war!

over in the Zhodani Consulate Map thread we read of cartography resolution issues ...

Do the cartographers get to decide the outcome or will it be mighty battlefleets?

... and this seems like an excellent opportunity for a coti contest of some sort. fleet construction economics? fleet construction? ship design? fleet logistics and strategic maneuver? dramatic epic tales of victory and defeat? territorial resolution? subsectors and planets named for heros (if not victors) ?

Im all for such contests, but OTU guys take this stuff seriously, you tread on sacred ground.

 

[flykiller]

you tread on sacred ground.

somebody has to.

 

[aramis]

somebody has to.

The point of sacred ground is that only the annointed are allowed to go there.


But it's a poor metaphor.

And the outcome is decided by the game designer...

lookin' kinda pristine and untrodden ....

it's a role-playing game. let's role-play the outcome, get that game off on the right foot!

There are probably worse things for a game designer to have when making that decision than the results of at least one simulated wargame.

Just think of this as an exercise at the Command College senior Strategy Course.

2300 setting was decided by that game, seems a precedent to me.

Only the countries... a lot of that game was the unwritten portions...

You have the rules of it if you have the 2300 CD...
