Friday, June 11, 2004
Following last week's ridiculous success of a D-Day AOK:TC theme game comes a second stupid computer game thing.
WHEN
The game will take place on Saturday, June 12, 2004 somewhere between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The Conquerors Expansion and the latest 1.0c patch are required to play.
At 8 p.m., an IP will be posted for players to connect to. Once we have eight players who are capable of connecting, the game will begin.
To ensure your position, please either visit the #INTL IRC chat, message me at "Witty Tirade" on the AOL, or read this thread for updates at 8 p.m.
THE THEME
To honour the death of our glorious leader (for whom half of North America is currently in the process of being renamed), this week's theme is Reagan is Dead: Long Live Reagan.
In this game, players will get a chance to warp back to the political field of the 80s, when the Soviet Union was on life support, Reagan administration officials took out classifieds for in Nicoraguan dailies for Pershing IIs, Iran and Iraq were a closed circuit of violence harmless to those on the outside (unless you were a diplomat, of course), and back at home, it was always morning in America with a sunny Japanese flag flying over every factory. What a wonderful time to be alive! To be in love! Preferably with a celebrity who wants you to shoot the president so you'll have a chance to shoot from your other gun into her hot, Taxi Driver-starring-in woman-hole.
THE (POWER) PLAYERS
As a player in the stock market of Reaganomics, you can choose to come as one of the following:
- Ronald Reagan: Crazy, optimistic, film-starring-in, Alzheimer-striken chief exec. Buzzterms: morning in America, evil empire, Star Wars, tear down wall. (preferably someone truly funny, i.e. FA or me, should be Reagan)
- Nancy Reagan: His pro-stem-cell-research first lady, who hates drugs hardcore.
- George Bush: "Read my lips" ex-CIA-guy VP.
- Jimmy Carter: Folksy peanut-picking, high-gas-price-causing, hostage-rescue-botching predecessor.
- Oliver North: Iran-Contra fallguy. Remember Iran-Contra? I do. He also had a show on MSNBC or something.
- MikhaiGorbachev: Soviet premier. Supporter of perestroika and glastnost, which severely cut down on the number of sack-electrocutions perpetrated by the Evil Empire.
- The Ayatollah: Crazy hostage-taking, jihad-declaring, Iraq-invading Moslem fundamentalist wiseguy. [has to be Persians]
- Saddam Hussein: We gave him weapons to fight Iran. Translation: "Give me 1000 food Reagan and ally me, I'll kill Ayatollah... wtf Bush why are you attacking???" [has to be Arab civ]
- John Hinckley: He shot Reagan in 1981 because he was in love with Jodie Foster and wanted her to notice him. Heck, and all I had to do was buy Vervet a bottle of Parrot Bay.
Note on civ restrictions: There will be no blanket mandatory civ restrictions on this game, excepting the ones already mentioned. However, it might be strange to have Reagan as the Saracens, George Bush as the Mongols, etc. So please select your civilization wisely.
Note on character limit: There is a 15-character limit on player names. This will only affect Mikhail Gorbachev in this game.
WHO MAY PLAY
There will be no space reservations in this game. Everyone at the INTL is invited to connect to tonight's game. Simply connect to the IP when it is posted or given to you.
If you find the game full, please post in this thread, contact me on AOL, and wait online. Space may be opened before launch.
SPSW players will be invited to this game as well.
SETTINGS
Regicide, Last Man Standing, RM. Intial teams:
1. Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan, George Bush, Oliver North (the Reagan administration)
2. The Ayatollah, Saddam Hussein, Mikhail Gorbachev (hostile foreign-types)
3. John Hinkley and Jimmy Carter (hostile domestic-types)
Map will be discussed within the game.
POLICY ON NAME RESERVATIONS
All name reservations must be made below. Reservations will be upheld through an honor system with other players. Host will not be able to honor individual reservations due to the anonymity factor.
Also, for the benefit of us all, please defer to players who are obviously funnier than you. (For example, if you're some new guy loser who wants to play a fun internet AOK:TC game, don't try to keep a name from, say, Flaming Arrow, who could obviously utilize it much better than your sorry ass could.)
To determine whether or not you are deserving of a name, please refer to this helpful chart:
