Testing Guidelines

The Test:

Category 1 - Military

1.1 Your nation is embroiled in a bitter conflict with a rival power. Play out the life of an individual in the conflict. You must use an "everyday" type of character. Put in context you will be playing the red shirt, not Captain Kirk. Take us through their part of the conflict and to its conclusion.

1.2 You are a spy for your nation who is in deep cover in a foreign power. Your nation enjoys lukewarm but peaceful relations with this foreign entity. You uncover a potential plot for invasion/assassination(your choice) against your nation. However you are unsure if these are the genuine article or false documents designed to flush you out. Play out which it is and the ramifications that result of your actions.

1.3 A plague has struck your most developed world/habitat and undergone quarantine. Your government cannot afford to abandon the place because it is a key ship manufacturing and trading component for your nation. The only solution that your government can come up with is to cleanse the planet via bombardment leaving the docks safe and then rebuild. Play out either someone attempting to flee the planet or a member of the clean up crew or rebuilding effort.

Category 2 - Diplomacy

2.1 Older more powerful ESUS members desire to wage war with an equally powerful alliance. However you do not have the economy/military(your choice) to engage in what is certainly going to be a long, bloody and costly conflict. Play out the diplomatic talks between you and an older ESUS nation and the result of said talks.

2.2 A radical group has committed persistent attacks on your nation's infrastructure and civilian population. The nation they hail from has done nothing to apprehend or cease these attacks and seem to endorse them. The people of your nation cry for retribution. Normally you would declare war on the belligerent nation; but there is a problem. These radicals are operating out of a fellow ESUS nation. Play out the hostile and tense negotiations.

2.3 You have been utterly defeated in a a campaign against a foreign power. Enemy warships orbit your home world poised to glass it. Negotiate the terms of your surrender with the aggressor's dignitaries.
