====================================================================== PE-SB-Announce [Moderator]: Reminder: Victory Conditions Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 04:43:36 +0000 Announcement from the Moderator to All Leaders in Silent Bloodshed: One of the players asked me a question about this Universe, and it seemed like it might be appropriate to send out this reminder about the Victory Conditions for this no-diplomacy universe. From the Leader's Guide: (A) Individual Hegemony: If this option is used, a New Era will be launched whenever the following 2 conditions are met: First, there must be a public announcement that a single Leader controls at least 1/2 of all the Regions in the entire Universe, and at least 3/2 as many Regions as the next-largest Leader. (If Announcements are not possible in your Universe, the Moderator will make this Announcement for you.) Second, the above conditions must be sustained for 5 consecutive full turns following the Announcement. (That is, there must be proof of the Leader's dominance in 6 consecutive Newspapers.) (B) Alliance Victory - this option is not allowed (no diplomacy, no alliances) in this universe. (C) Majority Vote: If this option is used, a New Era will be launched whenever the following 3 conditions are met: First, a majority (more than 1/2) of the Leaders (not Regions) in the Universe must vote for the New Era. No dominant Leader or Alliance may have its 5-turn clock running. The mechanism for voting is for each Leader to add a capital "NE" (for "New Era") to the name of their Nation, using the "Rename" Action in the Newspaper. Second, the majority vote must be sustained for three complete turns (4 Newspapers). -- Power's Edge, http://www.powersedge.net/
