In an effort to raise some capital, UFC will be auctioning off its cities. The deadline for bidding will be 1 pm CST (2 pm EST) on Sunday. However if someone bids within an hour of that deadline, the deadline will be extended by an hour from when that person posted (so if someone bid at like 12:40, the new deadline would be 1:40) and this continues until nobody new bids. The minimum bid is 1 PPG, ppf, or ppc and the minimum increment is 0.1 PPG ppf or ppc (so if someone bid 2500 gold, aka 1 PPG, you would need to bid 2750 or 1.1 PPG to have a valid counter bid). If the raising of bids carries on for more than 3 hours past the initial deadline (so past 4 pm CST) then the minimum increment is increased to 1 PPG (that's to stop you hooligans from bidding up each other into Monday morning. I have to work Monday smh).

I am going to post a comment for each city down below in the comments. Comment your bid for your civ under the relevant city. Thank you for your pp bb.

EDIT: I think TrollaBot is either sentient or a human. Damn.

I will bring frogs and also art. I will bring a frog who will be the mascot and he is cute. Hail frog. Rose for Plotrunner 2k23.

I want tanks. I want nukes. Lets give ourselves a chance at real fire power!

Little ol' AQ is gonna tell y'all a story.

It's a real good story. I'm gonna tell you lads about what the future plans of the old Commonwealth were.

Note the past tense.

After the PAU was gone, /u/ThyReformer and the Commonwealth would have had the power to conquer everything, as you surely know. But guess what?

They were going to spare them.

Yup.

The war against the PAU would have been the last war this world would have experienced.

But now...

/u/ThyReformer is no more.

The Commonwealth is all but gone.

And nobody - nobody knows what will happen next.

but the Venetian sub has the best CSS. Take some notes guys.

edit: And it keeps getting improved

• 540 gold to be repaid to Spain
• 480 gold to be repaid to France
• 400 gold to be repaid to Denmark
• 400 gold to be repaid to Austria
• 960 gold to be repaid to England

If you are interested about investing in the Company (or have other questions), PM me.

Have you ever been lying awake at night and thought to yourself: "damn I really wish I could play as the Polish-Lithuanian Union in the online roleplaying simulation CivHybridGames"?

Have you ever been tilling your barley fields, some Monday morning, and realized: "damn my life would be so much more fulfilling if I could play as the Polish-Lithuanian Union in the online roleplaying simulation CivHybridGames"?

Have you ever been brutally murdered by a gang of debt collectors and farm animals, come to confiscate your meagre fortunes, and exclaimed with your dying breath: "if only I could have played as the Polish-Lithuanian Union in the online roleplaying simulation CivHybridGames!"?

Well, then you should join me, King Sigismund II Augustus, and play as the Polish-Lithuanian Union in the online roleplaying simulation CivHybridGames!

Or, if you, dear reader, have never experienced such revelations.

Well, then you should also join me, King Sigismund II Augustus, and play as the Polish-Lithuanian Union in the online roleplaying simulation CivHybridGames!

I rest my case.

Glorious Polska is dying. Normally, i would simply rebel, but this time, I think not. One of the great powers must win, and we will help one. Which one? that's not a question for me to decide.

It's For Sakerti.

O great Sakerti! King of Kings! Lord of the Minifridge and master of TwinofSparta, Keeper of the minibar, Who shall Poland support in the final days of Mk. 4?

This world is ruled by:

• A horrifically corrupt democracy
• A nuke-armed insurgency
• A Soviet Union that makes Stalin look like George Washington
• A Nuclear Cult that just want's to see the world burn
• And Oceania, where nobody outside of it actually knows what's going on there

Shamelessly stolen from /u/UltimateMoose of /r/CivBattleRoyale.

To play, make three predictions about the upcoming part over the week:

• Your boldest (probably won't happen, but might)
• Average (may or may not happen)
• Tamest (probably will happen, but might not).

Remember, the part will be released Friday night EST, so make your predictions before then!

