Bullets and Ballots:
I was apart of the United States social group. We found ways to combat communism, while supporting human rights and democracy. We wanted an anit communist leader for Guatameala that is friendly with the US. Like open with trades and other such things. Our "power" status during this game was that we had 60 MSU's, but we did not have the power to vote. During the game, we did nothing, we had other groups come up to use and try to persuade us to do things. We took all treaties into consideration. Then, we staryed making treaties with some groups like the Peasants saying they promise to vote for an anti commnist leader. There was some power shfting between social groups. Groups gave up their MSU's and some groups tried to get others to give up some votes. Also, groups had the oppurtunity to kill or kidnap people from other groups if they didn't like what they were saying. The US gave the Army and Wealthy 20 MSU's to vote for the leader we wanted so we have them some power. But, their was always loopholes in the treaties so we never had any assurance during the game so that we got what we wanted. There was both cooperation and conflict during this game. Groups had to persuade others and make them sign treaties to get what they wanted. Sometimes groups would get mad at others because they didn't believe in the same thing or they wouldn't sign a treaty. At the end of the game the Army and Wealthy took over and they said they wanted an oligarchy. But, then we took over and had all of the groups on our side so that we got what we wanted. We had to take over because we needed to get what we wanted. So, we spread out all of the Army and Wealthy's MSU's and we elected a democratic leader. During this game each group had a cultural mosaic or a set of views that they had to work for. To work for this, there was conflicts and cooperation between the social groups. Lastly, humans migrate if they chose to or not. An example of this is someone got kidnapped so he had to migrate.
