Good Cause Simulator: Lilis/future is now (saturday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

SPECIES DECISION - PICK ONE

[idolpro]

Human: They’re human and shit!

Humans But Some Sort Of Animal (Less): Kemonomimi! Choose an animal.

Humans But Some Sort Of Animal (More): Furries! Choose an animal.

Insect Hivemind: Scary monsterbugs that all think as one!

SYSTEM X4-100: Many AI! One groupthink digital space!

Revenants: A bunch of ghosts. Or maybe slimes? Slimeghosts! But for some reason they need all the stuff living things do...and they can die?

Floaty Gross: Docile floating gas bladders. They’re very cute! Don’t make them angry.

MAGIC.JPG INC: Shitty fairies! Don’t trust them! They’re a megacorp and get mind altering glitter everywhere!

Effervescent Flora: Plantlife, but with an attitude.

Sustainability: 50%
Readiness: 50%
Status: Healthy

CURRENT JOB: Asteroid Miner
POINTS SALARY: 10
ABILITY: MINING LASER: You can fire the mining laser, gaining 10 extra prosperity but with a chance to mildly injure every member of one random unit with the same job and lowering their sustainability by 10.

ALLOCATE POINTS

[idolpro]

You may allocate your Asteroid Miner points to: Prosperity or Readiness

Will you pay taxes this year?
Will you use your job ability?

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

Your species’ planets have a serious pest problem. Rodents (Large) and Locusts (Innumerable) ravage your crops and food stores, leaving people with nothing to eat. What do you do?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

The war against The Others rages around you - you're not sure why it started or how, only that one of your species' planets was completely wiped out, with no provocation. You can't help but feel you need to do something about this...but what?

Do you take action, or realize that there's not much you can do to affect things besides your job?

You know. From all the war and stuff.

It's good food. Most of these things aren't even human, so,

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

There has been an outbreak of Phage on several planets and as a result of the war, humans are hardly able to combat it effectively. This Phage spreads quickly, and horribly mutates its victims into hateful monstrosities bent on the consumption of all organic life.

It has spread to your station, but you have the chance to initiate quarantine protocols - or just outright eliminate those suspected to have the Phage. The former option will cost 30 prosperity, and the latter 15 Population and 15 Sustainability.

Or perhaps you have another, better option? After all, fixing the problem here doesn’t fix it everywhere else.

You could also do nothing. (This is not advised.)

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

It's so, so cold. ROB ZOMBIE and MEOW MEOW BITCH will find themselves unable to speak coherently, mumbling and shivering constantly, as they fumble in pain at trying to complete the simplest of tasks. They now have SPACE HYPOTHERMIA.

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

You ignored the war...but it seems the war has come to you.

Your station was raided today, causing a loss of 20 prosperity and 30 sustainability! You definitely need to do something about this now - the planet you're orbiting was attacked, too...is this really going to be okay? Do you flee? Do you fight?

Or maybe you have a proposal to do something drastic...you're rather smart, aren't you? Isn't winning the war worth any cost?

EVENT 1

It seems your crimes are about to be found out...several members of your species have gotten very uncomfortable and unhappy, and they may or may not be planning to have you executed. The government might even be planning to disappear you and do it themselves…!

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

A mysterious ship has docked at your station today. They call themselves the Hand, but what are they the hand of? The RULER%TITLE’s right hand? The hand of DEITY%NAME? The invisible hand of the ECONOMIC%SYSTEM?

All you know is that things seem to have become colder and darker around the station since they arrived. And news reports throughout [insert species] space indicate that there’s started to be reports...of missing hands. Entire hands, just removed! Without a single trace.

Do you begin the work of removing these Hands, whatever they might be? Or do you let them stay? Do you, perhaps, engage in their handcraft?

FINAL STATS

[idolpro]

Population: 30
Prosperity: 80%
Sustainability: 80%
Readiness: 60%

!!: A biological attack is launched on you! Your entire family contracts LIQUEFICATION. Your body slowly begins to melt apart, skin painfully sloughing off and organs failing as you become more of a somewhat human-shaped blood slurry as time passes.

-20 Population! -20 Prosperity!

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

And you ran! You ran so far away!

Couldn't get away.

Sure, you escape the warfare and the death and the destruction in the sector, but karma came back to you - and now you are oozing monstrosities aboard a derelict ship, wanted for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. And as it turns out, the only people who can cure you are in the place you just left (and getting shot to death in a revolution, so, eh)

You have no mouth, and it was for a good cause.

Proceed to ENDGAME.
