If war was running the show, that would be one thing.

But like ANYTHING IN LIFE... you get to many people involved, and they make bad decisions

Or the AMERICAN WAY, you get so many people together so NO decision is make. Or in layman's terms, CONGRESS.

Ming,
In all fairness, we had a slow start and are trying to be doves. If we had been able to attack and conquer the comps we would be doing much better right now.

If you can do better, why don't you offer your own two cents?

It would have been easy to do better, and that's one of the reasons why I wouldn't want to be involved in a game where all decisions are made by a group, because the odds are, they wouldn't always agree with me

*actually, I don't like games that move at that slow pace. I dislike PBEM games as well *

Part of the problem is the organisation.

It is hard to cycle turns more than once a week since:

1. President has to play, post screenshots and a turnlog.
2. Forwards game saves to all the ministers.
3. Ministers submit reports, open polls or discussion threads on areas we feel the public needs to input.
4. Usually 2-3 days to vote/ discuss.
5. Repeat. Unless one were to get really involved, it is hard to lower the turnaround time while retaining citizen input.

If your first rule in MP is to kibitz, you should do fine with us.

Sorry, the first rule of MP is to play your turn, and bloody well hurry up about it.
