Crisis Committee


The Crisis Committee

Crisis offers delegates a dynamic environment that pushes the limits of their ingenuity and tenacity. It boasts a unique input-output system that enables delegates to grasp the weight of their actions as they navigate an increasingly complex simulation around them. The mandate of a crisis council is often flexible, as delegates expand or lose powers, and ongoing situations alter the council's competencies.

Resolve conflict with the might of your pen or undermine the efforts of your peers with the grit of your sword. Venture the borders between known and unknown realities – but if plans fail, brace for impact.
