The Mutiny: Difference between revisions

Line 72:

* ''[[Allegiance]]'', a team-based multiplayer [[Simulation Game|Space Sim]] / [[Real Time Strategy]] hybrid, has [[The Mutiny]] as part of its gameplay mechanics. One player on each team fills the role of a commander, taking care of most of the RTS-level elements of the game -- building bases, investing in [[Tech Tree|research]], and managing the big picture of the battle. At any time, any other member of the team can propose a mutiny, at which point everyone on the team gets a vote -- and if the mutiny passes, that player takes over. This doesn't happen too often, but will happen to commanders who make egregious mistakes, especially if they behave arrogantly or harshly towards the rest of their team despite their own obvious flaws. (Competent commanders can usually get away with it, though...)

* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]'', the War Room erupted into this after the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff attempted to call off the Nuclear Strike after he learned from Big Boss that the missile data was fake.

* In ''[[Sid ~~Meiers~~ Pirates]]!'', you take command of your first ship (at 18!) as the result of a mutiny. Also, while you're commanding your fleet, if you have too many pirates and too little gold, the crew will become upset after a time and mutiny. Also if you run out of food. Or try to sail for too long without dividing the loot from the expedition. However, the mathematics for happiness work in your favor here: if you have enough gold in the hold to ensure 1000 gold per person minimum (after your cut), the crew will never get upset about the amount of time you spend sailing, and you can keep the expedition alive indefinitely (though the risk of losing it all in a bad engagement is ''very'' real, as your crew is likely relatively small).

* ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'': After a failed attempt to assassinate Edea, the ''real'' boss of Balamb Garden, NORG, decided to offer the head of the involved ![[SEE Ds]] (your party, that is) to her on a silver plate to save his own arse. [[Anti-Mutiny|Cid doesn't take this well, and decided that he's through with this greedy bastard]]. A Garden-wide armed conflict ensues between NORG's goons and students loyal to Cid.
