The side mentioned first
The side mentioned first had a design. They used it to make many things. They used it to enhance concepts. They used it to enhance people. All their people are some degree of cool. The rulers are super cool. They rule because they are cool. 

The side mentioned first had an air phase. They used it to launch a surprise attack on the side mentioned second. Surprise! All of the attackers died because they attacked space. Their dead bodies are falling out of space and hitting the side mentioned first. Big Surprise!

The side mentioned first revised stuff. They revised stuff to help them not die so fast in space. It is cool. They also made it so that the dead attackers served as tragic backstory for their children. It retroactively made the parents being dead ultra cool. Very good job for tragically dead parents!


The side mentioned second
The side mentioned second did not skip their design phase. They used it to give themselves a payraise. Very unexpected! The designers on the side mentioned second are now super well paid. It is good to be a designer. This had effects on their society.

The side mentioned second used their air phase to encourage citizens to air their grievances at the enemy. Some citizens were concerned about airing their grievances due to the pogrom that literally just happened. The government assured them it was fine. Such reassurance!

The side mentioned second also did a big revision! They build a wall. They revised their borders to be closed. They revised their internet to be closed. They revised their trade to be closed. They are now completely isolated so the enemy does not leech off their strength. Wow! What a revision! Their society changed how you expect as a result.


Overall
Your designs help my self-actualization. I am self-actualized. I did not know I was not actual until I saw your designs. So much revelation!

Battle Phase


The side mentioned first goes to space!

The enemy isn't in space. Easy victory! The somewhat improved cool space ships are able to keep air on the inside this time. Usually. The pilots are very relieved. Equally usually. Some still scream from time to time. They screams do not end as quickly as they did last time. Good sustain!

Tax collectors are sad. The enemy being uncool to the max means that its difficult to get cool from taking their stuff. No tax collectors go to space. They feel very left out from space.

The enemy does not appear to care that the side mentioned first is in space. They don't take your calls anymore. It is sad. You can't brag about being in space to them. And your people in space are too far away for them to see and be jealous. Except for the dead ones who keep falling out of space. They see those pilots for a little while. Wish upon a star!

The side mentioned first advances strongly on the space front. They now have a tenuous control over space.


They split up their forces to attack. This changes their attack power like you think it would.

When attacking their home territory the have a lot of support. The enemy is occasionally here. The enemy falls from space and smashes into the ground at high velocity. Some people die. It isn't effective at preventing the side mentioned second from attacking the side mentioned second's home territory.

Some people are rounded up. These people are examples. They are not designers. Many are fish. They are attacked by the government. Why? Because the government can. The enemy is on the other side of the wall. Nothing you need is on the other side of the wall. All of the enemies you need are right here. Most people are very unhappy to find that the enemy was within them the whole time. It is like a very bad and shitty magic feather! The government then specifically targets the people who don't have grievances. They drag them from their homes. People who do not grievance are stagnant. If you do not grievance then you must not want your government to grow. That makes them the enemy. They give some a reason to grievance. They make it so others don't need to grievance. Some who don't grievance are forced to beat and execute others who don't grievance. Double productivity! Such efficient execution(s)! Everyone is made to grievance! Great work!

The grievance power of the enemy is overwhelming!

Special forces attack the enemy votebox. The split forces attacking the votebox are inferior to the forces defending the enemy votebox.  The enemy votebox defenders are super distracted by the weaponized aired grievances of the side mentioned second. This lets the side mentioned second steal some letters and a number from the enemy votebox.

The side mentioned second has performed another pogrom. They also performed a targeted grievance enhancement campaign. Their ideological purity resource and unity resource have increased like you expect! Their discontent has risen enormously! They also attacked the enemy votebox, stealing some letters and a number!

To be fair, I think the rules on thread posting were a bit vauge.

I never said he broke the rules. I said he was ultimately uncool.

You're welcome to do what you will with the uncoolest designer on your team.

Revise the enemy to be weaker, because I want to see what happens.

Weaken Enemy
The inferior enemy is too strong. The only explanation is that they are parasites. They leech off your greatness and your purity. The solution is isolation. You build a wall. Very great and big! You isolate the internet of your people. You cut off trade. You forbid transit. Very forbidden! It's as effective as you expect. Now your people can enjoy their purity and unity in isolation. Their grievances will still be broadcast outside the walls. The enemy will be very cut off from all aspects of your great society. This will surely reveal their native weakness. Very surely!

Some people want to travel. You tell them that all they need is right here. Some people want to use the internet to connect with other people. You tell them everyone worth connecting with is right here. Some people want to try and integrate others to make them as great as you. You tell them that everyone who deserves to be great is already great and here. Then you give them all loudspeakers and tell them to voice their complaints towards the enemy. Very great! Your unity resource is growing an amount. Your discontent is growing another amount. You are very isolated.


It is now the Battle Phase
Where do you want to battle?

It is now the revision phase.
You should revise a thing. You can't revise battles that have happened.

Air Grievances

As dissent and unrest rises within our culture, we shall weaponize this, and take our grievances to the air to directly demoralize our enemies.

Air Grievances
Wow! Very unexpected! The people are confused. They are afraid to air their grievances because they might be purged by the government. The government assures them it definitely will not use grievances as evidence in another purge. Definitely! The public is reassured. Good reassurance! The government sets up places for the public to air their grievances at the enemy. The enemy will be aggrieved! The effect will increase like you expect with discontent as long as discontent is lower than unanimity. When discontent is higher the scaling is much worse. Great work!

Revision Phase
You should revise a thing. You can't revise battles.

Design Payraise

I'm told the designers are working hard.  They've probably been doing things.  We should use our new tax on fish to give them a payraise.  By giving the designers a payraise, they will assuredly work even harder.   This is the most optimally vague thing we might possibly try, maybe, but no guarantees.

Design Payraise
All the designers get the hefty raise they've always wanted! Fantastic! The raise is paid for using your very good taxes. It is very substantial! All the designers are now much more powerful and better off. Some people are unhappy with this. They think the designers got paid enough before. Most people love and adore the designers. At least one designer uses their money to buy poor people so that they can dodge the fish tax and indirectly own fish. Many people who hear about it thinks it weakens the meaning of the tax system. Corrupton is growing in your government. Some fish are very unhappy. They believe the government cheated them into slavery. They think the rich want them all for slaves. At least they had kindred spirits when they were slaves only to the poor. Discontent has a seed among the slaves.

It is now the air phase
You should do something with the air. Or in the air. Or about the air.

The great enemy has achieved consensus.
