7 Dictators- Players
Maharava:
This is where the Rules will be posted, discussions may be held about them and issues resolved. Players may also talk to each other via this forum (for 'above the board' communications) and talk about the events in the game.
This is not for joking, off-topic chat etc. about the game. For that, try 7 Dictators Community Game.
CURRENT RULES
First Draft of the Community Game '7 Dictators'
There will be 6 player-controlled Admirals and a single player-controlled President.
6 Sectors will exist, each containing one system and at least one inhabited planet. The President will reside on Earth (Capital Sector) and each Admiral will have control of one Sector's defenses, military and Navy.
Admirals are not required to like each other.
Responsibilities – Admiral
An Admiral is charged with defending their Sector from aliens, insurgents and other Admirals (should there be civil war). An Admiral may make a policy once every 6 months: a policy may be 'Increase number of PDC's on all planets', 'Improve weaponry technology', 'Construct additional missile ships' etc. They may not give direct orders, except in battle.
An Admiral may design new ships based on technology known to the Empire at the time. As an Admiral is not a Scientist, they may not ask for specific technologies (i.e., they cannot say 'Research the next level of Capacitor Recharge', instead they can say 'Improve Energy Weapons'. This is to keep fairness between players of varying skill levels, add a level of realism and help keep things moving).
An Admiral may class a design as Public or Secret. Public designs will immediately be known to all players: Secret Designs will only be known to the Admiral and his immediate underlings (the Vice Admirals). If they choose to sell the design, they may. In addition, the ships of other Admirals may spot or scan the 'Secret' vessel, and it's possible the information may just get leaked.
Admirals may promote or dismiss any player-controlled officers in their sectors. Dismissed officers may either appeal to another Admiral for a job or create a new character.
Admirals may order exploration and attempt to increase the size of their Sector. Doing so will open up further mining options and, ultimately, improve an Admirals fleet.
Responsibilities – President
The President is, essentially, charged with keeping the Admirals from killing each other. The President has no territory, however he can be declared interim governor if an Admiral is dismissed. The President can make a policy every 6 months, such as 'Improve the Civilian Economoy', 'Subsidise new Shipping Lines', 'Improve our Engine Technologies' etc. A President may not request Technology from the Energy Weapons, Defensive Systems, Missiles/Kinetic tree.
A Presidents main job (other than to keep the Admirals together) is improving expansion of the Empire. He may order extra Colony Ships, Freighters, Terraformers etc – not exact numbers (due to time constraints, would take too long to work out material costs etc.) but can certainly request extra Asteroid Miners. Presidential policies are enacted Empire-wide (eg, a policy of 'Boost Mining' will result in more Asteroid Mining, further research into Mining Production, etc.)
A President may also limit the number of research labs to which the Admirals have access – however, this limit cannot be lower than 25% (So a planet with 100 labs will have 25 set aside for military research) and all Admirals have the same limit (you can't give one Admiral 25% and another 50%). This is a percentage, so an Admiral with less labs in his sector will still be in a weaker position.
Game time will be advanced in 6-month intervals for the Players, so policies may be changed or added to every 6 months. Players are encouraged to plan ahead etc. A list of known technology will be provided and you may always ask for more information, including screenshots of systems. I will run the game according to the wishes of the players and post results so we don't have to bother with uploads/downloads and excessive waiting. That will also allow us some more freedom in things as I'm an unconflicted Space Master that can throw aliens at you for the hell of it (MWA HA HA). Players are strongly encouraged to SM their own Game World and give themselves the same techs or planets so they can properly design ships or strategies (think of them as Military Simultion rooms where you can test an idea before having it enacted)
If you disagree with these rules or wish to modify/add, please post your idea. Understand that while the game is young, we don't want too much complexity – a game that runs slowly dies.

ALL SECTORS ARE GEO-SURVEYED
MagusXIX:
Trying to wrap my head around this set up a little better. Is this set up with all of the players in one faction? Or are each of the sectors their own separate faction and under an alliance with trade rights, etc., in the game's settings?
Maharava:
Good question! Currently, you're all the same faction though I HIGHLY doubt that will last too long. While we're setting up and expanding, and while the Admirals build fleets etc., you should all remain one faction. Later, however, I would be disappointed if we didn't have at least ONE renegade...
There's no specific rank for an Admiral of a Sector (closest is Civ Administrator) so you're all just 'Admirals' that I'm moving to station on your respective planets. While I toyed with the idea of simply making your characters Sector Governors, I think the ability to design and command your own, personal Capital Ship is just too good an RP opportunity to pass up.
MagusXIX:
Sounds like a good way to start, imo. Any chance we admiral-types can get maps and relevant strategic information? It'd be nice to know who's connected to who, where all of the planets are, what's on them, what sort of resources we have available, and that sort of thing. It'll make strategerizationing much easier. 8)

That word should be taught on Playschool XD
All such information will, naturally, be given out. i'll most likely upload the game for you all to download (tomorrow, it's past midnight in Australialand). For now, i've written down all the techs that pertain to war (i.e, not Terraforming Module) so please have a look in the Designs and Research topic and by all means start designing. EIther post a new Design there as a 'public' one or PM it to me as a Private design
EDIT
Please be as specific as possible when telling me designs (just send me a copy of what you've cooked up) as everyone plays differently. As an example, I don't use missiles very often in my game, so if you say 'A standard point-defense missile' I'll just roll dice for all the numbers (which MAY make the God of all Missiles, but probably just make a Firecracker)
