Eliminate the F***ing Elitists! (game)
 

Haven't had a game in awhile, so here goes:

The object of this game is to conquer the board. The board is set up by month-year blocks (see second post). The game ends when only one team remains. The game is played in turns.

• Your team is determined by the month & year of your FOFC "Join Date."
• Each FOFC member can post once per turn, and only for your team. Once your team is eliminated, you can post for any team, but your posts only count as 1/10^th the value of a regular team member.
• Turns are exactly 23 hours, 59 minutes long, and any posts or edits 24 hours or more after the turn begins do not count. Turns are announced by a post from me.
• Each FOFC member post should include one of the two following activities:

1. 1. Defend
   2. Attack: (target)

• You may edit your posts, up until the turn deadline. If your post is edited after the turn deadline, it does not count. If your attack post does not designate a target, it does not count.
• You may only attack a team which is adjacent up, down, or to either side (no diagonals)
• If a team is attacked by more posts than it defends, it is eliminated. The team that contributed the most attack posts conquers the block. In the event of a tie, the eliminated team will be split in half, or if need be determined at random.
• Each month/year team constitutes a single entity, regardless of how many other teams it has defeated. Placement on the board only determines who you can attack or be attacked by. Otherwise, size really does NOT matter. :D

Turn #1 begins NOW.

Defend.

Attack Dec00.

On 3rd thought, ATTACK OCT 2002 !

I attack May 2001

Edit #2:

Attack March '03.

whoops. I defend November 2001

Attack Oct 2001

Defend.

I attack Feb-02

DEFEND!

yeah... i kinda missed that rule. i edited my post to make a legal move.

hmm.. so many targets.. so few posts ;)

Nah, never mind. DEFEND!

Attack Feb '01

ATTACK October 2001

I'll attack Sept '02....for now.

I attack October 2001 also.

Attack Nov 00.

I think Oct 2000 needs to refocus (I've changed above).

Attack Nov. 2002

What happens if two blocks eliminate each other?

Screw defense. The elitists should have more than enough campers to keep the base safe.

Attack Nov 2000.

Attack Oct 2001

They'd just swap spots.

Changing tactics:

Sacrifice our current position and ATTACK OCT 2002!!!

ABC, looks like we're in this thing together...

ATTACK OCTOBER 2001!!!

We need more defense - time for another change.

Attack: May 02
SI

hey WSU, nice to see ya(hope you are playing too!)

DEFEND for now.

I got your back. :D

I attack Oct 01

We are the fantastic flying BumCovers!

Defend!

hmm, scary thought...really ! :)

Defend.

Now, unless I'm mistaken, unless everyone gangs up on the larger months like Oct 2000 (which probably has in the teens or 20s of active users), is there really any hope of a month like little April '02 where only Ardent and I have over 200 posts (and, hence, are active users)?

SI

Attack October 2001

You're right SI, we all need to hang together against oct 2000. (hence the thread title...)

Side note : Nov '02 has the privilege of hosting 2 game designers, Shaun Sullivan and Markus Heinsson (sorry for the spelling...).

Of course, to counter all that talent, we're stuck with JeeberD... :p

On behalf of my fellow March '01s, I would hereby like to extend an offer of goodwill and cooperation to out neighbors to the east, west, south and beyond. It is in the best interests of our sovereign states to band together to form a bond against the warmongering hordes from the northeast (otherwise known as the October '00's). This treaty that we have extended would pledge that any hositilities would be directed towards non-coalition forces and that each nation's efforts would be made in the best interests of the group.

attack nov 2000

By the way, October 2000's. As your distant neighbor to the south, I offer an olive branch of peace, so that we may work together in destroying all others.

Note I have already declared war on October 2001, my sign of sincerity.

Defend (Nov 2000)

Defend

Our October 2000 brethern. We must let loose the dogs of war.. but not on each other. The plebians of the future of FOFC are standing back and laughing at us. Laughing at our stupidity. They will swoop in and attack whoever is left. Join us in attacking those who do not have our wit, our wisdom, our experience.

JIHAD ON THE NEWCOMERS!

Embrace the horror!

Attack August 2001

Take the wise Warlord's lead...

PLEDGE FEALTY TO OCTOBER 2000!!!!

Attack Feb '02!

edited to correct our General's directional mistake!

defend

I hope I'm not the only June 03. I defend my tiny little country. Maybe we can withstand a couple of rounds. DEFEND JUNE 03

ATTACK! March '01

Attack, April 2001.

AE

attack Oct 2001

btw, am I the only one who's getting a giggle that the controversy of the day has exploded the same day that this game about the F***ing Elitists here (Note: BIG SMILEY FACE THERE) started? :)

Defend

Defened (***ing Elitists!)

Hell yeah RISK FOFC STYLE!!

Defend.

I was thinking more along the lines of Diplomacy...

Attack: July 2003

That's closer to what I was driving at. The attempts at cooperation will probably develop more once some of the smaller entities get gobbled up. Then the Pure Insatiable Evil that is October 2000 will have become more clear. ;)

If I nuke myself, will the fallout kill all the others in a square radius around me?

We played a game similar to this the week before S.B. in Government, and the teach mentioned Diplomacy.

No, but if you change your own position three times, you can become a free agent. Unleash it!!! :D

EDIT: I have absolutely no idea how to play this.. It doesn't make sense to me, I re-read the rules about 4 times, and still nothing is coming of it.

ok, if we get annexed I am blaming Buzzbee. It is me and him against the world.

Defend June 2002

mauboy: it's easy. just type "attack nov. 2002"

Too much defense! Follow the battle standard! You know, into battle? GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Defend



Oops, pasted the wrong thing...

Nov 2001's UNITE! Here are some uplifting pics to fuel the war machine...















Flash Gordon approaching.

Well my October 2000 friends, I am forced to defend now, at this unprovked attacked on my home.

I request military assistance next turn to punish the nation of November 2002.

I got your back, Frog Boy!!

Defend.

Heh, between the two of us we have about a third as many posts as QuikSand.

defend

please don't bother us.
defend Apr '03

test - What is my registration date ?

Defend

Attack December 2000

Attack Jan 2001

Mr. Warlord-

I think we can get along quite nicely on this matter. Attacks on November 2002 have already commenced. We need merely one more attacker this turn to end their reign of tyranny!

-Nov. 2003

Good man. My emmissaries are already working on military assistance for this campaign.

warlord will backstab you quicker than you can type backstab.

You would DARE question my honor? We of the October 2002 are a just people, and men of our word. We shall fight to the end, and then fight again.

You will find neither a better, more loyal ally, nor a more fierce ally. Do not underestimate my small nation, for it shall be your undoing. Or something.

Pay no mind to this propaganda. Not only is the accused a proponent of the duck-and-chuck, he promises you peace, tranquility and hot water while leeching your month slowly and painfully. Before you know it, you are a man without a month. And that is not good.

You forgot ham. I also promise ham.

I have nothing but respect and trust for my caffeinated brethren. I would gladly trade technologies, iron, and horses with Coffee Warlord any day of the week. Especially if I could get some of his ham.

(erm, that didn't sound quite right...)

• It is much better to tempt fortune where it can favor you than to see your certain ruin by not tempting it.

Defend against Oct. 2000

Attack October 01!
