From the group:
For this event we ran the megagame Watch the Skies. A game where the players representing nations confront an alien incursion. Unknown to players at the time, the aliens were refugees seeking a new home or fuel to continue their journey. The game began with three alien incursions but only one success in China. There they picked up the Chinese head of state seemingly “kidnapping” him back to their base. This would set the tone for the game with the Aliens desperately trying to communicate their good intentions along with their Chinese allies only to face distrust and suspicion from the rest of the world. After an untimely turn of phrase from the Japanese Prime Minister, the existence of aliens was revealed and the entire world began to happen. In a last ditch effort to figure out what was going on the press, US, and Brazil all sent representatives to talk to the Aliens and secure peace but it was too late. Unwilling to trust those who had been in direct contact with the aliens, the forces of the earth combined to deliver a devastating strike on the Alien Moonbase while the world stood on the brink of total collapse.
