After some discussion in chat, a few of us came to the idea of running a CFC Model UN, which would be held strictly in an SG.
Long story short, each person who wished to play would take on the role of a UN delegate from one single RL nation, which, at the start of the game, must come from the current list of UN member states. There would then be a variety of committees, motions, etc., which would be what players create and actually do.
The game would progress solely within the SG, with the GM (and I have volunteered to be the first, if this idea takes off) keeping track of updates and lists for all to see. The game world would be able to diverge from RL, with contemporary RL events being drawn into the game, if, of course, previous actions have not averted them in the Alt-World.
Of course, in order to do this, we need some rules. A good place to start is the RL MUN, but there's an issue - I live about 170 km from the nearest major uni, and about 350 from the closest major city, so I've never actually participated in an MUN.
That's where you guys come in. This thread is where we'll work on the rules (and, if we can think of any that are necessary, mechanics) of such a game. I would like to state in advance that, while I'm not interested in a CityIOT or Into the Fire level of comedy/chaos, I don't think this needs to be nearly as hardcore as RL MUN.
So, with that, let the discussion begin.
