Politics

No matter where you go, you can't escape it. Politics. Whether it's the politics of personal relationships, friendships, the art of The Deal, or the traditional "governing" kind...whether you're talking fiction or non-...politics will always be lurking somewhere.

Right now, KTDARPG is drowning in a sea of politics, both in the game & among the players as we all jockey for power in our fictional city of Fort River. Deals are being struck, strategies played out. Raids & intimidation & mud-slinging are rampant. Fiction mirroring real life? That's what our Illustrious Game Master said he wanted. I think he's getting it in spades.

So far I don't think anybody's feelings've been hurt (we don't take it quite that seriously, I hope), but it's still early days. We're actually having our "elections" via player polls outside the game, then the game mirror our player-election results. We're only half-way through with the voting so, yeah, early days.

As much as it'll be interesting to see who wins what, I'm more intrigued with what happens next--the dynamics of the characters as they assume their new "official" roles as either City Council Members (you just know there's gonna wind up being a council chairman--that should be fun!) or the brand new Sheriff. The next phase will almost certainly deal with power-mongering & corruption in one form or another.
