Your faction is the Q continuum and your species is Q - your goal is to keep the game in balance for you entertainment. You win if the game gets down to a 1 Starfleet and 1 Borg tie and you are still alive. You are practically immortal. To aid you in your new self amusement of watching the mortals fight without a victory, = you have at your disposal 2 each of the abilities they can buy = 2 force fields, 2 phasers, 2 telepathic abilities, and 2 ship commands (12 extra votes total). You can demand 1 more if you do not use any during the 1st 3 days. If you are investigated and are unshielded, = you will revealed as faction = Q continuum, species = Q, and abilities = many and you will be told that you have been investigated but not who did it. You do have knowledge that the others do not have = there are only 3 factions in the game = several Starfleet, a few Borg, and one Q.
Q can not be assimilated but can be killed. if an assimilation attempt is made and you are unshielded, the Borg will be told who you are and you will lose a remaining ability of the Borg's choosing.
Q has 1 use of the genesis devise to bring 1 player back to life immediately after death to be used on any player including yourself. You must tell me in advance when you want to use it so that i do not reveal the players role info in the forum. It will used on yourself the first time it is needed unless you say otherwise. For instance, you may see that the game is becoming unbalanced and tell me to resurrect the next Borg to die.
only one purchased phaser kill and one investigation may be used each day by the entire compliment of the Enterprise. if 2 or more requests are made for the same day = a random drawing will be held to determine whose request is implemented. all others will be informed that their request was not processed.
- you are not included in this limitation concerning the whole ship but you personally can use only 1 of the 4 abilities per day.
you are considered both Starfleet and Borg and neither Starfleet nor Borg - therefore, you are not part of either of their win clauses.
This is a very important and complex role - even i do not understand all of it or how it might play out. ask any questions and we will discuss it - good luck
