No Dice
The people have just passed Proposition 666, which calls on the legislature to outlaw all forms of gambling in the State.
What consitutes gambling, and what should be considered legitimate entreprenurial risk taking is far from clear. The devil is bound to be in the detail of the legislation and all sorts of interest groups are out in force and its boom times for lobbyists.
Players are members of one of these interest groups: casino owners. Only by sticking together can you hope to persuade the legislature to define "gambling" in such a way that your casinos can continue to operate profitably. However, there might be a few niche markets for other types of games available. Most people would play EU3 in the privacy of their own homes, but perhaps some would find playing in a simulated setting of Versailles attractive. Not all casinos could adapt like this, but if a few conspired to put the rest out of business first ...
This is like a normal game of werewolf, except that no dice will be used by the GM in resolving "chance" interactions between players. Once the setup is complete, there will be plenty of opportunities for chaos, but NO DICE.
See "The GM shouldn't roll dice" thread if you want more on the thinking behind what the rules.
Players are encouraged to RP by picking a name for their casino, the legal loopholes they are lobbying for, and inventing scurrilous business plans for those they are accusing being wolves.
