Yup, I ran the Politics game, pitting Republicans against Democrats, last July. It was a too ambitious affair, although designed with good intentions. There were things that went well, but in the end, I had to adjust some rules on the fly because I didn't properly plan for how clever you bastards would be with the bills.
Speaking of Star Trek, if I ever run a game again, I intend to run Evil Star Trek, as I have put out in the past, which will also be a two thread style game like Pass's (and like the Political game). It will be simpler, though. It's based on the old (original) Star Trek episode where the Enterprise is linked to an alter universe Enterprise where the traditional good characters are matched up with their evil alter egos in the other universe, and the only way you can tell good Kirk from evil Kirk (and everyone else) is that the evil ones all sported "cool" goatees.
P.S. I am in.
