Yes, the title does not decieve your eyes. The alt-text of this xkcd comic asks us in reference to Wargames: "HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF STRIP GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR?". Which once upon a time gave me an idea to try playing that sometime, using Introversion's DEFCON as an environmentally-concious substitute for the real thermonuclear war. However, i've hit a bit of a snag once i started thinking about it: i can't seem to make up good stripping rules that would be in accordance with the game's scoring system. Maybe i'm just too lazy and not thinking hard enough, but i don't even really know where to start with it. So i thought to ask RPS people if they have any ideas about that.
For the uninitiated, there are three type of scoring in DEFCON: Default (+2 points for every million of enemy civilians killed, -1 for every million you lose), Genocide (+1 for every million killed, as the name implies), and Survivor (-1 for every million lost, score goes down from 100 to zero).
