Description:
Agenda:Y2K is a multi-player play-by-e-mail economic-military-diplomatic
simulation game of the challenges of running a country or organization in
the modern world. Each player controls one of the countries, terrorist
organizations, drug cartels, oil corporations or media empires of the
world deciding everything about it as he sees fit. Players submit their
orders to a referee called an avatar. Turns are processed weekly and
represent the passage of one week in game time. The game design stresses
realism. The actions taken by the players in the game have the same
effects as those actions would have had if the real world leaders had
taken them.
There are provisions for players to enter the game at any time, taking
over the governments or organizations which has no current player. This
not only provides an open-ended game environment, but also provides for
replacements for players who drop out.
