Too Many Polls/Positions/Ministries Inflate your Upload Space

I think things are fine the way they are now, but if we add too many more things, then it may get a little messy.

Suffering from ads?

Except this one, I think there are currently 6 polls running, and only 2 major ones, which will close today. At the beginning, there were indeed too many polls, but things are much calmer now.
I don't think there can be too many things (except spamming) on this forum : the more arguments and debates we have, the more democratic fun we get. I esp. think about the "ethics" thread, which is yet again another topic, but which gives more interest to the game.

My vote is a clear NO

I'm following things perfectly. Heck, I have time to spare, I wouldn't mind more complication even. But as long as ya stick with it and check maybe once a day, its not hard to keep up.

Oh, DarkCloud - where were you a few weeks ago when civman2000 and I were campaigning for less complication, less Constitutional bureaucracy etc....

This game was hideously complex from the start. However, it has surprised me by starting to settle down considerably. Just think how easy it will be to keep track of things when all those polls/party threads are at a minimum.

Here's to the ease of life that will be the future.

I have made a Government Report thread, which has links to all the current (and maybe not-so-current) Minister reports. This will allow us to get to all of them without cluttering up the forum with a load of topped threads.

in the poll there should have been more options ,
1) there are not to many ministries
2) there should be more
3) no there are not to many positions
4) there should be more
5) no there are not to many polls
6) there should be more polls

Just because it isn't as complex as he's making it out to be doesn't mean we should make it that complex.

Oh, that's good. A very good idea- hopefully it will make finding things easier.

That's my main concern- that things will become too 'spread out' and it will be too hard to find things or polls and people will give up because they cannot find the important issues.

An example of a useless ministry would be the Ministry of Finance for one... Why can't the president do that? Or just set up a regular vote- the job doesn't do much...

A project of merger (finance ministry + trade ministry) is in the works. You can see the realted poll here : http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=54106

I feel it would get rid of a useless layer of bureaucracy.

I vote for more polls to counteract the threat of the offending polls. Perhaps an alliance with America? no? I thought not.

Right now I think it is a little confusing which is why I started the discussion of a clerk position, someone to organize us. Although not to bad if you can join in every day or so, if you skip a week it becomes a nightmare to figure out what is going on. Other than the fact that we lack good organization, I don't see things as being too complex.
