I've got an idea of a forum role play, that may or may not work. I guess I'll need about 6 volunteers to take part. The idea is that players take the role of a leader of a country, and use diplomacy to see what happens. Once iv got the volunteers, players will be given a list of country's to choose from (first come first served). So be aware you may need to look into how a country might react to reflect real life. I will post a scenario with the country list. So, volunteers please

Knew I could count on you BG Foster!
Slight change to the plan though, I am only going to ask for 3 players to join. That way we can see if it works without being over complicated.

Happy days
Right, the three country's to choose from are all in the Middle East which hopefully make things easy to play out. So, the choices are:
Iran Turkey Israel
Make your choice below and I'll set up an playing thread. This will be out of role for questions / answers etc.
Good luck

No clues as to what we have to DO or some ground rules? If not then i just nuke everyone and win

Well, the question is do you actually have nukes? It's rumoured, so you could flatly deny researching WMDs, or you could put the nutss up the world and tell us you have them.
This is a trial and error game so might be a bit all over till we get things ironed out.

right, from the first post iran should be looking at how to respond to the potentially hostile act. And turkey should ber thinking if they want to avoid their neighbours going to war or not. All countrys need to think how there population are reacting and what can be done to keep them on side.
Finally, I will be adding problems to add to the political argument.

Sounds funky Soap, looking forward to it

Post by Adkenpachi on Nov 12, 2012 7:56:08 GMT -5
Heh, the idea was a bit vague to begin with... Coupled with the fact ive never done this stuff before confused me. I think i get it now but is there a goal or will that come later or will we have our own goals like turkey wants global domination and all iran wants is peace

Post by The Hawk! on Nov 12, 2012 8:06:03 GMT -5
Iran... Peace?! Do those 2 words even make sense in that context? o.O Lol, anyhow, how I saw it was that the best Defensive move is an offensive move But seeing as neither me or Adkenpachi are not the rulers of either country..... We should have fun blowing the nuts out of eachother

The idea is you play the role of a countries leader, and must work out the best way for your county to prosper for you're own agenda.
They is no objective, but once any flaws have been found and ironed out then I will start a new game with more players, and they will be objectives.

Ok cool. I like the idea of a GM sending us goals either just one at the start or periodicly. For now i shal make up my own ... Muahahahaha!

Well that's also what players should do as well as set missions, only try to guess what would happen in r/l

Can I get in on this as Saudi Arabia?

Post by Soap on Nov 13, 2012 1:51:16 GMT -5
Yeah!
I'd also like to add, players should refrain from playing god. For example when you attack, you don't say how the attack went, I'll report the result of the attack. Also, if you wish something to happen in secret, it should go through pm to me.

Looks like this has ran into dead ground. Any ideas on how to keep it alive? More players maybe? Or just give it up as a bad joke?
