomers, here are the things you can do right now:
- Take turns: This is the only action that you are required to do. To take a turn, simply go to the Board page and press the "Take a Turn" button. You may take a turn as often as every 3 days, and you must take a turn at least every 5 days. If 5 days go by and you have not taken a turn, you will be fined $100, and your turn will be taken for you anyway.
- Make proposals: A proposal is simply the addition, deletion, or modification of any of the rules, or some change to the game that does not necessarily correspond to a rule change. To make a proposal, go to the Proposals page, type your proposal, and press "Submit Proposal". You may not have more than one proposal being voted on at a time, and you always have the option to retract a proposal after making it. You are not required to make proposals.
- Vote: Once a proposal is made, each player has 5 days to vote on it. To vote, go to the Proposals page, find the proposal you wish to vote on, and click either "Yes" or "No". You can always change your vote before the 5 days has expired. You are not required to vote, but I strongly encourage everyone to do so, as voting is your way to have a say towards the rules of the game.
Good (and equal) luck to all!
