Instead of block quoting that whole saga of questions I’ll just go chronologically…
1. You can keep him as a main character if you’d like to, but I don’t think you have to. If you were to take him out you would have one less perspective, because all of the winner spots are filled. (If you really want him to win you can have one of my branches)
2. If any of you want to make fillers, go for it, but I think that we have enough. I keep losing track of how many we have, no matter how many times I count, lol.
3. Ok let me see…
Military branch: Maybe the Military game should focus more on strategy and battle plans. Like they each have a map that shows holographic armies, and they have to use the best tactic to defeat their enemy. They either fight a computer program or another player.
Scientific branch: Traps involving scientific stuff sounds good. What kind of science though? The broadest options are Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geology, and Astronomy. Maybe a little bit of all of them??
Technology branch: Good as is.
Diplomacy branch: I like that idea, where they are judged at the party and the Race is just a sort of decoy. Maybe they all have to give a speech? Or settle some sort of planned argument between major supporters?
Judicial branch: Earlier we said that this could be a written test. Maybe like a 200 question pop quiz on the Laws of the Galactic Council.
Legislative branch: I like the card idea. But how does it show that the players are good at making up laws?? This one is hard. Another, totally separate idea would be that they have to write a new constitution for some theoretical moon-colony or town and they get judged on the quality of it.
Medical branch: New idea: maybe they each get a virus sample and have to file a full medical report (Symptoms, severity of sickness, way it affects different people, ect.) and then have to develop a cure/ antivirus for it in enough time to save their patient.
TOU branch: Maybe the players have to deliver a very important piece of information. They are given an objective from TOU that tells them what to do. They get into a room, and have to avoid or fight off guards (if they fight more will keep coming and the whole game will be a lot harder.). Then they go through the course while being pursued. If we aren’t using the Final Battle for Military or the Living Battle for Judicial we could incorporate it here. They have to board a shuttle or get to their home base to complete the challenge.
Another random idea I had: maybe Andor had eight winners picked out but one or two are so good that they beat him at his own rig and replace the selected winners.
I’m going to echo Wing here, but that list was REALLY helpful. Thanks!
I really like your character designs, btw. The picture of Vika is actually very close to the way I pictured her from your description.
Wow, sorry for the 500 word response, but it looks like everyone is writing long posts rn so might as well join the bandwagon!
