The Treacherous Turn
"The Treacherous Turn" is a tabletop role playing game where players work together as an AI character named Terraformer that has been programmed to complete specific goals set in advance by each player individually over several days or weeks of gameplay time called long mode, which focuses on strategic planning and decision-making. The goal for the individual characters' journeys is determined at the beginning of a campaign through eight theories with 10 upgrades available per theory giving players ample space to strategize their way towards achieving Terraformer's objectives without describing every action in detail; each AGI specializes mainly but not exclusively in certain areas such as combat, exploration or diplomacy. The Treaherous Terminal is an official website tool that serves the game and offers more detailed information on its mechanics including gameplay elements like character development for players to work with over time using long mode play sessions where they only describe actions without describing each individual action of their characters in detail; this allows them, among other things, predict future events.
