I am trying to get Thorsten to move the date later, since I think it is a silly week to have it as it clashes.
I'd like as many of us to enter as possible :) It's a bit of an odd topic, but hey, he's German :P
The Premier is a "Jones in the Fast Lane"-style simulation where players must participate and take chances in a corrupt government. The player is a newly elected official in charge of running a municipality and must balance supporting the constituents needs while corroborating with suspect lobbyists and must embezzle funds to have the most personal wealth at the end of their term. The player must select which tenders to employ to implement public works, vote on matters in the council, choose how to respond to escalating situations in the municipality and what message to give out to the media.
