Having made my decision, The Great Experiment is to continue. While I strongly considered a move into the 1820's and 1830's, I don't think we're ready yet considering there is still much to explore and the task of filling up over thirty years of backstory and different governments is just too much, meaning we'd start the round with very little info to go on. I'd much rather continue to explore this new world created by the departure of America's first First Secretary.
I can announce that there will also be a few changes in gameplay:
1.- Governor elections will be simplified to make things easier for players.
2.- The slots available for legislation will be recalibrated to prevent players from running out of ideas.
3.- There will be a more objective review of the press and debate system, awarding political points to players for their contributions which will better measure the results of their actions.
The purpose of this thread is both to informe me of whether you intend to carry on with your character, switch to another one, or leave the game. It is also intended to recieve new players for the different characters now available (Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, John Adams, the Pinckneys, possibly Gen. Jackson and Federalist Leader Morris, and so on), a task in which we will spend the days before the restart. I would like to encourage you to consider recruiting people if you believe there is someone who might be interested in playing, or if you want to choose your own replacement for your character.
We will start on Friday 17th during the night on the 1793 Turn, as assuming the Government doesn't fall we will have two weeks of gameplay before the 1795 General Election. I will spend the next few days going over the rules and writing summaries for each year so new players can have an easier access into the game material.
