Good Cause Simulator: Taisho Roman Revolution (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. ]

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

Things have started to get rather dire across Shitty Cat Fairy space. Pollution, famine, drought, disease and war run rampant. Your station itself is ramshackle and falling apart, its populace forming into factions ready to tear each other apart at the lightest provocation.

Something has to be done to get things back under control, even if you can’t make things better. But what? Perhaps getting ahead of the civil war curve and overthrowing the government yourself? Committing an act of mad science? Who knows.

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?

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

Your destructive genius whatever has caught the notice of the local government! You have been offered a position as a SOLDIER (12 point salary). Do you accept?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

After a certain group made the decision to fight The Others with the Phage, derelict Others ships have been full of horrible space mutants, which now spread rapidly across the galaxy. They've reached your sector, and if the outbreak is not stopped they will consume all life here.

The war has died down, but this - is pretty bad. What do you do?

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

You overthrow the local government, and also few other local governments. You cause carnage and bloodshed and mayhem, but when the dust settles there's only one other group in the galaxy more prepared for the oncoming storm than you.

You hold fast, and in time the Others are defeated by your revolutionary fervour and the Phage is held off long enough that a cure is developed by others who

you killed,

as part of the revolution,

but it was for a good cause, wasn't it?

Proceed to ENDGAME.
