WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DEMOCRACY GAMES!?

I started my forum posting back in the days when Civilization 3 was just released and I found this absolutely awesome concept of Democracy Games(it consumed my life). With Civ3 being a lot more formula related and ALOT more simpler then TW with battles. It was easy to have a lot of people vote and put forth proposals to see what will happen in the actual game with elected representatives to fulfil the approved proposals in certain departments(eg:micromanagement and battles) and the post a report and saved game for everyone to review. Everything was poll related so there was no one person who could alter the outcome without everyone's approval. It was amazing to see how good a game could perform with so many minds determining the outcome of the next turn and cool roleplay that people participated in to make the game more of an adventure. They always take a bit to get off the ground but once users see that there is a bit of interest they usually want to jump aboard a manned ship already.

Does anyone have any interest in starting a game like this? I know I am and would be more then happy to contribute a hell of a lot of time to get this off the ground. The only problem I see is the battle side of things requiring a lot more skill then just predetermining the outcome like on Civilization and watching status bars drop till their dead. One idea I have here is people can assume the roles of Generals and therefore assume control of their battles?

Be more then happy to here your thoughts please?
