I promise a Mage 20th game.
I failed to deliver.
I hate to fail to deliver.
So I'm trying this again.
Mage Game:
Paradigm
Objective:
Make your Chantry/Cell's position the Dominant Global Paradigm
Story: A recent advance in magick allows the dominant paradigm to be changed with much greater ease, a butterfly effect of small changes that can permanently alter the world in your favor, but it will take 18 months to complete. At the end, the side who has the most victories...wins.
Every week, three rounds will take place.
Round 1: Article selection. You post an article that is interesting and surely mage activity.
Everyone votes on it. The winner gets points towards victory.
Round 2: You give an explanation for why the winning Article of the previous week's article involve YOUR attempt to subvert or enhance the paradigm in some way.
Everyone votes on it. The winner gets points towards victory.
Round 3: You post a counter response to what REALLY happened in the posted article. Otherwise, same as round 2.
Points are kept secret but you do know who won the previous round. From time to time I will post progress of what the paradigm 'looks like' likely every three months. Its direction but not actual change.
Considered Sub games:
Cult as a mini game for players interested, likely my 5-6 most dedicated players.
A solo game for a character of pretty powerful mien in Mage 20th.
Mail, email or message or comment if interested. The core game is designed to be EASY to play, something you can do once a week for 15-20 minutes.

Round 2: Chantry Nearer By Far sent its elite cabal of Etherites to uncover this for hopes of uncovering an interesting artifact, but little did they know that it was guarded by a Ventrue of ancient mein, so they were not able to recover the artifact but did still gain some useful publicity and belief in steampunk!
Week 3
Round 1 Chantry Nearer By Far: Tesla's Death Ray discovered etc (I mean, wonderful headline but unlikely ;) )
Round 2 Chantry All Hail the Hypnotoad used nephrandic tactics to make goats go to heaven and sheep go to hell, the side effect of which was...
Round 3 Chantry Never Say Die made a recovery operation and assaulted the vampire when the sleepers were not paying attention and...
So....
Round 1: Submit a headline (like the kind people do here all the time)
Round 2: Propose 'what was really going on' in the shadows for your paradigm
Round 3: Response to 'what was really going on'
And on and on each week, rotating in and out
