Let's Play! Fate of the World - Games

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cP9fW.png[/IMG] Fate of the World is a game that basically runs on the premise that following severe climate problems, the world decided to let greenpeace run it. And you run greenpeace. Greenpeace in this case being the GEO, global environment organisation. It's our job to try and make the world a better place. Beware though, every action has consequences... We'll be playing the "Fuel Crisis" scenario, which entails this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3x7hg.png[/IMG] So with that in mind, let's get started. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VEMCr.jpg[/IMG] What should we be called?

President Karfamachionibollochiteakurnyril. Addressed as 'Dude'.

President Bush addressed as Learned one

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/RM6bT.jpg[/IMG] Went with Bush, I can't copy paste into the game and the other one was pretty long. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/J0UJP.jpg[/img_thumb] So this is it, what we're fighting for. 20 turns from now it'll look very different. The game works by playing cards in each region of the world. We need an agent for every card slot, and they cost money. Normally I would get no more than 6 or 7 agents at the start. How should we distribute them? The more agents, the more stuff we can do in a particular region each turn. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TBUT8.jpg[/IMG]

You should have posted your current balance and mentioned that every agent costs $50. I just started up that mission, my starting funds were $788. Also playing cards costs money too, people contributing should bear that in mind.

I'll make sure to do that in future. For reference, the current budget is $788. Pretty sure it's in billions or something.

First start with curing the west, then move east.

Well I just had the world revolt against me on that mission despite my constant push for renewables (which were starting to bring emissions down in the last 10 years before) so I'm not the best person to advise here. :v: But this isn't going anywhere so concentrate on the big emissions contributors (NA, China, South Asia, Europe, Latin America, middle East) first.

How many agents (card slots) in which regions?

Lets go with 1 in each of the 7 regions I mentioned. [editline]13th March 2011[/editline] If we have spare money after playing cards then we can hire more.

Switching to media tags because it's a LOT of big images. [media]http://i.imgur.com/AtWjd.jpg[/media] That's them all recruited then. We have $488 left to spend on policy actions (cards). The actual process of taking actions looks like this; [media]http://i.imgur.com/rUmIU.jpg[/media] You pick cards from several sets. This is the Projects set. [media]http://i.imgur.com/fP3NV.jpg[/media] Page 2 of the Projects [media]http://i.imgur.com/56O0y.jpg[/media] Environment Set [media]http://i.imgur.com/iKPCR.jpg[/media] Technology Set [media]http://i.imgur.com/WOTcW.jpg[/media] Energy Set [media]http://i.imgur.com/CRKSM.jpg[/media] Welfare Set [media]http://i.imgur.com/ObIVS.jpg[/media] Politics Set [media][/media] At this point our options are basically identical for all the countries. I thought we'd start with the USA. GRAPH TIME! Emissions are the name of the game, so let's see what's causing those... [media]http://i.imgur.com/HUEq8.jpg[/media] As I thought! You guys all need to get off your computers, you're using too much energy. How are they powering all this stuff? [media]http://i.imgur.com/mPT9K.jpg[/media] Can you spot the problem? How should we deal with this then? Which office should we open first?

(ugh I didn't want it just being me contributing) Regional Energy Office

Energy office and then Coal-free thing?

[media]http://i.imgur.com/2ZntD.jpg[/media] Energy Office for the US then. Soon get some sustainable energy policy sorted out. Moving on let's look into Latin America; [media]http://i.imgur.com/pXxQq.jpg[/media] Their problem is, predictably, the rainforests. What should we do?

I think you`ll need the Protection of soil and forests for this one. I might be completely wrong though.

I'm going to try streaming this live, get thing moving quicker. Do tell em if there's a problem with it. [url]http://www.livestream.com/fotws[/url] [editline]14th March 2011[/editline] Well, that works. I'll try and do that again if/when anyone is watching.

Arrange a time.
