Each turn represents a nominal one to five years in the Federation. You must collectively submit a budget, based on an abstracted number of worker credits (representing time, materials, skilled workers, will of the people and so on). Budgets must remain within the limits of each category, based on any monies remaining to the Council after any income and expense adjustments (but prior to any commitments). If you wish to keep specific budget items or policy decisions hidden from the public these should be marked as Eyes Only.
Please use the following structure for final budget submission, it will help speed up turn reports :)
quote:
[9, <45%] Construction and Engineering = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+27+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
[8, <40%] Research and Development = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+24+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
[6, <40%] Economy and Trade = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+18+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
[3, <25%] Diplomacy = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+ 9+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
[8, <30%] Espionage and Counter-Intelligence = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+24+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
[2, <15%] Stellar Warfare = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+ 6+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
[7, <15%] Planetary Warfare = ????m, ??%
- ???? m - (??? = ??+21+??) - {Topic} ({Bonuses})
= ????m, ??%
You will have a further proportion of the Available Budget for use by your polity, starting at 5%. You should submit the one to three budget items your polity will be working on in a private line to me, together with whether these will be Secret.
Once the budget has been confirmed then for each budget item or policy choice, roll an open-ended D100 (using the Rolemaster rules for 'open-ended', i.e. <05, re-roll and subtract; >95, re-roll and add) plus three times the relevant Aptitude and then include any bonuses from facilities, units, named character or other situational modifiers (from me).
For each line item it helps me if you separate out the roll and the individual bonuses applied, eg
quote:
- ???? m - ( 69 = 33+27+ 3+ 6) - {Topic} ({Some Person}, {Some Event})
- ???? m - (!66 = 66+27+ 3+ 6) - {Topic} ({Some Person}, {Some Event})
- ???? m - (168 =132+27+ 3+ 6) - {Topic} ({Some Person}, {Some Event})
Result bands broadly as below:
Result | Description |
---|
>176 | Absolute Success |
111 to 175 | Success |
91 to 110 | Near Success |
UM 100 | Unusual Success |
76 to 90 | Partial Success |
UM 66 | Unusual Event |
-05 to 75 | Failure |
-25 to -04 | Absolute Failure |
<-26 | Spectacular Failure |
Poetic license will be employed in my interpretation of the results
