Desk of Da Wheel

Desk of Da Wheel

As you approach the desk, you cannot help but the feel ominous feelings surrounding the hallway, as if the dark side of Oscalantine's imagination creeped upon your back. You resist the urge to flee and approach a little room at the end of the hallway that everyone seems to avoid.

As you approach the ominous, chewed-up wooden door, less and less people walk around you. You take a look back and see the white-themed Office of Secretary of Culture buzzing on by, trying their best to ignore the dark hallway that you are standing on. Eve the automated robots, the oh-so-many creations of Oscalantine created solely for the purpose of making his life better, also seems to be avoiding this place, as you notice that they take a long way around the hallway instead of directly heading to their destination. How very inefficient of them...

Just as you were pondering why the most efficient beings in Tiberiam is taking such an inefficient route, you hear the little room's door slam open as someone quickly leaves the room. You instantly recognize the person: he is a friendly nation next door. He has awesome economy and growing military power in Tiberiam, who was giddy after SoC approving his latest invention. However, he was far from giddy. He ran past you with tears and scream, holding a messy pile of folder in between his right arm. Two of the papers fell as he bumped against you. You reach down and grab the papers for your friend, but your friend is too far away to respond to your call. You decide to look at the papers anyways.

... volcano... accompanied by earthquake of magnitude 11.5.


Cold sweat rolls down your back and you swallow hard. What on earth was going on was beyond you. However, you soon realize what have happened when your secretary makes an urgent call to you: your friend next door was hit by a natural disaster. When you ask what kind of natural disaster it is, you hear exactly what you expected, but wished as hard as you can it won't be so.

Volcano eruption, followed by earthquake of magnitude 11.5, unheard of in history of ever.

You hesitate from making another step forward. The battered door, which was open until a moment ago, is now closed. You decide to take a step back, but it seems like your body is moving on its own. You start to irresistibly walk towards the little, black room. As you walk, you could swear that you are hearing a rolling sound of a wheel... the one you would hear in "Wheel of Fortune" show that you enjoy so much.

You, against your will, turn the battered doorknob to the room with chewed-up plank that says "Desk of Da Wheel." in voodoo-y letters. You open the door, and you are greeted with complete darkness.



"Welcome, Dear Sir, Welcome to Da Game."

Da Nationals

Here is the "registered" nations and their respective numbers. This number indicates when you get the event.

In order to get the ID for registration for Da Wheel, you MUST have requested and obtained database subforum for your nation. Your nation must also be an active participant of the Roleplay community, indicating that banned, inactive, or expired nations will not be counted in this system.

• 1. No one
  
• 2. LightScribe (Former NX401)
  
• 3. Gracealona
  
• 4. Rasvidi
  
• 5. Isis Rakael
  
• 6. Serilaq
  
• 7. KingIsaac
  
• 8. Holy Edesu Socialist State
  
• 9. Civa-Orchestra
  
• 10. Oscalantine
  
• 11. New Numair
  
• 12. Reroll
  

For dramatic reasons... I'll save rolling who is the victim for the last. But if we get one... the magic that we have been saving is not going to happen...
Also, 1 and 12 doesn't happen often... as I have noticed with last and first numbers in random number generator. And hence why no countries are in those numbers.

DISASTROUS Events

These will be DISASTROUS events that the number generator will roll for. Keep in mind that these will ALWAYS be subjected to changes.

Also keep in mind that The magnitudes are EXPONENTIAL, like magnitudes in Seismic scales. This means that magnitude 60 will still not be as bad, but magnitude 100 will be biblical disaster.

Also keep in mind that more prepared your nation is to certain disasters, (Like... more preparation to tsunami and the likes) the more chance that the event will yield to be harmless. Likewise, the more prepared your nation is to certain boons, (Like... having a massive art institute when a great artist is recognized) the better the boon's yield will be)

Also keep in mind that certain events could be proven to be unable for one country (ex. LightScribe having Tsunami). In such cases, another number will be generated to substitute the effect.

AWESOME Events

These will be AWESOME events that you WISH you had. Keep in mind all these are subject to changes.

Recognition of GENIUS!!!

• Basically, it is a free-pass for MODERN inventions or thoughts. If you are feeling unoriginal, SoC can provide you with one.
  
• These are insta-upgrade. No waiting, no construction time. If you willed a satellite to be launched, somehow I'll make it justifiable.
  
