Point taken, but we can scratch eachother's backs until the inevitable destruction. Really it's two different means that hopefully reach the same end. You either take what you want and use you're royal authority to axe opponents, or do some insider trading to gain it. There still are winners and losers in compromising, ask Hitler who took advantage of the soft Allied leaders.

Fea, are you assigning character roles, or can we choose? If so, I would like to be...the Senator who was so gaffe-prone he got run out of his country.

There will be no character roles. I'll handle narrative characterization by referencing in-game events. I cannot, of course, stop you from being gaffe-prone.

Doo doo doo doo.


When are you thinking of starting, love? I'm thinking about taking a couple games off but if this starts after Thursday or so I may just have to join. Seriously, how often does a concept like this pop up?

Monday. If I hold off longer I'll be fettered by travel, term papers, and holidays. I'd very much like you to play, though.

Hmmmm. I'll think about it. Several papers on deck and a scene to direct, so I'll let you know hopefully sometime tomorrow.

Hmm...I think that could be a way to do it. I don't know how else...it becomes a bit difficult when everything must be written out.

Can the topic be about anything? A teacher once told my class about how someone simply read out of a phone book for hours...
