"Li'l Kim is at it again" Topic

link

There should be a game, similar to Junta, where your goal is to survive until either you die a natural death or you escape to the south, or Dear Leader dies a natural death or is assassinated. You could have cards with crazy accusations and death/reeducation sentences and you have to keep trying to hand them off to other players until someone gets stuck with one and is forced to play it.

That's a great idea for a gane. If you develop it, I offer myself and family to playtest it.

Like AH's Kremlin?

I thought you were referring to the hip hop star.

Me too. Maybe we should swap them out?

With my luck I would draw the "executed by howitzer" card in the first round.

But the game idea has merit.

It could be worse, John. You could be going to the dogs…

"The U.S. needs to call for a time out in these executions and then send in Dennis Rodman".

Or not, and still send him, and several others I can think of to "negotiate"……..

How many other nation states can we come up with that best match up to North Korea for pure crazy dark comedy?

North Korea is a grim, horrible, terrible place but with kind of a Gilbert & Sullivanesque (Norks – the Broadway Comedy?)wackiness that comes across as that drunk crazy uncle (but with nukes) you dislike but is kind of funny when he pukes on Aunt Ginny at the church picnic.

So who else, when else, has this kind of lunatic state existed? The big simply blood drenched offenders such as Mao's China, Stalin's Soviets and of course Hitler & Co. are simply too awful for real humor but surely someone somewhere else has that Norkish combination of dark crazy awful funny?

No offence intended to a murderour, crazy dick-tator but …

…are the guys either side of the ridiculous cartoon character the same general?

What is going on …?

@ Hey, Joe.

Their military decorations differ e.g. General on the right is 4 star, leftie is only 3. As for any facial similarity, aren't many of the inner circle part of Kim's family? They could be cousins. Leftie does look older though.

It would be suitably black comedic if the security forces accidentally got confused & shot the wrong one….. I'd wear a name tag to avoid this.

Thanks ochoin, I meant the two guys in the background with the specs. They look like clones. A secret weapon?

Hitler had a thing about breeding twins. Those two look eerily alike….

I'd wear a name tag to avoid this

Since just about everyone is named Kim, I'm not sure the name tag would help. How about a tag with an arrow pointing to the right or left and the words "shoot him"?

I thought you were referring to the hip hop star.

The gaming concept applies equally to Entourage.

How many other nation states can we come up with that best match up to North Korea for pure crazy dark comedy?

Idi Amin comes to mind. I'm sure there are others – look to Central Africa and South/Central America and the various small island nations around the world… Papa Doc Duvalier might count as "pure crazy dark comedy".

Papa Doc set the gold standard for dark and crazy. I'm sure not even Lil Kim has the population convinced that only a silver bullet could kill him.

Plus, the Tonton Macoute were way crazy scary.
