I actually started working on this one before TWE was even a thing, but TWE got done faster so it was added first. My main motivations were that there hadn't been a chain in a while, and I wanted to challenge myself with the this project. This was a new experience and it was a labor of love.Trotterdam wrote:Can non-democracies get the chain?
No. The whole premise of the chain wouldn't make sense for a dictatorship, as chances are they're already spying on their citizens and oppressing them.

Even if they're benevolent dictatorships with loads of integrity?

A chain is a collection of issues on a same storyline, where the next issue you receive depends on the last option you picked. We have three now, An International Incident, The Enemy Within, and @@CAPITAL@@gateValentine Z wrote:Stupid question, but what's a chain?

I always wonder, can you top in Authoritarianism AND Integrity? Seems quite difficult for me, because More Stalins = More Corruption.

The chain wouldn't make much sense if you don't begin it as a democracy, especially considering certain issues later in the chain.
Though when I did a validity check for the first issue of the chain, it was at 50% of nations, which I believe is higher than Enemy Within.Tinhampton wrote:Can you recieve @@CAPITAL@@gate multiple times, or is it get-it-once-and-never-again?

You don't need to have the capital city to get it, and I can't reveal if you can get it again later on.
Barry Maxman (the reference of that name is fairly obvious) does appear in the chain, but only depending on what options you pick. I can't reveal any more than that.

Yeah, while I think the basic premise of the chain would be easily applicable to dictatorships, that would require alternate versions for at least three options, and I know that writing an entire chain is already a lot of work even without mirror versions of everything. So while I'm a little disappointed, I can't fault you.
Yeah, that one requires a capitalist nation because the building that got bombed was a stock exchange, despite that the nature of the building is completely irrelevant to the plot (except maybe #746 2/3, and even then, only weakly) and it could just as easily have been anything else.Nation of Quebec wrote:Though when I did a validity check for the first issue of the chain, it was at 50% of nations, which I believe is higher than Enemy Within.
