You and your two fellow countrymen (3 total) are traveling to the New World to start a new life
(it’s a small boat, ok? *S*). There are several countries on the same boat, heading to the same place.
The game begins when the boat is mysteriously stricken with a weird, New World disease which leaves you and the rest of
the boat with amnesia!
- Find your countrymen! A flag will be delivered to your home site.
Once you find your flag, find the flags of your two countrymen and team up!
- Once you have your team (countrymen) together, you will all post to the board and inform us that you
are together and ready to play.
- At this point, your trivia question will be posted. Answer the trivia question. This will take you to your
Country of Origin. Once you discover from whence you came, you will be able to decide whether you wish to base your new
society on the old, leave the old behind, or incorporate a little of the old into the new! It will be up to you and your
group to decide on a basis for your new-found freedom.
- Come up with a peaceful plan on how to live with the other people who border your settlement. (After teams
have found their Country of Origin, the map will be posted for you to see who your neighbors are. This is a fictional
map that uses real societies. Check the map to be sure of your neighbors!)
- Advertise your new way of life. Drop by the homes of your friends and family, fellow group members, scribes, demis, WHOMEVER... and advertise your new society. Ask those you visit to come and vote for you in the site-wide vote that will take place on Day 5. The votes of the masses will rack up points for your team (see below).
- Name of the settlement
- What type of government you've chosen (Monarchy, Democratic, Dictatorship, etc...)
and the names and titles of any other government officials.
- Name of your leader (elected or otherwise).
- If you would like, your group can define how you interact with the settlements at your borders
(miliatary or diplomatic objectives).
- Your effort is to make people WANT to live there. Feel free to add any acoutrement you like to make it more appealing (pictures, coding tricks, etc...).
- Find team-mates and report full group. Each member must post to the main board to verify that you are playing and that you have joined up with your countrymen. Please indicate that you are in your group in the SUBJECT of your post.
Points Awarded: 1st = 100 points, 2nd = 75 points, 3rd = 50 points, 4th = 25 points).
- Answer your group trivia question and find your Country of Origin.
Points Awarded: 1st = 100 points, 2nd = 75 points, 3rd = 50 points, 4th = 25 points).
- Post your final idea:
Points Awarded: 1st = 100, 2nd = 75 points, 3rd = 50 points, 4th = 25 points).
- Votes. There will be a public vote on the last day -- which will be a site-wide vote. People will be voting on the
settlement they would most like to inhabit (based on your outline of your new society).
Points Awarded: 1st = 200, 2nd = 150, 3rd = 100, 4th = 50).
Are you thinking it's not fair to award points for speed and popularity?
Well, survival of the fittest my friend! So suck it up, find your group and go create a brave, new world! And, even if you
don't win, you'll get a plaque! *S*
- Day 1: Find your countrymen! You must have your team together by the end of Day 1
or you’re disqualified. After all, without teamwork, you won’t survive that boat ride over!
- Day 2: Find your Country of Origin (you’ll know who lives where at the end of Day 2).
- Day 3: Work with other people at your site to design a government and society.
- Day 4: Advertise your society.
- Day 5: The vote! Voting takes place over 24 hours.
