So, now that I'm sure the WW game will survive long with or without my presence, I decided that I want to try to introduce another forum game here, something that will be more longer but at the same time could be more fun.
This game is called the Dictator, although if you know it I must warn you that I made some modification to make it more bearable and a little more complexed.
The game will start with one player randomly chosen that will be the Dictator, while the others will pick the other roles, that are:
The economy will start at 1.000$ and with 70$/turn of initial spending. 500$ will be given every unnatural dictator death, 200$ every natural one.
If the economy is in red after a Dictator death or abdication, debts will be reset.
As you see, it may seem complexed, but it's indeed very easy once tried. The game is not supposed to end actually, being always hard to remain Dictator for 10 full turns.
The objective of the game is indeed that, become Dictator and die of natural death. If you succeeds, you will exchange place with the secret police and will be remembered in the hall of fame.
If an assassination or a rebellion succeeds (they are calculated by simply the power, in case of tie the Dictator wins) the player will exchange place with the Dictator and the game will continue.
If the Dictator power goes to 0, he will be killed by a general rebellion, and will switch place with the secret police. The power will then be restored to 5.
At any point, anyone can abdicate or switch places, or change with an outsider that will take his place. Watch out that abdication doesn't give any economic bonus, only the game reset.
How to assassinate:
Assassinations can be brought against Army or the Dictator, and provides a quick way to make the infamous exchange in case you don't believe you have the support of the other factions. Assassinate the army makes them lose half of their power, but remember your power must be superior of that of the Army to assassinate their leader, and open the way to revolution.
To assassinate the Dictator, you must be superior to the secret police power and of course the Dictator power, not summed together.
How to rebel:
Rebellion is the classic way to kill the dictator. Rebels face against the Army power (if is not the army rebelling, then half the secret police power) plus the Dictator power.
Rebels can be joined together by other faction to augment their power, but take count that ONLY the leader will be named Dictator. Why penalties in case of failure? You may try to trick a faction into launching a rebellion and not support them later to have your own chance to kill the Dictator, or just take one fail to power down the army.
Dictator Power up costs:
Some of the sides require economy other than the Dictator decision to change the value, but can be also toned down to recover the same value. You lose money only if the point is lost.
So, questions? I admit this is my first try to make this work, it may fail epically, but if I managed to create a WW trend here, I might manage to create something good else too.
