After reading through the phase 1 game yesterday I did a little brainstorming for new coalition ideas. This is one I came up with:

The "Trendsetting" Coalition: This coalition has a normal leader and anyone can join it. Points are awarded depending on the order in which people join this coalition. The leader gains 3*n points. All other members are awarded 3 points plus 3 point for each member who joins after you. (Example: if 3 join after the leader, the leader gets 12 points; the next person to join gains 9; the next 6; and the last 3)

At first I was thinking of calling this the "Cryto-currency mining" coalition, but it could model anything that becomes a trend. Those who jump in early are more rewarded.

I don't like it much, as it would just give people who are online constantly (like me) an unfair advantage.

I mean, I like the idea but not how it would play out in practice.

Yeah I would have to echo Claesar here that it would be a great idea in theory, but not really fair timing wise. I've thought about playing this in person real time (like 5 minute phases or something), and you could have coalitions like this or lots others in that version.

Maybe the third iteration of this game could be a live game on discord or something.