• Categories (these are the categories that the insta-invention will be fielded from.
  • Astronomy(Space Engineering Included)
  • Astrology(divinations... works as "get out of jail free" card for future disaster)
  • Physics(creation of prevention against natural disasters EXCEPT pandemic)
  • Engineering(basically any "hard" technology and structures are insta-concepted)
  • Biology(new medicine or prevention for pandemic)
  • Chemistry
  • Computerized(softwares, IT, etc.)
  • Mad Scientist(ANY invention or prevention of your choice.)
  • Religion(helps with insta-conversion of anywhere... I can think of few countries that will LOVE this.)
  • Politics(global influence and leadership instantly achieved)
  • Military(I don't like to put it this way, but basically awesome tactician creating your strategies)
    

Recognition of FAME!!!

• You guys will LOVE this... basically increase to certain part of your economy.
  
• This is PERMANENT increase to % of your budget or GDP. Keep in mind, though, that these CANNOT BE CONVERTED into your def budget under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
  
• Radical Governments usually censor these crap. Meaning that these nations will have tendency to prevent this even from happening. (decided by government types... the most unusual the country is from democracy, the more radical it is)
  
• At the same time, these radical nations also find some crazy ways to abuse their talented... meaning that if you do get the boost, they are much greater than normal country's.
  
• Stacking of Values ends at 4 times... meaning that democratic countries can only go up to 2% increase in any fields Radical countries only get 2 stacks. But good luck getting that. I will make an exception and say that "Ruler Gains Fame" can be stacked 6 times, for grand total of 3% stack. So Democratic countries can TECHNICALLY get up to 5% stack on any budget.

Alight, the Crap is currently TOTALLY under construction... and in BETA phase... I'll solve crap as I go... so...

The numbers are from... 1~100 atm.

1~50 is Nothing (too bad, so sad... )
51~70 Natural Disaster
71~90 Man-Made Disaster
91~93 Recognition of Genius
94~96 Recognition of Fame
97~99 New Resources

100 Be the SoC for a day!


Yes, 100 is a curse.
But in case you get it and you don't say "Fudge it! I'm not torturing myself!!!" you can TG me the specifics and I'll get it into motion. Edit or addition to laws you always wanted? I'll bite.

I volunteer to get the first natural/unnatural disaster.

So when do we do this? I'm in anticipation!

I hope if there are misfortune there are also some good fortune

Wheel of Misfortune BETA Is currently OPEN!!!

Numbers will be drawn shortly.

Alright!!! And damn... numbers don't lie... let's see...

81 / 100
We have [[Man-Made Disaster]] on our hands...

5 / 8
Meaning that we have Computer Failure... but fear not, up to 70 is harmless...

and...

Damn...
73 / 100
Accident did happen, but very minor in breach.


So... the country that will receive the FIRST EVER wheel is...

NUMBER FOUR!!!

So who is that???
XDDDDDDDDD

Chairman Väinö Nakashidze, you got a problem in your computer sector
You have to decide whether you want case1 or case2, but as your Secretary of State, You get case1... no ifs or buts.

---

The Government of Rasvidi's military security has been breached! Just moments ago, Rasvidian intelligence agency have reported that a single hacker managed to overwhelm the safeguard in Rasvidian government network. While the government officials noticed on time and managed to safeguard the crucial informations, the hacker did manage to get away with Chairman Vaino's birthdate.

While the damage done is minor, the government of Rasvidi is shocked and awed at the audacity of the hacker that managed to break into Rasvidian government network. The hacker also managed to write plenty of anti-Rasvidi (although surprisingly little pro-HESS) words in the government websites before retreating. The official Rasvidi's website is littered, jumbled mess! How will the Rasvidian government respond to this event?!

I love this entire system. I have one suggestion, however.

If someone gets a worker strike (1/18?), there is a 1% chance of a revolution. I think the success of said revolution (Currently at 1%, altogether 5.55555555555555e-4%) should be raised to 30% (altogether 0.016666666666666%). That's still abysmally unlikely, and people can still reverse the success with a counterrevolution. Please? (Insert simly of your choice.)

Oh, God. Imagine me getting a religious genius. Osc becomes 80% CoP; religious unity is established throughout the HESS; Rakaelian Catholicism doubles from 10% to 20%; Catholicism becomes the dominant faith in LightScribe/NX401, Serilaq, and Grace. Since my nation's #1 goal is conversion, I want that one.

If Ras gets a religious genius, does the Cult of Chairman Pralnikov get more psychotic, or does godlessness become a craze? Let's agree that Ras can't get that.

XDDD

Actually, I did mention that counterrevolution can occur, right? If not, Counterrevolution can DEFINITELY occur... just an extra work on your part, really.

As for Ras getting religious genius... yes, that would mean that Cult of Rasvidi would be that much more epic, and there will be that much more atheists in the world... as in HESS will have 90% Christian instead of 100% XD

For some reason, this reminds me of Sid Meier's Civilization series.

