How do the Story Lines fit into the simulation?
The Story Lines are optional for the user, but they are strongly recommended. These scenarios enable participants to see that routine governmental decisions cannot be made in a vacuum, due to a highly fluid and unpredictable political environment. These Story Lines, which change each year, range from the deadly serious to the ironic and are designed to bring more realism to the simulation experience. Each individual Story Line is carefully constructed to provide background information, create tension (through memos, meetings, press conferences and editorials) and then move the participants to make decisions or take some action. The participants do have discretion, but often the environmental pressures shape their decisions, as they do in the real world.
