the game would simulate the forum wars, called Angry Nerds.it would be located in the paradox forum world. a later rather expensive dlc would include the Battlefront forums.

there would be stacks of complaining customers and you have to try to make them go away by abstract supply rules, incorrect shorelines, doubtful city placements and abstracted supply rules.

You either have a very vivid imagination or there's something going on which has piqued your interest. Care to share?
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I think you should also include abstract supply rules.

No Steam. Even if it's a boardgame it must be certified as "Steam Free!"

This is not as farfetched as you may think.
Was helping to set up a table at one of the Origins Conventions held outside of Baltimore at Timonium College, oh about 1985.  Lots of gamers were in costume as yankees/rebs/, Startroopers/republican starfighters, Napoleonic grenadiers, Nazi stormtroopers.
