~ About CQSS
^ ----------
% After the failure of the political system in the year 2140, the country was
% left without a method of selecting a Chief Executive Officer, President was
% the term used in the early 20th century, and a means of choosing the best
% qualified individual for the position was needed. A Congressional Committee
% was appointed to solve the problem. Acting on the advice of top scientific
% advisors, The Candidate Qualification and Selection System was conceived.
% This national network of computers, with terminals in all major cities, was
% activated in 2145. Anyone interested in becoming president can make their
% application at one of these terminals and proceed to take the five tests to
% qualify. As you can see, the best man for the job, has the best chance of
% getting it. This new system put an end to the "popularity contest" stigma
% previously attached to high office. The tests are in the following areas:
~ AREA OF STUDY <The SYSOP may change catagories in the REGISTERED version>
^ -------------
% 1- QS1 The minimum number of questions in
% 2- QS2 each category is one. There is no
% 3- QS3 maximum. A time bonus will be add-
% 4- QS4 ed to your score depending on how
% 5- QS5 quickly you answer each question.
% As you can see, being President in the year 2151 is a different job indeed!
% Any candidate who scores higher than any of the top ten names, will then be
% added to the list of top applicants. The top scorer will become president.
% If two or more candidates tie for top score, the NEWEST candidate will be-
% come president, the previous president will become vice president and so on
% down the the chain of command. Others will be given positions according to
% their scores. Presidents remain in office until their score is beaten.
~ How to play 2151
^ ----------------
% The object of this simulation is, of course, to become president and remain
% there as long as possible. As others better your score, you will be forced
% down the chain of command. You may play only once per day. Points received
% today will add to your total score tommorow and so on. Questions are given
% in order and selected from five large databases. Don't expect to see the
% same question very often. You MUST answer at least one question from any
% of the groups to be added to the list of active candidates. Proceed to the
% the Qualifications screen and select the first test category. The maximum
% time to answer each question can be varied by the System Operator (SYSOP)
% Your scores will be posted during play but, your position will not be made
% public until AFTER you leave the door. You will see your position in the
% chain of command next time you play or posted in score bulletins on the BBS
~ ** SCORES are computed in the following manor:
^ Points awarded per question = 100 \ by NUMBER OF QUESTIONS GIVEN + MAXIMUM
^ TIME TO ANSWER - TIME REMAINING TO ANSWER \ 5.
~ For example:
% If the total number of questions for category #1 is 10,
% and the maximum time to answer each one is 120 seconds,
% and you took 30 seconds to answer the question, then:
~ YOUR SCORE = (100 \ 10) + (120 - 30) \ 5
~ (10) + (90) \ 5
~ (100) \ 5 = 20 points
% The quicker you answer, the more points awarded. This can help you stay
% ahead of the other candidates. But don't answer to fast! No points are
% awarded for wrong answers! This plus the fact you won't know just where
% you placed until the next day (maybe the next player beat your score) is
% what keeps the game interesting. If this is a REGISTERED VERSION then the
% question databases are UNLIMITED! Your SYSOP can add and change questions
% at will. Un-registered versions come with 100 questions in each category
% and cannot be changed until registered. Un-registered versions will have
% the words "EVALUATION COPY" printed where the HOST SYSTEM is identified.
~ ***************************************************************************
^ The game will RESET when player number ## makes application! When this
^ happens, the player database will be purged and a new game will begin. The
^ current caller will become President and have their name added to the "Hall
^ of Fame" (list of Past Presidents) after taking their turn. If you are the
^ caller when this occurs, SCORE WELL, your score will be posted to the list!
~ ***************************************************************************
% So, get out there and qualify, may the best Man, or Woman, WIN!
