Good Cause Simulator: sensitIV/avante en garde (sunday)

[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. ]

Is it common for units to join forces during games?

[ He's a little relieved by this combination, honestly. Also. He's brought in a bunch of snacks to stress eat. Who wants some? ]

The station is really falling apart... We need to figure out something more lucrative than mining, fast.

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

As a result of your lack of maintenance, your station has ended up in a state of disrepair. It should be no surprise that when gravity season begins, the stress to the paneling causes the station to slowly start to come apart.

This could be a deadly disaster if left alone...but what can you do about it?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working in the mines, someone asks you to pass you a thermal detonator. Do you hand them the one with the SHORT TIMER or the LONG TIMER?

EVENT 1

Dragon and humans with human ears space isn't exactly the best place to live. There's a moderate number of dragons and humans with human ears here, but some of them are talking about moving to a different station, where conditions are better. If Prosperity is not over 80 points by the end of the year this event occurs in, Population will drop by 20 points.

EVENT 2

[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 3

[idolpro]

You have been called upon to create some sort of new, powerful ordinance that can be cheaply mass produced and will turn the tide of the worsening war against The Others. There's a threat against you regarding your unpaid taxes if your new invention is less than stellar...

EVENT 1

The Others have found you.

Your deception will not be forgotten.

Your deception will not be forgiven.

The war has come to you. Your station was raided today, causing a loss of 20 prosperity, 30 population, 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?

All members of your family are SHOT and BURNED.

EVENT 2

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

It seems your shady and ruinous dealings 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…!

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

You bail. Everyone thinks you dead, the legendary builders of war machines. You never quite find a steady place to stay, even after the war has ended in a bloody massacre and coup - much of it fought with weapons you created - but this was all for the best, wasn't it?

Without your intervention, it would've gone for so much longer. And it is best that you now fade from history.

The blood of all those who fought is on your hands,

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

Proceed to ENDGAME.
