Would anyone like to play a succession game of Aurora? Sort of Boatmurdered in Space, if you know what I mean. One player starts the game and plays for a couple of years; five, perhaps, more for the first players. Then he sends the zipped database to the next player, who now takes over the presidency (or the crown, or the Grand-Poobah-ship, or whatever it is).
Being the new El Presidente means, of course, that he's free to ignore all plans and intentions of his predecessors and implement a totally new, better, saner policy. Abandon Mars. Scrap the missile boats. Reforms!
The president would have to write an ongoing AAR, perhaps with yearly reports in the forum, unless absolutely nothing happened that year. That might be the case during the first couple of years. It would be good if he could post a screenshot now and then, for the benefit of the general public.
There shouldn't be a strict time limit to finish a mandate, but it would be good if the player could finish his term in a week or two, depending of course on what happens. If you know that Real Life (tm) will prevent you from finishing your turn, please post a message (and the turn file - the forum does allow file uploads in *.zip format).
Newbies are welcome, but please apply only if you're sure that you'll actually play.
And a little roleplaying would add a little spice, I imagine. Remember, you're the president. Nobody can fire you, just because you're incompetent or insane.

Update: The game has begun, the AAR is in a different thread in this subforum. That's the order of players so far
