While I still don't understand the general infatuation with SotU's premier (I suspect it's the chin), I think that the possibility of having a Premier Neuman LIKE antagonist has been brought up enough times it bears discussion in its own right. This isn't a mechanical or a narrative proposal, btw, just a discussion of what that NPC would be like, and what functions (if any) it would perform in the game.
First of all, i don't think this NPC should be the "prize", either in the S2S, or the SotU sense
Many a post has already been made on the subject, but generally speaking , people have clearly expressed they expect some explicit T&A out of their models. On the flip side though, a lot of people have really spoken out for the layer of depth that a well acted antagonist can add to the game... so i would propose to not be greedy;
Let adult models do adult modelling (very limited acting, emphasis is on sex pay-off) and let someone with decent acting skills (negotiate with a freelance semi-professional webcam-person of some description) do that part.
What do i envision this antagonist doing narratively?
Narrative, this would be tied to w/e event that happens at the turn limit. Looking at modern politics for reference, I see her as a far-rightish, anti-establishment (secular AND non-secular), pseudo-feministic Lepen-esque figure that will, like you, be a fringe member of the political landscape, but will come out of nowhere to win the elections at the end of the turn limit. Major events will include the poll leader for aforementioned election being ousted by a scandal, making her the surprise winner of the election (again, mirroring french politics right the fuck now)
WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT - you mean we could LITERALLY be looking at Claire except before she was elected in SotU?
Well, if you can't get enough of DAT CHIN, and she's available for a reasonable price... this could be a prequel story of sorts, why not?
What do i envision this antagonist doing mechanically?
I don't expect her to serve any mechanical purpose except being the "face on the game-over screen" if you lose. Aside from this, I would prefer to limit the role of this NPC as a source of audio-visual feedback for when they achieve major milestones, or adding urgency to turn limits.
What would the scenes look like?
For example, if you achieve the "80% of people follow the religion" win condition, you can have a scene where she says that, despite her misgivings about the PC himself, she has, like many others, awakened to the divine truth he professes, and will endeavor to see that faith takes center-stage in her government. This is really cute from a production pov; if the actress is not great, this will feel really two faced compared to initial "down with the religious bigwigs" rhetoric. If the actress is good, this will genuinely feel like she has experienced a religious revival.
If you meet, say, the 50% mark in terms of turns, this might be her making a public showing with evidence that the current premier is corrupt (for example).
I can see a lot of potential in this...
I'm sure you can, you dirty chin-fetishist. Bottom line is, this NPC would be, in the words of Jefferson, someone that you fuck with, rather than fuck outright.
