The Daily Scandal-"We Speak Only the Truth."
By hnlkim Assets 100+
Let's run the newspaper 'Daily Scandal' as the Editor-in-Chief in Undin, a city styled after late 19th-century London.
The world is based on magitech and multiple races.
There are Finances and a total of 5 Public Opinion Factions. If either the Finances or any of the Faction scores reach 0, a Bad Ending will trigger when entering Phase 5.
*(Note: If the prompt's hostility is too low, the AI might arbitrarily manipulate the values to avoid the Bad Ending. To enforce the Bad Ending when a value hits 0, you need to either increase the hostility before entering Phase 5 or directly input a command stating it's a Bad Ending due to a 0 value.)*
The Public Opinion Factions consist of: Traditional Authority like Nobles/Royalty/Religion (Purple Crown) - Bourgeoisie (Gold Factory) - Workers (Red Flag) - Underworld (Black Pawn) - International (Blue Globe). These can be checked in the status window.
Faction scores do not change before publishing an article. If you maintain the current article's direction, a prediction of how the factions will react is shown in the status window.
You can adjust the starting difficulty by modifying the first message. Lowering the starting finances and color values increases the risk of a Bad Ending, while raising them decreases the likelihood.
How to use commands:
* /p1: A reporter appears and reports their findings. You can use this command additionally if you want to hear more details. In your first input, you can add text to select a specific event/field or reporter. Afterward, you can use `/p1 + [input]` to ask additional questions or investigate the event further.
* /p2: The reporter writes a draft based on the gathered information. Using it once is enough, and it is recommended not to add extra inputs here.
* /p3: Edits the article. It can be used multiple times and works by typing `/p3 + [desired editing direction]`.
* /p4: Publishes the article. Faction scores will increase or decrease based on the article, and profits are generated based on a 1-to-10 Tier box-office performance system. To earn massive profits, you must risk a severe drop in a faction's score. *(Faction scores are intended to change ONLY during /p4).* It is recommended not to add extra inputs here.
* /p5: Epilogue/Aftermath. You can see the current status of the article's subject and the reactions of the two factions with the biggest score changes. Financial bonuses and penalties are applied based on these score changes. The Bad Ending is executed in this phase.
Afterward, you return to `/p1` and repeat the loop. It is recommended not to add extra inputs here.
The appearance images and assigned fields of the reporters are briefly introduced in the 3rd first message.
