It is really confusing. I would come back though if you could flesh out the rules more here NobodyPro.
Not my ruleset, though the reason I started this was to see if the system could work in a forum game. Admittedly, the whole faction section is confusingly written and I wound up compiling my own summary.

Edited faction, okay it's more clear now that each faction's attributes determine their maximum level of unit they can build.
Added to main post.

Cool, so is my faction good to go?
Yep.

What is the geography of red?
It didn't make it into the short bio but the surface of red is too hot for humans to survive outside of environmental suits or sealed structures. It also has thin atmosphere.

What is an asset in this game?
Assets (pg.118-123) are soldiers, structures, spaceships, and other things that your faction has under their control. For example, if someone were to use Zealots to attack the base of influence on your homeworld, you could defend against the attack with a Cunning Trap. You are limited by both your attributes (Force, Cunning, Wealth) and the TL of your planet. For example, because of your Cunning you could buy a Demagogue but not Treachery. Similarly, because of the planet's TL of 0 you could buy a Demagogue but not a Covert Transit Net. You start with two assets from your best attribute (Cunning) and two more from any of your other attributes (Force and Wealth).

I would recommend taking the Colonist or Technical Expertise tags if you're going to start on Red. TL0 is highly restrictive and will prevent you from building assets that allow you to move assets to other planets. Alternatively, you could take a Laboratory as one of your starting assets.

Faction Name: The Dark Collective
Am I correct in thinking that if I have a Force level of 3, that I cant have Force level 4 stuff as my assets?
Yes, that is correct.

(It seems a little OP that Cyan gets Tech level 5 while everyone else gets 4; how do you expect everyone to counteract Capital Ships and Space Marines lol)
Capital Ships and Space Marines are Force 8 and Force 7 respectively, preventing anyone from buying them. For the same reasons, I'm going to have to ask you to pick assets other than Popular Movement and Venture Capital, as you don't have the stats for them.

Assets:
-Pretech Infantry 16/16; Force; Military Unit; FvF 2d8; 2d8+2; Cyan
-Gravtank Formation 14/14; Force; Military Unit; FvF 2d10+4; 1d10; Cyan
I'll also ask you to replace these assets, as they require permission from the Planetary Government to build.

This is the general programming thread. It's in the General Discussion forum, which is probably why you didn't find it.
It's been a while.

I couldn't find a general programming thread on the first five pages so here's my latest project. It's going to be a forum game about pulling things through time and space to fight for you, Magic: The Gathering style, but in a strategy game. The most important part is that it's going to be semi-automated.

The spambots that know my primary email address seem to have given up on their promising careers in law and finance and have turned to religion.

My Dear Friend , I want you to note that i don't know you and i don't even know who you are or where you come from but the Lord whom i serve is so loving and helpful as he never forget his own people i want you to know that i have been thinking of what to do over this funds for some period of years now simply because i know that the money is of no use to me any longer simply because of the stage at which my cancer has gotten. I am a very prayerful person and it was when i was praying sometimes ago that the Lord revealed to me i don't know if i should call it a dream or a vision i was told that i should go into the world and bless the world with what the almighty God has used in blessing i and my late husband. The vision seems so terrific and i was so bothered that i had a day fasting and prayer over it and someone in my church then interpret the meaning of my dreams to me telling me that i am having something which is in need in the world and he want me to use it to bless the world and the person asked me to think very well because it is the voice of the Lord that has spoken to me and all that. I searched myself very well and i get to remember that i am having the fund which i and my husband had labored for so many years and i contacted the security company as the beneficiary of the funds and i was confirmed the owner of the funds and am asked to come around and get it exactly when am ready to but i should made awareness of when i will be coming so that proper arrangement would be made then but it is a pity i cant go which you know. I had another dream which made me realize that i must not be in possession of the money and i should go into the world and look for someone in the world to distribute the funds in a Godly manner. So i decided to search with the name related to a woman who took very good care of me when i was dump by my runaway parents. i was brought up in a motherless baby home and so i told my nurse to help me get an Internet account after that i decided to search i got about 1065 profiles and i prayed over it and you know whats funny ? among all the profiles i chose it was yours that the Lord has chosen to distribute this funds as a sacrifice from the lord to the world. It is a means of you been committed to the Lord and this will make you move closer to him as well and i am very sure that he must certainly have a reason why he want you to do this on his behalf please be strong and have faith in yourself and in me and make me realize that you will do it just because i know you can do it and i see you doing it right among everyone else.... Hope i read from you soonest and please make sure that you never forget me in your prayers kindly get back to me thanks and God bless you and your household make a prayer over it and you will smell it around you the Lord will not come down to call his own people he will send someone to you now he has sent me to you. God bless you abundantly..........in his riches..................Amen

My Beloved In God.

Greetings in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. i am Mrs Elizabeth Anna Johnson from Bahrain, a widow to late Dr. A. Johnson . l am 51 years old and a coveted born again Christian, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I might not live more than two (2) months, according to my doctor because the cancer has gotten to a very worst / dangerous stage.

My late husband and my only child died last five years ago, his death was politically motivated. My late husband was a very rich and wealthy business man who was running his Gold/Diamond Business here in South Africa. After his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than two (2) months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. if collected your email address during my desperate search on the internet and I prayed over it

I decided to donate the sum of $5,600,000.00 USD (Five Million Six hundred thousand United States dollars) to the less privileged because I cannot take this money to the grave. Please I want you to note that this fund is lodged in a bank here in South Africa.

Once I hear from you, I will forward to you all the information's you will use to get this fund released from the bank and to be transferred to your bank account. I honestly pray that this money when transferred to you will be used for the said purpose because l has come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. May the grace of our lord Jesus the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family.

PLEASE REPLY BACK IN MY PRIVATE EMAIL: [REDACTED].

Thanks and God bless you.

Your beloved sister in Christ.

Mrs. Mrs Elizabeth Anna Johnson

I just found out that I was Excluded from my university seven months ago. It's a bit confusing given that I transferred into a new Bachelor and attended classes all through the latter half of last year and no one batted an eye. It's also hit me really hard because I made that transfer after having a complete nervous breakdown over the direction my life was heading. Losing control like this is bringing those feelings back and I have no way of contacting my course coordinator until Monday.

Just make the game the way you want it. Otherwise, you won't be into it, and it will die.
The question I'm most interested in is "What kind of goal, if any, do you think the game should have?" It's simply a part of the design that I haven't really considered. As for the setting question, my original idea (a massive crossover) would have burned me out before I'd even started. Now I simply can't decide. The supernatural element question was thrown in there because I was curious as to what the answers would be.

« on: January 26, 2016, 08:01:26 am »
I'm currently making a very experimental forum game and I need your help. The core idea of the game is that the player characters are individuals in a persistent world. Players give their characters goals (go to [location], try to kill [character], find a job etc.) and on each turn they are notified on any changes (travel, weather, health etc.) and presented with an event. The players are given multiple choices with how they deal with the event, for example: if they happen to meet someone new they could choose to strike up a conversation, try to start a fight, or ignore them. Their pool of events is determined by their situation, their character traits, and their goals.

I would really appreciate if you would take this survey to give me an idea of what the setting should be and what features and systems I need to make first.

After playing Pony Island I've got two more things:

1. Games that are clearly based on recently popular games.

Spoiler: Spoilers for Undertale (click to show/hide)

2. Games that overdo their effects to the point that I get a migraine.
