It sounds like an interesting, yet basic idea. You'd have to have a good system to choose the Space Asshole, though. I get the feeling that it would be a role that's in demand.

Who... hahaha... wrote... harrrrharrrrr... that... gaspwheeze... song?!
Hahahaha, before listening to that, I thought the idea might be based off Space Station 13. What game was that footage actually from, though? That looks worth playing to be a... Space Asshole.

Red Faction. The one before Armageddon.

I found the video THANKS to SS13, so...

Perhaps there should be a "Space Nice Guy" who has a few special abilities that have a cooldown of a few turns like "repair object" or "shield person from damage", but the disadvantage for him is that he cannot kill Space Asshole at all?

The seven people, when together, can repel the Space Asshole easily enough thanks to the fact they add to each other's rolls.

However, if he were to steal a freaking truck and CRASH THROUGH the settlement, that will be a problem. I may have one person be the "leader" or "boss" (Boss, probably, referenced by the song), he's able to do more than most players, boost rolls more, but isn't quite as powerful as the Space Asshole.

[Kadzar]

What if all the players were Space Assholes, and they all had objectives that conflicted with the other Assholes?

[flabort]

That would be fine for Colony 6 or 13 (Assuming each time victory is achieved for either the SA or the other players, another colony is started). Or, if we ever, EVER, play that many games of this, Colony 666. Probably have shuffled through a few GMs by that point  .
The question is, though, would the SA's identity be hidden somehow?

[Fniff]

If it was hidden, then it would get blown faster then a rich businessman in a brothel.

[ExKirby]

Come in from lurking

Rich businessmen being blown

Whelp, back to lurking

Quite possibly a game of Be the BIGGEST space asshole.

For instance.
1. The first guy steals a truck and drives it through the main office of the mining area, causing lasting damage and a loss of communication between miners and the outside world.

2. The second guy goes for breaking into said office and smashing the fuck out of everything with a hammer.

3. The third guy plots to do a fly-over with a stolen escape shuttle, dropping a ton of empty crates on the office. This guy has won Biggest Asshole.

Ooh! Maybe even a game based solely on causing total destruction! Each player has a counter that goes up for the amount of property/health damage caused! A round ends either when absolutely everything has been destroyed, the world itself is destroyed, someone reaches a score limit, or a certain number of turns pass.

Fuck Up The Lives of Innocents The RtD.

Fuck Up The Lives of Innocents The RtD.

I approve of this line of thinking.

[Greenstarfanatic]

In the humble words of our lord and savior, Saxton Hale:

PROPERTY DAMAAAAAAAAGE

[Fniff]

How about there's property damage points and style points as well? Maybe there could be two seperate awards for each round for having the most style or property damage? I mean, you could just smash everything up with a hammer, but somehow breaking into a nuclear silo, launching the nuke, riding on it, painting on it with "I am become death destroyer of worlds ", then blowing up in a massive nuclear explosion is just stylish.

[Yoink]

Pretty sure a nuke would win you the game on damage points, too.

I like the sound of this, although mechanics to track/score each bit of destruction sounds like it would be quite complicated.
