Idea for Defcon 2

[Supreme Soviet]

I think a good idea for defcon 2 would be to recreate the "WOPR" of wargames exactly. For example you could play a "grand campain" as either
USA or USSR, but could also run many other smaller scenarios including
China VS USSR(Chinese or Soviet 1st strike)
China VS USA(American or Chinese 1st strike)
China/USA VS USSR(Chinese/American 1st strike)
China/USSR VS USA(Chinese/Soviet 1st strike)
India VS Pakistan
Cuban missile crisis escalition(USSR first strike)
Cuban missile crisis esclation(USA first strike)
Israel VS Arab state(player choses Arab state)
European theatre-wide tactical nuclear esclation(USSR 1st strike)
European theatre-wide tactical nuclear esclation(NATO 1st strike)

I think this would be very fun, you could either play it yourself, or with a friend on the net, or hotseat(hotseat would work with the game starting on pause mode then players would issue their orders then unpausing the game and it would go into real time mode, the game would pause for orders every now and then(if on real-time mode(game not sped up) it would pause every 5 mins).

Or you could just run simulations of the war scenario's listed above and see how the computer thinks it would turn out(you would juat basicialy watch a nuclear war at any speed you wanted, also that's why I listed
the scenarios with certian nations striking first).

So, sound like a good idea for Defcon 2? I'd be MORE than willing to pay for this!

Why are you already trying to design a Defcon 2 (which, given IV's track record, will never happen, anyway) before Defcon has even been released? Why was it necessary to create a new thread for these ideas when you could have used this one? or this one? or this one?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

I was simply trying to state an idea as to how I think a possible "Defcon 2" would be good if Intervoersion were to make one.

Dull. You would know precisely what the first move is. After that, it is just a normal game, at best.

Introversion do not make sequels. And for some reason unknown to me, people get EXTREMELY upset if someone puts forth the theoretical notion of one.

@Supreme Soviet
Just delete your post. That's what I did in my idea thread before.
New ideas are not wanted here... (but I like your ideas!)

[RabidZombie]

Well, usually because they have told people before not to do it, and it DOES get very fustrating saying the same thing over and over.

[sunshadow]

Sorry, didn't know that!
I suggest to make a sticky thread with the topic "Don't post any ideas for Defcon".

[xander]

It is not simply the fact that you are posting ideas for Defcon 2, but the fact that there are at least three other threads with the exact same purpose. Search the forums. Read a back a couple of weeks. Learn what people feel is appropriate. Lurk for a while. People here (okay, just me) get a bit pissed off when you make comments that are (1) reduandant and (2) not really appropriate to the general culture of the boards in the first place.

i wonder what michaelangelo would have done if he had a bunch of peasants beneath him while painting the sistine chapel yelling up suggestions. i've yet to see the sistine chapel, but if i ever can, i'll look to see if there are any strange paint splatters on the floor.
