This is a heavily simplified version of the Conquest of Island game (which turned out to  be way too complicated to be fun).

Rules:

Spoiler: Action Points (click to show/hide)

Action Points (AP) are what allows you to actually "do" stuff.
Each player may collect up to 30 action points.
Each player who hasn't reached maximum action points recessives 1 action point each hour, on the hour by forum clock- your post's time stamp is sued to determine how many action points you have at that point.
All players start with 10 AP when the GM says "the game has started" in bold font (not when you register or first post or when the GM posted the rules).
Each player has a resposibility to keep track of their own AP, and is required to post how many AP they think they have at the time of the post.
Actions are carried out when they are posted- the first person to post a contradicting action is the one who succeeded.
A declared action which you don't have the action points for, or that is impossible to carry out will be ignored (won't happen, and you won't lose points).
Editing a post is considered cheating (even if it occurs before the next person posts), and will be dealt with in accordance with what the GM thinks you're trying to achieve- honest mistakes may be forgiven, repeated violation punished by AP reduction and evidence of malicious editing with replacement by another player. Be warned, GM will err on the side of paranoia.

Spoiler: actions (click to show/hide)

The following actions are available to players:
Recruit (5AP): Place a unit (of any strength 1-9) on an unoccupied cell near your base. If you didn't own the cell you do now. You may not recruit a unit if you don't have the territory to support it.
Move (1AP): move a unit you own 1 cell horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally!) into an unoccupied cell. If you didn't own the cell where the unit is moving, you do now. You retain ownership of the cell from which the unit has moved.
Attack (1 AP): move a unit 1 cell horizontally or vertically into a cell which contains an enemy unit of equal or lower strength.
If the units are of equal strength, both are destroyed.
If your unit had more strength, the other unit is destroyed, and yours goes down 1 strength. You gain ownership of the cell.
you cannot attack a unit of higher strength.
Disband (0 AP): destroy a unit you own. you retain ownership of it's cell.
Siege (1 AP): choose an enemy base vertically adjacent to your units whose strength adds up to 10 or more. The base and it's owner sre removed from the game, and you get all their units and territory.

Spoiler: territory (click to show/hide)

Your other resource is territory- simply the amount of cells on the map which are of your color (you "own" them).
Territory allows you to recruit and maintain units. You may only recruit units if the new total of all your unit's strengths is equal or under your total territory size. The same way, at the end of your turn (post) the total of all your units strengths mist be equal or under your total territory size. This may involve disbanding excess units.
You gain territory by moving your units into new cells, and lose it when an enemy moves into your cells.
NB: Units only have to be disbanded at the end of a player's turn. Plan accordingly.

Spoiler: starting the game (click to show/hide)

First all players must choose a starting location and their color. No player may choose to start less then 5 moves (vertical and horizontal, but not diagonal) from another player.
At the beginning of the game each player owns his base's cell and the 4 (or less for border) cells directly horizontally and vertically adjacent.

Spoiler: ending the game (click to show/hide)

The game ends when only 1 player is left standing.

Spoiler: making a turn (click to show/hide)

In order to make a turn, write down what orders you gave, copy the previous poster's map, and add the changes your orders made.
Additionally write down how many AP you had at the start and finish, as well as how much territory you have.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I think I'll join in.

[mastahcheese]

I shall once again observe your game, a1s. Perhaps I shall join if nobody else shows interest.

Alright, I'll add you to the replacement list.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'll join. Now I'll read the rules.

[WhitiusOpus]

I shall watch. Waitlist meh.

[mastahcheese]

Ah, you took out that "splitting" rule you had in the first one. I really liked the concept of that, but I can understand why you removed it.

I may steal that concept for a future game.

Yeah, I've been about it for a while, but couldn't find a good game to place it in (I don't run all that many games).
I'd also appreciate if you would PM me if you make that game- I'll probably want to be in it.

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, sure, I'd do that.
Probably won't happen for a good while, though, I'm not even updating my current games at the moment.

[a1s]

So, I'm going to guess that we're not getting any more players (actually I forgot about this thread  ). Do people who signed up (My Name is Immaterial, GreatWyrmGold and mastahcheese) still want to play?

[darkpaladin109]

I might play. I'l read over the rules later.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm still in.

[mastahcheese]

I'd be in, but I'm handling a bit too much stuff for something as intensive as this right now.
