In an effort to get away from the increasingly depressing "how to run a
dictaorship" thread, does anyone have any idea how you would implement "Fail
Safe" as a BNW senario. I've only seen "Dr. Stranglelove", but I've read the
plot summary provided on this list. Seems like a hard one to convert to me.
The end actually seems less plusable than the end of "Dr. Strangelove", and
that's a comedy.
