Secretary
Of Mix and Match!
What is this?You take over a civ and lead it to victory though history.
What's the catch?You all control one civ. Each person belongs to a department and can only control that aspect of civilizations? To keep it simple, there will be five departments. There are win conditions for each department and some lose conditions as well. Maintain your department’s power and public image while debasing those of others.
Departments?Department of DefenseControl external and internal defense
Department of ProductionControl construction, production and employment.
Department of EconomyControl money, value and trade
Department of ScienceControl technology, innovation and education
Department of CultureControl culture, religion, and tourism
How do I play?This will be a turn based game. There will be a multiple of 5 people playing (5, 10, 15 oh my), for balance.
Every Department has their own terms and actions that they can do. There is also a general terms and action list that everyone can use.
Every turn you can perform 1 action and 1 combination.
CombinationCombine 2 terms to try to make a new one. Not always successful. Hint: if it doesn’t make sense logically, it might not work.
Sometimes a catalyst term is required in order to for a combination to work, requiring 3 words for a reaction to work. The catalyst just needs to exist for a combination to work. So combinations result in the same thing.
ActionDo an action from one of your departments powers. This usually changes or adds an aspect to life.
Joint CombinationAsk a Department to lend one of their terms while offering one of your own. When this happens, the receiving end of the offer can reject it.
Joint ActionAsk a Department to perform a specific Joint Action that you propose. Joint operations the specialties of both departments in order to be completed. When this happens, the receiving end of the offer can reject it.
RejectionSeveral different types of rejection:
Denouncement- Affects the public opinion of either you or them, by increasing or decreasing. Affected by public image, power and hilarity of insult. An insult is required.
Rebuttal- Affects the power of either you or them, by increasing or decreasing. Affected by power, public opinion and wit of rebuttal. A witty rebuttal is required.
Declination-Simply decline and nothing happens. Rarely, a slight increase in public opinion would occur.
Rejections or acceptations are "passive" and don't count as a action.How can I win?We cannot all win.
Only one department can win.
You win by obtaining a win condition.
Win conditions basically make the entire nation represented by that one aspect. Example: a great nation of wealth, a dominantly military state, a scientific empire!
We can all lose.
We lose by obtaining a lose condition.
If that happens the GM wins.
Feel free to ask any questions, I’m pretty sure I missed a whole lot of information.
