Here's a fun game I heard of.

Each continent begins with 15 cities & 15 War Dollars

Each round you must either:
A) spend a War Dollars on WMDs to destroy 1 continents' city or
B) spend a war dollar rebuilding a city which has been destroyed

You earn 1 War Dollar if you aid in destroying a continent that round, and you earn 2 war dollars if you land the finishing blow.

It's quick, it's simple, it's easy. The winner is the last nation standing. So, it looks to be fun for casual playing. Not much strategy really.

Accepting players.

EDIT: I just realized that the first time the game was made, it wasn't finished. So I'm reducing the amount of War Dollars and Cities.

Each player starts with 3 War Dollars, and 3 Cities.

Im In.  My nation is called "Ashira".

mmm quick calculations:  3*5 = 15.   5 players per continent and I believe 3 continents would be nice so we should need 15 people?

Each round you must either:
A) spend a War Dollars on WMDs to destroy 1 continents' city or
B) spend a war dollar rebuilding a city which has been destroyed

What are the deadlines?   What happens if a player doesnt post?  He randomly does something?

Oh... Advice: edit your title so as to be clear that you're signing up players...

Well, each player gets to control their own continent.

The People's Democratic Socialist People's Liberty Republican Republic of The Congo would like to join, because no one takes us seriously just because half of our population has African Sleeping Sickness and goiter. We'll show you.

We'll show ALLL of you.

Good job. Good job.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS:
Can you spend a war dollar on preventing a city's destruction? Otherwise, won't everyone just pick out a continent to rage at and try to wipe out first-turn?
What if two people target the same continent with a combined total of more nukes than that continent has cities?

Yes you can. That how I would expect the repair mechanic to work.

What if two people target the same continent with a combined total of more nukes than that continent has cities?

Those people just wasted a ton of War Dollars.

But you can also replace cities, I assume?

Well, who gets the continent kill bonus and such? How are the War Dollars for smashed cities divided?

Also, do we post our attacks and repairs secretly or PM them to you?

Well, here's how it works.

Say, The People's Democratic Socialist People's Liberty Republican Republic of The Congo nukes Ashira, spending One War Dollar. Ashira loses one city. On that turn, Ashira may also spend 1 War Dollar, thereby repairing the City that was destroyed. It was as if Ashira never lost the City to begin with.

...Oh dear. I can see the possiblity of people ganging up...

Well, who gets the continent kill bonus and such? How are the War Dollars for smashed cities divided?

Well, the continent kill bonus (2 War Dollars) is given to the Nation that nuked the LAST CITY on the continent, and that there are no more cities left, and nobody repairs it. if you assisted in smashing the Continent, before the LAST CITY is nuked, you receive 1 War Dollar. After the LAST CITY is nuked (and not rebuilt), no other nukes counts.

Also, do we post our attacks and repairs secretly or PM them to you?

Post them in the thread.

Always holding us back. Always ruining our accomplishments.

Damn them. Damn them to hell.

[Pandarsenic]

Post them in the thread.

Well, that removes several other problems.

Are we going to do a no-edit rule so people can't "Reserve" posts all over and then edit them to ninja the continent bonuses and retroactively react to other attacks?

Also, will we be able to post actions in parts? Like, say I send 5 nukes at the Armok Alliance and The People's Democratic Socialist People's Liberty Republican Republic of The Congo responds by sending 5 at me. Am I then allowed to add a repair action and deny him his bonuses?

One more. Say I spent all my money for the turn, but I'm about to efface someone from the planet. Can I rebuild cities the turn after?

There's also a lot of possibility for everyone to run out of money, here.

Say two people each spend all 15 of their War Dollars - one is attacking the other, one is repairing everyone.

They are now both helpless forever.

In fact, it seems that a stalemate is the only reasonable end, unless you have some way of getting War Dollars back faster. If you wipe someone from the face of the planet, you only get 2 dollars back... If they keep even one city, you get nothing.

[Sean Mirrsen]

They can't rebuild a city if they have no more cities. If you nuke the last city, you get 2 WD's and the enemy cannot rebuild even if he spent a WD on rebuilding that turn. Also, as long as one attacks another they cannot run out of WDs. If you attack, you get a WD. If you defend, you don't. So attacking is "free" - because you get your resources back, unless you attack the same continent more than once. Defending isn't. If 2 players spend their last WDs on a massive attack against the cities of each other, and survive, they each get left with 1 WD. At this point, the game is decided - whoever has more cities wins. If anyone of them spends their last WD on defence, they will be left resourceless, so they can only attack.

Except you don't a War Dollar for killing a city, so far as I can see. Only when the continent/player dies.

On everyone running out of money,how about a 'cash reboot',basically everyone is given starting funds to continue the mindless slaughter.
