I'm happy to turn this into a negotiation/diplomatic game sort of thing. random RP's can be really fun, but I honestly prefer having some sort of structure and rules for what can happen is also fun. The only downside is it takes more work to create and keep track of things like resources, money and so on. But I'm definitely in.

Yeah, for keeping track of stuff im not too worried, i can make a semi-automated tracking system with spreadsheets pretty easily. 

So for 'game mechanics' so far, we have bribing of Electors, laws that Electors have to vote on, sublets that produce different resources, specific goals for each guild, and some sort of currency. Before we go to the next phase of fleshing out the rules, is there anything else we want to add? @everyone

Killing electors. And trying to kill each other.

Would killing electors lead to new ones (presumably more under your control) replacing them? And would it actually be possible to kill other Archons?

I was thinking it more of a board wipe, like let's say the other Archon bribed this elector, and you simply don't have the funds to bribe them back. Kill them, so they're under no one's control.

 

As for killing archons, it might be better to have assassination attempts as an event you can trigger, which harms your reputation/ Electors get scared and are less likely to work with you.

If you want some help with that please let me know. I’m kind of obsessed with spreadsheets at the moment

I use spreadsheets to keep track of most of the rps I’m in. 
 

also, I hope more people join this. I think it has the potential to be really fun.

I’m actually really looking forward to this rp. It definitely could become something
