How does voting work?

I tried to figure it out but I find it's confusing.
I can give a value between 1st and 5th to every option.
What if I don't give a value to an option?

Hello!

I joined LT18 game,the game started but what to do now?
I have freeciv version 2.1.9.

How to play?
Thanks.

Its my first time playing a Civ game online and TBH ive only played some SMAC SP before so i need to ask one thing regarding any other Civ game(including FreeCiv):

Hi

I just recently came along this page and it is exactly what I was looking for.
I read in several posts on LT13 and LTXIII and that one has to sign in to play.

Where do I do that?

i have 3 questions 1. do i need to download any specific version of free civ? 2. where do i find login info for a server (lt7 lt8) 3. is there any chance of there being a noob guide coming out soon? (btw i already have the most recent beta and know how to play should i switch to stable?)
