Hi all, this is a new Realpolitik hosted by me.
I (We) will be playing as Gandhi of India on my modified earth 18 civ map. The reason I chose Gandhi is because I think he is one of the most balanced leaders in terms of war/peace in the game. He is Spiritual (War) and Philosophical (Peace). His UB replaces the Jail (War) and his UU is the only non-combat one in the game (Peace). See what I mean?
About the map, I have put some leaders in their historical places, some will not be on their proper spots, but they will be in the general gist of the area (e.g Sitting Bull in N.America) and some will be completely A-historical.
This is going to be very similar to LHs Realpolitik, but I will add some more rules/actions. Nothing that will effect the game much though.
Talking about rules, here they are! (New stuff is in BOLD)
- I as host reserve the right to veto any action any player wishes to undertake: To consolidate the stability of the AAR, to stop interference with the normal functioning of the thread or simply because I feel like it. Don't mess with The Man.
- Rule #1 of Realpolitik: Democracy is absolute. Even when the Nazis or communists are elected into office, they will still have to answer to the opposition and face elections every turnset.
- Any member is free to establish or join a political party of his choice. A member can only be member of one party at a time, although he is free to switch allegiance whenever he sees fit.
- I am going to ask everyone to use their own nicknames at all times when playing or in story updates they write. This is to avoid confusion. Exceptions are full names, I.E. arya126's John Arya Armitage, but he must always be referred to in short as Arya.
-The first term will last 50 turns, the 2nd and 3rd terms will last 25 turns and the rest will be twenty. This is on Normal BTW.
- The first election will be in about one week. During the week, I'll grant the right to all parties to organize, unite and campaign to get as many people as they can to vote. Note that everyone registered on the CivFanatics forums is eligible to vote.
- Parties are allowed to form coalitions. At the end of an election, all votes are tallied and the party or coalition with the largest % of votes wins the election.
- The parties that did not win will be sent to opposition, where they can comment on the policy of the leading faction. I will monitor opposition closely, and the leading players have to understand that failing to appease the public will lead to us penalizing INDIA in-game (improvement deletion, raised unhappiness). It is therefore very important to listen to the public, who can demand re-elections as well.
- If the opposition is strong enough, they can call for a General Strike, a Vote of No Confidence, or if things get REALLY ugly, an Armed Revolution,
- The winning party or coalition will come into office the in-game update after the elections. They will have to put forward three leading figures for the government: A national leader, military minister and domestic minister. These three people, backed up by their party members, will be responsible for making decisions in-game. I will PM the leader personally before each play session, where he has to dictate to me the course Britain takes. You can place others in government as well, up to a maximum of ten people.
- An independent(non-party) can run for any position save that of the President of the Republic. To run for office, simply state as much in the thread.
- Elections can be ended early if one side concedes defeat, but their starting strength will be lowered and they will gain it much slower.
- Every reader (including players) has two votes in the elections. Putting in two votes for a single party is not allowed. However, if parties want to play it smart they'll seek coalition with a like-minded party so players can put two votes into their front.
- The host (Ninja Cow) retains full rights to ban any party that has violated these rules. Spamming parties, parties using a complaint generator, parties inciting hate or parties that are found obtrusive for the normal functioning of this thread will be banned from the elections indefinitely.
- Please refrain from PMing me for every Realpolitik-related issue. Alternatives are using the profile visitor comments, or simple commenting in the thread.
- You cannot change your vote once it is cast, but you can withdraw your party from a coalition and join another one mid-elections.
- By voting, joining a party or performing any other form of interaction with this AAR, you declare that you have read and understood these rules to the letter. I don't want to be a jerk guys, so keep it clean!