Hmmm....

I'm not following you, but I may have systematized in order for fairness of the numbers. So I may have accidentally created Civ lookalike

Actually it's more along the lines of "famous people" and benefits that you receive from them. The benefits aren't the same obviously, but it reminded me of that game series.

I guess we should have an exact date when you will "roll" the wheel so we can be prepared

Hmmm... rollings?

I'll have to clarify. But basically, the rule dictates that no two wheel RP can happen at once unless SoC have deemed it so. (And as current SoC, I say that unless the wheel RP is inactive, we'll keep the RP going) So wheel spinning depends on how quickly previous one ends.

With that said, I'm giving approx. a week for RPers selected to accept or refuse the offer made. Once it is done, then I shall start the number again, should the nation reject the offer.

Now, we are waiting for Ras... who seriously needs to respond to this thread.

Alright, seeing as this thread as been dead for awhile. I'm rerolling the numbers... Obviously, Ras's previous offer has expired, so he will have to wait another chance before getting another disaster... is that lucky or unlucky? You decide.

HOLY FUDGE . . .

The mother of all fudges, I screwed up, guys... it looks like we have.... NEW RESOURCE!!!

I know that this will cause a lot of controversies, but numbers don't lie... and if they do, it is my fault... so you can go complain to the admins and we will take a look at this when they come back.

SO... who is the lucky bastard that gets the new resource?????!?!??!?!?!?!

[/insert drumroll]

[[Dude, I'm jittery with anticipation!!! Who will this go to???]]


THE NUMBER IS . . .

...

You serious?

I ... I ... I....... cannot compute what just happened.

Because this is pretty funny... and ironic... the man that SAID that he will reject all numeric generations just got the luckiest draw in the history of... well, the wheel.

Number 5.
Isis Rakael, congratulations! You get a NEW RESOURCE DEPOSIT!!!. You damn bastard...

Alright, let's go on and roll this baby out... see if we can figure out what resource you get...

Oh and... I'm guessing that Isis doesn't have tropical region... so I'm going to roll in "Temperate" Region... don't like it? Sorry, dude.

Oh and the rules for rolling: since it is Temperate region that I'm rolling for, I roll from 1~23 regardless. HOWEVER, if I get any number from 19~23, I reroll, scrapping the previous number.



Okay... damn...

I wouldn't mind if it was Marble or something. But REALLY?! I REALLY need to scrap this to get a new random number generator... this is pretty bad.

President Iroh, you have recently discovered a new Uranium Deposit!!!



Isis, you have... about a week to chew over this. IF YOU ACCEPT, I won't mind, but you will HAVE to obey AT LEAST ONE disaster ruling of the wheel. I know you don't like this, so you can leave the offer standing, and I'll roll again. The numbers don't lie, and I'm sorry for brining you into tough choice. I seriously hopped for something like Beryl or Marble so I can just give it to you... but Uranium is pretty damn rare mineral, so...

Roll again. I will not abide by any ruling of the Wheel, positive or negative.

Good Sport Isis!!! I assure you, though, you will be notified with every rollings. Let me know if certain things interests you.

Regardless... On with the roll...



The Numbers are . . .



Dammit!!! I mean... Yay! nothing happened!

The "tornado" occurred.

Now, who will get this insignificant event? Hmm?


...

12?!

You mad, roller?!

12 = Reroll I'm rolling the entire sequence over again.

---

. . .

... I am SERIOUSLY going to change the random number generator after this.



FUDGE!!! ... I mean... yay! Someone is getting someone important!!!

Alright, we have...

RECOGNITION OF FAME!!!
Person being Recognized: Famous Merchant!!!

And Now, WHO WILL GET THIS?! (I swear, if this comes out with 5 AGAIN, I am going to file a complaint to the Random.org.)



Erm... who is that?

Hmmm.... [/checks]

Alright, I checked. ... and... wait, Civa, do you have Radical government??? Hmmm... I think not. I mean, you MAY be non-democratic, sure. But compared to... I dunno, HESS and Ras? You are pretty moderate in spectrum of things. Not to mention Oscalantine.

But I'll leave the ultimate saying to you, Civa. Are you the radical or not? You decide. I'll continue the roll afterwards.

Exactly how radical are we talking about here?

Civa-Orchestra wrote:

Exactly how radical are we talking about here?

If my understanding of your government is even remotely correct, Civa, your nation is not radical (in these circumstances). You're capitalist. Ras, KI, and I are the odd ones out, being state capitalist, socialist, and communist respectively.

We need to bring back the wheel ASAP, obviously after the map. May I go first?
