IOT Developmental Thread

Thats actually not that bad an idea, to have a religious head that can do things like excommunication and call crusades, depending on the time period. At the very least he would hold significant influence both in elections and in the political arena itself.

TK would you be interested in such a position or will we have to suffer Jeho demanding it?

I respectfully disagree, if someone wants that power they should try and get it themselves (like Ravus in RP I) rather than have it abritrarily handed to them at the start of the game. It's your game though you can do what you like.

If all else fails we can have two religious heads; either a pope and antipope excommunicating each other, two different religious sects or two different religions.

 

[W|M]

That would result in a failed mess

But as Dwarf Fortress has educated us all "losing is fun!"

 

[W|M]

Doesn't apply as much when the game barely even gets off the ground

 

[Ailedhoo]

...but the Emperor Barbarossa scenario we could have...

Wait: different religious sects or religions need not equate instability; in fact having two would balance the power in some form.

Still: whatever happens, be it one or many heads, TK must be a religious head! It is only accurate to honor his divine status.

Pretty sure the point of the game is being missed entirely.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The point of the game is to have TK chosen as our messiah!

 

[Tyo]

can we not

You know the joke went too far when the fool alone believes it.

What would you guys think of a game surrounding the winning of districts (as opposed to territories) in political elections (as opposed to war). Haven't ironed out any of the details yet, but if anyone thinks this type of game would be successful here I would like to try and start one.

Yes. Would play.

 

[Red_Spy]

I would as well.

 

[dot80]

I'll begin work then. Stay tuned. Want to get everyone's opinion before I try to launch.

You may mean a realpolitik.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I would enjoy a electoral IOT.

What nation will we be playing? Will it be a fictional nation, a real one, one made up of several or a dormant one?

I will look forward to take part in this electoral campaign game!

Platonic party y/n

 

[Ailedhoo]

Platonic party y/n

I was thinking of waiting and seeing the nation we are going to be partying for before deciding whether my motto will be "Viva la revolution!," "JUSTICE," "a chicken in every pot and vice verse" or what ever I may come up with.

 

[Civ'ed]

Ok so I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade... And I have a plan for a new IOT.
You know how most IOTs start after the apocalypse? Well...
Announcing (no title yet), the IOT taking place when a bioweapon decimates Europe!

 

[CivOasis]

Just Europe?

...interesting.
