Good Cause Simulator: WILD CITY/☆ZRAEL

[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]

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 2

[idolpro]

Your station, and the people living in it are all rather poor. You can’t stand to see the suffering - something needs to be done, you think. There’s a major shipping lane nearby...perhaps you could take a self defense vessel and relieve those merchants of their goods?

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]

A tax collector docks at your station. You are under arrest for tax evasion. What do you do?

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

Your bravery/ingenuity/whatever has caught the notice of your employers! You have been offered a position as Diplomat (15 point salary). Do you accept?

EVENT 4

[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?

EVENT 1

[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?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

Things have started to get rather dire across _Plant 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.

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

Waves of mutants and others meet your combined arms, and they are laid low. You become a bastion of unity, a beacon of hope and people flock to you - eventually a cure is found for the disease by several others, and it is with you as their shield they were able to manage.

You did well, and it was all for a good cause.
