http://eregime.org[quote]Balance of Power XIV begins with the inauguration of Gerald Ford in mid 1974. Players can assume the role of any country, militant group, party, organization, cabinet position, public figure, or whatever else one can think of. Every year is divided into Early (January - April), Mid (May - August) and Late (September - December) periods. Each turn lasts about five 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, as well as its 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.[/quote]
