Hi. Cliver here, just planning to try out a gamemode. I'm posting rules here so that I can easily access them again. (Full mod name: "Zero-K but news reporter ruins everything")

The gamemode is an artificial mode that doesn't require changing the game's engine. Instead,
The opponents are permitted to talk to each others, even if the intel given sabotages either of the teams. Furthermore, all of the spectators are anonymous "news reporters" who report on everything that happens on the battlefield.

Even though the rules are short, some people might get upset if they weren't aware of them from the start. I'm writing them here now as a testimony for those rules for the custom gamemode.

Could be fun, but you have to make sure everyone accepts the rules up front.
A custom lobby would probably help in that aspect.

This sounds just like normal game with friend party, tbh. When we play 2v2 or 3v3, we often sitting all in same VC, not only in Zero-K but in different games, and as far as i know, we're not alone with this approach :)
Therefore i'm suggesting a name for this mode "Party mode"

'SHOCKING! Red builds Armada of Singularity Bombers'

"Tensions in the south-western front are reaching new heights after Dark Green and Indigo have pushed Orange off the supermex with artillery and lobsters. Red, who is supposed to be assisting in this front, has been unseen for a long time, and has been presumed afk. Now we know he is, in fact, still ingame, and may be coming back with a vengeance. There are good reasons to believe that Red has at least 4 caretakers connected to his Airplane Plant. If this is true, they must have a fleet of at least 10 Likhos. The anonymous source, a committer to the Zero-K Github, also says that Red plans to abuse a hidden bug involving Hercules and Aegis to give the bomber fleet momentary invulnerability as it passes over Blue's base, a devastating plan if it were to succeed. Is this game-changing plan the reasonn why Team East has been so timid in the South?"

Red puts the paper down and ponders. "Is my team or theirs red?"
