Unofficial. Just to check interest and determine the potential # of players.
If there are less than ten interested, I won't bother.
If you're not sure what the parallel $Minigame is, here is a thread to the discussion, but the idea has changed a great deal since the first post. The current idea on page 3 but ideas are still subject to change. Please don't think this is final.
Here is a summary of one of the present models:
1) Try to gain wealth. Wealth is composed of cash, land, commodities (food, shields, commerce), buildings, and city interests (to come later in the game).
2) Each player will be given a certain amount of cash ($) to start, to spend on whatever you want. I'd recommend getting some land.
3) You buy land (tiles) that are within the cultural borders of our nation. Each tile produces commodities (food, shields, commerce) that you can use to trade, stockpile, or build with.
4) You can trade with both other players, and a "market base" which is linked to certain obvious game conditions. Generally speaking, if our nation improves in the game, so does the market base, and your prospects of getting wealthier.
5) The challenge comes mainly from competition between you and the other players, but you can also just set your own personal goals and play at your own pace. Regular commitment is not required to participate. The more you do, the more opportunities, but no guarantee you'll succeed. That depends on your skill.
6) Government officials and others who provide public services (like UnOrthO's paper and GePap's Foreign Civ Analyses) may be eligible for compensation - extra cash or perhaps some free land, as an incentive and reward for services.

Spiff and Uber and others concerned about time,
Don't worry about time commitment. You can play as often or not, as you want. Inactivity won't make your Estate less valuable, you just won't earn as much as quickly as a more active player might. You might also not lose* as much either  . It is possible to play less often, and still profit more - frequent small deals or infrequent big deals.
Basic activity would likely consist of checking the markets (whenever changes are posted in the market thread- either once a day, every 2 days, or every week, depending on what's popular) and trading whenever you want, as often as you want, totally at your leisure. Posts in the transactionsthread. There is always the default "Market Base" to trade with if you can't find any other active players willing to trade.
The ten minimum, is just if no one is interested, I'll drop the idea. I'm just not sure there's enough interest to warrant me putting in so much effort now. If more are interested, that's incentive for me to work harder at improving the system.

I'm aware I won't have to commit much if I can't / don't want to, and that's why I voted yes, even though I'll be very busy in September.
