Proposal: Winds of War
[This came out of what Kevan said about declaring war on other weblogs, as well as some ideas I've been working on ever since I joined BlogNomic. I like it because sort of involves other people, who are not players, in our game. It also provides Military players with some sort of compensation -- civilians get credits for working in the factory, scientists for passing proposals, and military players for a successful conquering of another weblog. I've provided this just as the base of our rules for warfare. I hope other players expand on this and take it to new heights.]
“BlogNomic may declare war on other weblogs. To do this, a Military player must post a Declaration of War (DoW) detailing the name, address, and reason(s) for attacking the target weblog. A DoW passes or fails in the same manner as a proposal. If the DoW passes, the Military player who posted it gains 15 Credits. If the DoW fails, the Military player who posted it loses 10 credits.
If the DoW passes, BlogNomic is said to be currently AT WAR with the target weblog. BlogNomic may only be at war with one weblog at a time. After the DoW passes, the Military Player who posted it must notify the target weblog in a response to a post on the target weblog, or if that is not possible, in an email message to the keeper of the weblog. This notification must include the options the target weblog has, as well as the consequences of those options, as follows.
The target weblog may declare its response to the attack either COMPLIANT or REBELLIOUS. If the target weblog is compliant, they immediately become a territory of BlogNomic, as listed on the sidebar, and BlogNomic is no longer at war with that weblog. If the target weblog is rebellious, then every player is encouraged to “attack” the target weblog either by responding or emailing to the target weblog (a player may claim 10 Credits, only once, for doing this). If, after the attack, they wish to change to compliant, they may do so, and then become a territory of BlogNomic, and BlogNomic is no longer at war with that weblog. If they are still rebellious after the attack, then the mission has failed and BlogNomic is no longer at war with that weblog.
If a target weblog becomes compliant, then every Military player gains 10 Credits. The Military player who originally posted the DoW is encouraged to post updates on the state of the campaign."
