Nuclear War IV - Signup thread

Adagio · January 11, 2004, 09:34

Each player starts with 3 cities, and may perform 1 order each turn. Orders should be sent to me through:

ICQ: 87239215 (Preffered)
PM
MSN Messanger: a_grau @ hotmail.com

(When orders has been sent, please post a “sent” msg in the thread, to make sure I have received the order).

If you don’t send any orders for a turn, you wont be auto-set to do something (I wont deflect for you, I wont do anything for you... ), and since I post a msg from time to time in the forum about who’s still missing to send orders, people can see who’s open to receive nukes, so be sure to send them

If you don’t send your orders there’s consequenses. Unless you can come up with a good reason BEFORE you’re missing your orders (i.e. if you’re going on vacation tell us BEFORE you leave, not when you get home)

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# of turns missed: Consequenses:
1: nothing
2: You’ll lose one city this round
3: You’ll lose two cities this round
4: ---------you’re got Wasted--------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each turn takes about 24 hours (Ending at 9 pm GMT each day) (Though there might be some changes, so don’t count on it being ready every day at this time... maybe it’ll be earlier, maybe later). If I have received all orders before time runs out, the turn has ended and I’ll post the results early

1 hour before ending, people who have sent their orders wont be able to change it, unless you have issued a spy mission

Spy missions doesn’t count as an order: e.g. you can sabotage an enemy and nuke him in the same turn. Each player starts with one spy

Orders:

Launch Nukes:
The player can launch two nukes. The nukes can be launched at different players or they can be launched to the same player

Stockpile Nukes:
When stockpiling nukes you can launch 4 nukes instead of 2 at some time. You can't stockpile stockpiled nukes, the max # of nukes is 4. You don't have to use the stockpiled nukes the following turn. If you've got stockpiled nukes and want to nuke someone, but not using the stockpiled nukes, is fine with me.

Deflect:
When deflecting nukes to a certain player, each second nuke* will be sent to another player (Which has to be included in the orders). The nukes which get deflected is: 1, 3, 5… while 2, 4, 6… will hit

Hide in bunker:
Each player has one bunker. When used, ALL nukes gets destroyed (Not deflected). When used, the bunker is unavailable.

Train a new spy:
Just like it sounds. (Each nation starts with one spy)

Build City:
You get one extra city.

Sabotage (Spy):
When using sabotage on another player, the other players orders will be cancelled. This kills the spy used

Observe (Spy):
When using a spy to observe a player, the other player gets information about the other player’s orders. The spy only dies if the other player is being nuked the same turn.

Because of lack of participitation in earlier games, Nuclear Master and Sheep wont participitate

If you post a "sent" msg in the thread, but I don't recieve any orders, I'll auto-set you to train a spy (Of course I'll send you a msg that I didn't recieve your orders)

When 3+ leaders have lost their country, they have 1 nuke together, where they may vote for who to nuke. The player who gets the most votes (or in case of a tie, the player who's got the first vote) gets the nuke.
These voting orders may be posted public (For the love of dogpiling

), or they may be sent private (For a surprise attack)
If a player doesn't post/send-PM votes, there's a chance this player will be included in the story, making this player unable to vote in future votings... active voters wont be taken though.
When there's two players left, there wont be any more votings...

Who's in?

Skanky Burns · January 11, 2004, 10:10

ME!

And you mis-spelt doc-piling.

Space05us · January 11, 2004, 10:28

ME!

DrSpike · January 11, 2004, 10:43

I'm in.

Btw you copied those rules from the last game, even those we later agreed were bad. For instance we vetoed the not building 2 cities in a row rule. I don't know if there are others.

Also remove the comment about NM and Sheep.

Adagio · January 11, 2004, 12:38

I thought I did post a small msg that I just copied the rules, so if anyone found any errors please tell

Will edit right away...

...and the reason why I still have the NM and Sheep comment is to warn others about what happens if you don't play the game as you said you will

mrmitchell · January 11, 2004, 13:29

I'll sign up

One question though: Are we supposed to communicate and cooperate with each other or just randomly fire and hope we don't get blown to bits?

DrSpike · January 11, 2004, 13:52

It's up to you.

Adagio · January 11, 2004, 13:55

If you want a chance to win the game, it might be wise to do some diplomacy

/me takes a look at an earlier Nuclear War game

... and for your sake: Don't try to nuke your allies

Jamski · January 11, 2004, 14:24

I want in. Ok... time for some diplomacy. Who wants to join my team of insane people?

-Jam

mrmitchell · January 11, 2004, 14:25

Ah, so we are to diplomicate. Thanks!

Mrmitchell, leader of the cities Bjrgzk, Swsmi, and Ttti, extends an offering of peace to everyone who might accept.

DrSpike · January 11, 2004, 14:37

I will sign a non-aggression pact with you MrMitchell.........say for the first 4 rounds to start with?

Adagio · January 11, 2004, 14:46

All diplomacy records doesn't have to be posten openly of course

Like ADG said, it's up to you, although I did manage to win last round without doing much in the way of diplomacy (until the end, anyway

).

Of course, if someone can (and wants to

) make a better site (as template), I'll use that... the updating I'll do myself

/me looking back at NWII
/me seeing all the silly alliances formed

I HEREBY ANNOUNCE THE MRMITCHELL ALLIANCE

All members will not attack each other in any way, and will gaurantee to fight together against anyone who attacks any member of the Alliance

Jamski · January 13, 2004, 04:55

Possibly the funniest thing you've ever said.
