Would anyone be interested in this?

It would 2-4 empire (depending on amount of interest) hotseat game run by me. There would be multiple players in each empire who manage different aspects determined by their role. Another (possible) mechanic I would like to add in is salaries which are basically interplayer currency, more on that later


Primary Roles

x3 Territorial Magistrates/Governors -
Salary = Total colonial production ouput OR food output + 1/2 colonial monetary output + 2bc
Own and run colonies. Uses their salary to pay maintenance, rush build, and hire assistants(colony leaders). They have 1 vote in issues dealing with tax rates, diplomacy, and research.

x3 Fleet admirals -
Salary = 1bc per crew level per ship + 2
Direct fleets and engage in combat. Fleet size is limited to 1/4 of total command points available. Once all command points are consumed, additional ships may be added into their fleet so long as the upkeep cost is paid. Aside from upkeep, salaries are used to pay for building contracts with colony leaders, hire ship officers, and purchase ships from other admirals. They have 1 vote in issues dealing with diplomacy and research.

Additionally players (except for the Emperor) may be impeached from their roles by unanimous vote.

Secondary Roles

The Emperor-
Has +1 (+2 in dictatorships) votes in all issues. Does not have to pay building maintenance or ship upkeep.

Intelligence Director-
Dictates placement of spies as defensive agents or tech stealers/saboteurs.

Diplomatic Ambassador-
Sends diplomatic proposals to other empires via PM to me.

Head of Research Dept.-
Has +1 vote on research issues.

The game will be run on a message board I set up for this specific game and each empire will have exclusive access to one board/topic. One update will be 10 turns (1 game year) so players should give multiple orders.

I will give more specifics on stuff like race selection and ship customization if there is enough interest.

How about keeping the Interstellar RTD running instead?

I'm not really interested in MOO2, since I don't usually play it... but if you could get your hands on, say, Imperium Galactica 2, maybe that could be interesting.

[Lear]

I do intend to keep it going and it will take precedence over this. Also I don't have IG2 and I was looking for a way to put a new spin on MoOII and not have to deal with the erratic ai. I'm gonna be playing MoOII anyways.. 

[Lear]

I know it's been less than 6 hours but.. anyone?

I'm also curious as to just how many people on this forum actually play MoOII?

[Pandarsenic]

I don't really know what it is. The name is familiar though.
<_<;

[Lear]

It's pretty much one of my favorite games ever. It's a 4X set in space where you build and direct the growth of your colonies and fleets through production and research.

... My description doesn't really do it justice though. 

Search it up on Wikipedia or look for a Let's Play of it on Youtube.

[Pandarsenic]

OH
THAT ONE

One of my friends has been bugging me to get it for ages if that's what I'm thinking of.

...

...

...

Is it abandonware yet? D:

[Lear]

I did a quick search and it would appear it is not..
However, the prices seemed reasonable $9-15. I would highly recommend getting it.

I was lucky enough to get the game from my friends as it didn't work on his computer. 

[Pandarsenic]

Heh. I just grabbed The Orange Box for $10 since Steam has it 66% off this weekend. I'm still playing through Deus Ex's The Nameless Mod.

I'm set for games for now unless something is free.

[Lear]

Well you don't have to have the game to play my game.. just a basic understanding of how it works (which is basically covered in the wiki article on it) and not being opposed to a bit of role play.

[Servant Corps]

* Servant Corps shrugs.

Good luck with your game, but I'm pretty busy as it is.

[Pandarsenic]

Oh.

I'm down, then.

[Lear]

Hm. I expected at least a little bit more interest, what with reading the eofs thread..

Maybe I'll just do an LP instead.

[Kashyyk]

MOO2! Yes please!!

[Lear]

I've reducing the number of people per empire so that at the least 12 would be needed for me to start up a 2 empire game. If the 4 that are interested truly are, 8 more are required.
