Proposal: Goldeneye

Add the following after the second paragraph of the “Command Actions” rule:

Each CIC has a number of Spies that can be assigned as “spying” or “performing counter-espionage”. If the total of assigned Spies exceeds the amount of Spy resources of a CIC after a Tick is resolved, all Spies from that CIC at set to “unassigned”.

Add the following to the end of the “Command Actions” rule:

As a Command action a CIC may assign or unassign (but not both) any number of his Spies to “spy” on a single stat of another CIC or “perform counter-espionage”. A CIC may not assign more Spies than their current Spy resources permit.

Add the following as the last resolution point of the “Tick” rule:

* For each unique pair of CICs (A and B)
  * If A has assigned fewer Spies to any one of B’s stats than B has assigned to counter-espionage, nothing happens.
  * If A has assigned Spies to a stat that is at 0 or is lower than A’s own corresponding stat, nothing happens.
  * If A has assigned more Spies to any one of B’s stats than B has assigned to counter-espionage, B loses one point in that stat for every “spying” Spy and A gains one point in that stat for every “spying” Spy.

Use spies to steal information from more advanced countries or safeguard your secrets.

Interesting… is there a reason you’re reducing stats rather than revealing activity?

(Note that, as Dewaldo has commented on Slack, this post was not submitted to the blog until a day later, and is displaying the timestamp for when it was begun. The EE timestamp for the posted version is 3-8-17 17:51. I think this is only relevant for purposes of measuring how long the proposal has been “open for voting” if it times out.)

I dont believe it would work as intended because “If a CIC’s Stats total more than 100, any CIC may remove 1 from each of that CIC’s Stats which is above zero (excluding Recovery)”

Any stat profit you gain would kind of count for nothing.

against As neither losing nor gaining Stats is very meaningful.

against per Kevan. 1 point of stat loss is not very much, but a larger amount of loss might turn spies into way to, with an accomplice, reduce your over-assigned stats.
