Protect the Unprotectable Peace project.

This forum will be used to discuss the Protect the Unprotectable Peace project, hosted by me, Cliver.
Description:
Project requirements - 3 players at minimum + project manager.
Project objectives - allow no faction (player) to die for 1-2 hours.
Next project mutator - Players have full vision of each others.
Spare project mutators: If a player acts hostile, robots may go rogue.
Schedule - 11:30 am, GMT, Sunday. Duration - 1-5 hours.

War crimes!

Yep, the project is simple enough. However, the intriguing part of it is that I have never seen a strategy game where, if given the chance, people wouldn't destroy each others. So, it's more than just building a sandcastle in a safe environment. It's building a safe environment for building castles, kek.
The less cheating input from the hosts, the better.

Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction.

Please explain the goals and challenge of your concept.

war is peace

I think this is more of an event than a game, and it requires a level of buy-in from the participants that has not been supplied.

I see many guesses, but little answers.
Creating a "pacifist" game is incredibly hard, especially in a war game like Zero-K. That was the thrill for me. This event is less of a "game bound by rules," and more of an experiment. It was made not to guess what happens if several players unite to keep the peace, but to see what happens if several players unite, after diplomatically agreeing to not destroy each others.
Although history has shown that peace turns into war times eventually, I believe there might be use in tracking the "peace-to-war" transition in a simulation like Zero-K.
I apologize if someone still does not grasp the concept of the project. Regardless, the tests will begin only after enough players have directly confirmed that they're willing to participate in the tests. Alternatively, if someone knows a similar experiment that was done before, I would appreciate citation. I'm not sure what would researching the "peace-to-war" transition grant us, but I assume it'll either allow us to understand the specific condition under which wars start, or, magically, explain us how to keep the peace up eternally. Though, I'm not too hopeful.

If this is meant to be some kind of experiment relating to the reasons behind real war and peace, then forget it.

Zero-K is not an appropriate venue for simulating or experimenting with such a thing for a multitude of reasons.

Surely it just depends on the players that you gather and how well you communicate what you're trying to do. I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do, but to me it doesn't sound too hard to find some players to idle in a game for a while.
