There's going to be a Cold War forum game starting on October 1 over on a "forum for forum games": http://eregime.org/index.php?act=idx
If you're wondering why I'm posting this here, it is because of only one reason: Jerome Scuggs, who back in 2005 founded a glorious group on a now-defunct forum which helped inspire the founding of another forum which in turn led to the creation of the forum I am now linking to for this forum game. Truly, Jerome is a great guy and everything he has ever done in his entire life is good.
Balance of Power XIII begins in January 1981. Players assume the role of countries, militant groups, political parties, or whatever other position they can think of. Every year is divided into Early (January - April), Mid (May - August) and Late (September - December) periods. Each turn lasts about four days in the real world.
The game is played by sending a private message to the Game Master (the person in charge of the game) with information on what actions you want to do for the turn. The GM will inform you how much an action costs in terms of credits or points, as well as their chance of success (from 1 to 10) and potential effects. Turn PMs may be formatted however one wishes, so long as it's legible to the GM.