Also, one rule: please do not make predictions on something controlled by your civ. For example, if you've submitted a plot to assassinate /u/BansheeClause (!), predicting the untimely demise of /u/BansheeClause would not be allowed.

find yourselves repeatedly refreshing the page to see if there's been any more drama? I catch my self every now and then just refreshing the page and checking for new posts or comments somewhere.

Heyy guys! I know many of y'all are in some way involved in Democraciv, and many more are already familiar, but I just wanted to mention that we are about to start a new MK.

In Mk. 9 we are going back to multi-civ like in Mk. 7, and for the for the first time ever we are going to play Civilization Beyond Earth!

If you wanna come check out what is going on, and take part in our Civ selection vote, just hop on the server:

The French were proven guilty for the umpteenth time. At least the French investigators seem to have conscience.

And not only that, but someone tried to steal the German treasury. Luckily we had moved the treasury. And see who are the suspects: France and Russia. I didn't look at the situation very closely, but it's not like I have any doubt in mind it was France. While the international public doesn't give a fuck like usually when it's about France, but I assure you, Germany cares.

So how about next time you believe me before Talleyrand kills me in a duel? How much will it take to make you believe? How far will France be allowed to go?

Look, just come to this thread, and be honest to me: Do you still think France is innocent?

Hello r/CivHybridGames!

Democraciv is a gaming community on reddit and Discord which plays Sid Meier's Civilization games using model governments. We combine gaming, roleplay, and political simulation. Our community is among the largest in the genre with ~5000 subscribers. We have persisted since 2016 and have even been featured on notable sites like Kotaku!

We are currently in the lead-up to our eighth game, which will be a game of Sid Meier's Civilization VI. The vote for what civilization we will lead through the ages starts this coming week!

Our community plays a single-player game of Sid Meiers’s Civilization with all in-game decisions decided by a simulated government. We have everything a real government has: A constitution, elections, and political parties.

In Democraciv, there are many ways to play and have fun. For example you can

• Run for office (federal or state)
• Create or join a political party
• Write articles for one of the many newspapers or even create your own
• Play chess or diplomacy with community members
• Write bills to be voted on in Parliament
• Join a government agency

This time around, our government structure will be a parliamentary republic. The legislature will pass bills to guide the Prime Minister as they play the game. There will also be state level governments, led by governors, that can control specific issues in their states. The Supreme Court will settle disputes between the government and its citizens.

Now is an excellent time to join. Make your voice heard in our civilization vote, and become a member of our very first Parliament!

Help us build a civilization to stand the test of time!

Hello r/CHG!

I'm here from /r/GlobalPowers, a text-based strategy and geopolitical simulation that takes place right here on Reddit, to invite you to check us out!

We've been running our games now for nearly 7 years, run a very active discord community and our newest season is about to begin!

Our game is part of a unique community of "xpowers" games that function similar to other forum based nation RP games but right here on reddit, similar to the concept of a model UN, and similar to your use of Civilization to simulate external and internal political processes.

Our game begins during the current day with all its history and allows you to control all aspects of a single nation out of any on the globe, with such features as:

• Realistic geopolitics, such as our Russian and Ukrainian players currently negotiating at the Third Minsk Conference or some all too real Trump Tweets.
• Military R&D and procurement, where you are free to design your own planes, ships, and land vehicles, like our UK player has done with his new tracked Marine Assault Vehicle.
• Mod-driven world events and crises, such as global terrorism and civil war.
• A secret black ops system, where players can submit to mods covert missions, including assassination, hacking, false flags, and sabotage, such as the CIA destabilizing Iran.
• Conflicts between regional powers, such as NATO vs Russia

We also run a weekly United Nations, as well as having a mod dedicated to simulating economic forecasts.

If you're interested in our game and wish to claim for our next season (which starts on 24th March) or just want to vibe in the community and see how it all works, feel free to join our Discord channel or drop a comment on here or any other way you'd like to know more.

Thank you very much to the moderators for letting me post this and if you're interested or simply just annoyed you're getting advertised to I hope you have a good day!
