The Enemy were closing in. George wildly swung around the dual LMGs he held in his hands, mowing down the oncoming forces. Charlie pulled the pin on a grenade and threw it over the fence into what had once been a familiar cityscape. It exploded throwing the enemy across the concrete like fallen leaves.
"Emily!" Brain cried, unrelenting as he tried to push back the onslaught with his deadly rapier. "Emily, its too late I don't think we can hold them off!"
"Prince Brain, if we simply believe in the power of friendship, we can accomplish anything!" She called back dramatically as she sprayed the advancing foe with her high powered laser rifle of doom.
George let our a roar as he was overwhelmed, his twin LMGs not being able to throw out enough bullets to prolong his fate any further. "He's right" said Charlie "General Emily, we must retreat to the great wall!"
Emily stopped firing her laser rifle of doom for a second to consider their surroundings. The enemy were advancing from all sides and there was little they could do - the margin for escape would be slim. "You're right, if we're quick we can get to the great wall and fend them off from there, its our only hope!"
The three of them nodded in agreement and all sprinted in the direction of the great wall, the enemy was clawing at their heels, charlie could feel their breath on the back of his neck. Just as they were about to reach the wall a hand reached out and-
The bell rang loudly across the yard. Emily let out a sigh and she, Brain, George and Charlie trotted over to where class 5K was lining up ready to go back after the break. Miss Kendal got them all to light up nicely and they sounded off their names before they marched back into the classroom.
"Now then 5K." The short teacher said as they were all sat down "The time has come for you all to elect a class representative. Since we've been talking about elections in citizenship these past couple of weeks I thought it would be a great idea if over the next week maybe some of you could run campaigns before the elections. Maybe you could form parties, wouldn't that be fun!"
Emily grinned, finally an opportunity for her to become the true and undisputed leader of 5K.

Imperium OffTopicum: The Quest for Supremacy
Welcome friends to The Quest for Supremacy. Where you will fight it out across the playground for dominance of of the class 5K. In this game you take on the roll of a Year 5 (4th Grade in USA) student at a Primary school during the week leading up to the election of the Class representative. You can use guile, politics and all out playground warfare to make sure that your name gets the most slips of paper when it comes to the elections.
Good luck.
Sign ups
In this game players take on the roles of Year 5 students of the 5K class. This means they are 9-10 year olds. To sign up simply fill in the following form. For the stats you can distribute 10 points between the 5 categories.
Be sure to also mention whether you are intending to run for the Class Representative position.
Rules
5K is a class of 32 students. When the election comes each person will get to vote and whoever has the most of those 32 votes will become the class representative. This action must be posted in the thread. Multiple people can try and work on the same student to try and convert them to their cause. If it comes to a fight the content of the persuasion as well as oration skill will be taken into account.
Each turn represents either a morning break or Lunchtime when the students get out onto the playground. Here they live out fantasy battles filled with heroism and intrigue each player can perform 3 actions.
A list will be given of actions that can be undertaken, but don't consider this list to be limiting, you can always make up your own schemes to try and swing the balance in your favour.
I operate on a degrees of success scheme for most rolls. Where each multiple of 5 over 5 that your roll is is a degree of success. Degrees of success can mean either points of bonus an item or title gives or how successful a custom action is. In a couple of actions is works in multiples of 10 rather than 5. In general it should be clear what I mean from the results posted in the updates.
Of course any other adventurous, imaginative, scheming or otherwise despicable plots will of course be allowed, just send me a PM and I'll make it happen. Also feel encouraged to add some more description to what you'd actually like to do, such as what you're grassing up a student for, what you have imagined or how you try to convince the students to join you. RP has often been described as the lifeblood of IOTs and this is no exception. This game will be made fun by crazy playground shenanigans rather than dry gameplay. I will try and facilitate that in the updates. If your looking for inspirations my main inspirations for this game have been the flavour text for the Civ3 Playground Wars Mod as well as the South Park episode about Game of Thrones and of course my own memories of doing battle alongside my own friends during primary school.
Once sign ups close I will add in the rest of the 32 students as NPCs but they can be claimed at any point by anyone who wants to join in later.

Total War
At any point a character who has a cause with 6 or more people supporting it can declare total war on another cause with 6 or more total followers. These two will battle it out and all characters must take at least 1 action per turn as a combat action. Victory or defeat will result in large dedication changes once the peace has been settled.
NPC Actions
While player get 3 actions per turn NPCs only get 2 1 of which will always be chosen at their liberty and the other can be dictated by the PCs leading the faction. During total war the NPCs will still always have 1 action to choose freely.
