The aim of this project is to again set 6 players in the role of the original actors, to recreate the communication problems when they had to make choices and to give fun for all the community. To see how this went the first time, take a look at http://www.ageod-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=187

[color="Purple"]Observer[/color]
- Extra role (provides we have enough players to fill the 6 main slots)
- Provide neutral commentary and analysis of the game
- CiC names may vary according to players choices
- Theater limits are presidential choices
- Players are forbidden to read other players AAR (including their own side)
- All communications are to be made in a dedicated public thread created in this forum (no phone, no private mails ). Some out-of-character coordination before game start will be allowed (to organize things), but after game start, everything must be in-character, in the team's "war room".
- Roleplay is compulsory
Procedure:
We'll be using the latest official patch. Any switch to a new patch will be done at the start of a turn, and I'll make sure to say so when it occurs. I.e. for any given turn, all orders and the processing of them will be done with the same patch.
I will do the hosting.
I will create a mailing list for each side, to help in distributing the turn- and order-files.
Orders are submitted by a side when I receive a mail explicitly stating so via the given side's list.
If there are enough people interested, I would also like to try out a few new roles, to help involve those not playing:
- A "game analyzer" who after each turn receives both sides' turn-files and posts comments on what the teams are doing and how things are going. This requires some experience with the game, if possible with both sides in PBEM
- A "journalist" on each side, who maintains newspaper. The exact content of the paper would be left to the journalist; it could be reports of events and battles, in-character "interviews" with the players (we'd need to determine how to do those, though ) and suchlike.
Obviously, long term commitment is crucial to take part in this campaign.
