Mechanics
[Game Phases]
This game will be divided into traditional day and night phases as well as a series of levels of “military alertness,” known as DEFCON. The levels and their various characteristics are as follows:
DEFCON 5 – Normal readiness – 72 hours.
a) Discussion and confirmation only. Votes cannot yet be cast.
DEFCON 4 – Increased intelligence watch and strengthened security measures – 72 hours.
a) Discussion only. Votes cannot yet be cast.
b) Players must PM me whether they choose to deploy a missile silo, offensive troops, or defensive troops. You only get one choice, and it is permanent for the entire game.
DEFCON 3 – Increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness – Two weeks or until lynch.
a) Players may cast votes.
b) Following a lynch, a night phase lasting approximately 48 hours will occur.
c) During night phases, players may use any activated abilities they have.
d) All militaries switch to encrypted callsigns. Players with private communication channels may still talk openly at any time, but any messages sent during the day phase have a 10% chance of their contents being intercepted and posted publically in the thread.
DEFCON 2 – Further increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness – Two weeks or until lynch.
a) All non-NATO factions gain the following shared activated ability: Stealth Bomber {Kill target player}.
b) All other characteristics are identical to DEFCON 3.
DEFCON 1 – Maximum readiness – Two weeks or until lynch.
a) Nuclear launch becomes available to all players deploying missile silos in nuclear launch mode.
b) The game continues as normal in this DEFCON, cycling through the night and day phases, until a win condition has been achieved.
c) All other characteristics are identical to DEFCON 2.
[DEFCON Specific Procedures]
During DEFCON 4, players choose what forms of military they wish to deploy - a missile silo, offensive troops, OR defensive troops.
An unlimited number of players may choose to deploy a missile silo. If you choose to deploy a missile silo, you must place it into one of the following two modes. During the night phase, you may PM the mod and change the mode the silo is in.
Missile silo:
Nuclear launch mode: As a nuclear power, you are equipped to unleash a wave of destruction like no other upon the world. {Once per day, if the game is in DEFCON 1, you may attempt to kill another player by posting the command Nuke: in the thread. It will take 72 hours for any nuke to hit its target. Players may abort nuclear launches by posting the command Abort nuclear launch up to 48 hours after launch; if you abort, you will not be able to fire again until the following day. Launches continue regardless of whether the game is in day or night phase, or whether the launching player is still alive (note, however, that if the game enters night phase, a launch cannot be recalled as the thread will be locked)}.
Anti-Ballistic missile mode: The ABM missile systems are counter-ICBM rockets designed to shoot down incoming enemy warheads. {If deployed, you will be protected against the first nuclear launch against you each day.}
If you choose to deploy troops, you must choose whether to deploy them offensively, which grants you an activated ability, or defensively, which grants you a passive ability. Active abilities can be used during the night phase; passive abilities are constantly in effect. Unlike missile silos, which can switch between firing modes, armies take significant time to deploy. Your initial choice is permanent for the entire game.
Only one instance of each activated and passive abilities exists. If multiple players desire the same ability, a randomization system will be used to distribute it. It is highly recommended that you send a list of multiple choices ranked by preference in case you do not receive your first choice. If you do not send me a preference by the time DEFCON 3 begins (either because you sent me nothing OR you sent only a single activated ability choice and you did not win it), a missile silo will in nuclear launch mode will automatically be deployed for you.
Available Activated Abilities:
Fighter: The fast and lightweight fighter is easily able to penetrate enemy territory, making it the perfect craft for reconnaissance {I will reveal to you whether target player has deployed a missile silo, offensive troops, or defensive troops}.
Espionage: Knowing is half the battle, and when a nation needs to know, it relies on its clandestine organizations like the CIA, MI6, or the KGB to get the job done. {Choose a faction you are not aligned with. I will reveal to you whether target player is aligned with that faction or not.}
Special Ops Strike: In order to carry out a successful nuclear strike, it is crucial to ensure the missile will not be deflected and the enemy left unscathed and free to retaliate. Special infiltration teams are secretly positioned in every enemy nation, read to make sure this happens when the brass gives the word. {If target player is currently deploying a missile silo in anti-ballistic missile mode, destroy it. If that player is not, I will reveal to them that you targeted them with this ability.}
Aircraft Carrier: The monstrous aircraft carrier is capable of parking itself just outside territorial waters, allowing it to shoot down enemy troops or ICBMs before they leave enemy territory and become a threat to the globe. {Choose one: All abilities activated by target player fail; OR during the following day, prevent all nuclear launches made by target player.}
Battleship: Mobile, hidden in the wide open sea away from population centers, capable of withstanding even the most directed air strikes, and armed with an array of incredibly powerful weapons, a battleship is one of the safer places on the planet {If a player would be eliminated because of a single non-nuclear activated ability, that player survives instead}.
Radar: The night may be dark, but your radar screen is neon green. And it’s hard to miss stuff flashing in neon green. {I will inform you of who target player targets, if anyone. Note: The Stealth Bomber is a shared activated ability and cannot be detected.}
Available Passive Abilities:
Submarine: A submerged nuclear submarines can survive for months without surfacing and can creep incredibly close to enemy shores without being detected. {On the first day of DEFCON 1, you may launch a nuclear weapon without revealing yourself as the aggressor. For the rest of the game, you may launch nuclear weapons as though you possessed a missile silo in nuclear launch mode.}
Eavesdrop: A crucial part of the Allies’ success during WWII was its ability to crack into German communications. It worked then. Why wouldn’t it work now? {In DEFCON 3 or below, every time a member of an opposing faction communicates with another member of its faction privately during the night, there is a 5% chance the message will be intercepted and its contents PM’d to you. During the day, this possibility increases to 30%.}
Air base: Capable of deploying a wide variety of response aircraft within seconds and fortified to the brink, any infrastructure surrounding the air base becomes incredibly difficult to penetrate. {You are immune to non-nuclear activated abilities except the Stealth Bomber.}
Fail Safe: Courtesy of Dr Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb {If you are targeted by a player with a nuclear launch, you automatically launch a nuclear weapon targeting the player targeting you. Your launch cannot be recalled or prevented}.
Remember, this is a game. It is meant to be played and it is meant to be fun. Do your part and enjoy yourself, and feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions. Good luck!
