So we've had this game for about a year now with no real changes. We are basically playing the same game that was here in 2000... Time to change this game!
I financially support this game; what do you do?

It seems like most of the players like playing the same old game over and over. For many of them, the real game is the inter-clan/team relations and drama. Changing the mechanics would distract them from fluffing around with each other.

Personally, I'm not sure a new gov't type is the best way to spice things up. The current gov't types cover every possible strat that I can currently see possible. New strats would require major changes to the game mechanics. I've throw out a number of thoughts on changes to game mechanics that might allow new gameplay strategies but they haven't had a lot of support so I'll assume that either people don't read this forum or there's not much support for making major changes to gameplay mechanics.

pirate, can not capture land only booty, can not be land killed
progressive, triples taxes, economy booms
chinese commie, sells goods to keynesians, debt compounded daily

I have some thoughts for a new government, but it's all been just discussion to date, no actual plans yet...
Finally did the signature thing.
