Teams
The "Good" Nations - 10 Nations
The Good Nations are committed to protecting peace and keeping the status quo. To do so otherwise invites the threat of nuclear war again.
Good Nation Abilities:
Two good counties have the ability to send a Super Spy to one country each night and identify if it is one of the rogue nations. The country visited by the Super Spy will not know if they were visited.
The Rogue Nations - 2 Nations
The Rogue Nations feel the current treaty prevent them from their manifest destiny to rule the world and have banded together to decrypt into the CRAY32's cipher and gain access to it's network thereby controlling the world's nuclear weapons.
Rogue Nation Abilities:
The rogue nations have a secret forum which they may use at any time. The Rogue nations have the ability to launch nuclear annihilation and destroy one country each night.
Secret Alliance
All countries (both Good and Rogue) may attempt to enter into a secret alliance with other countries. A secret alliance allows nations to pool their resources and attempt to take over the world on their own.
A Secret Alliance may be attempted by one country sending an envoy to their another country. This allows the two countries to enter into a secret communication and they may send one message to each other (the message must first be sent to the moderator who will forward it).
If a country received more than one envoy then they may only choose ONE country to enter into a secret alliance. They may also choose to reject all envoys.
Once communication has been established both countries are considered in an "temporary" secret alliance. "Temporary" secret alliances do not trigger the Secret Alliance Victory condition.
To make the secret alliance permanent and to preserve the secret alliance each day all countries in the secret alliance MUST have voted together when the final vote count is decided whether by majority vote or time limit. If all alliance countries votes have not been posted by the final vote, their alliance is voided. Those countries involved may never again attempt to enter a secret alliance again with the members of the former secret alliance. They may attempt to enter into a new secret alliance but only with countries they were not involved with in the former secret alliance.
Other countries may be invited to enter the secret alliance but all current alliance member however all countries MUST have voted together when the final vote count is decide or the ENTIRE secret alliance is voided.
Countries will only be aware of the secret alliance members they have direct contact with but will not automatically know any secret alliance members of the country they are sending to or receiving an envoy from. If a secret alliance is voided, countries will be informed but will not be told of all secret alliance members.
If a country in an existing alliance is destroyed, the alliance itself is not destroyed and the remaining members will be told they are still in "alliance alpha" but may not know who they are members with.
If a country sends an envoy to a former secret alliance member that has been voided, they will only be informed that their envoy has been rejected.
If at any time during the game exactly half of the counties are in a secret alliance all those countries take over the world and win the game.
