What's the "Joe Shmoe" of different cultures? Or the "John/Jane Smith"?

  • Not to stifle further discussion, but this Wikipedia page has a wealth of examples

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_placeholder_names_by_language

    • Unusual turn structures

  • Rather than trying to define abstractions for turns and rounds, maybe you could implement the game state (and possibly individual players) as a finite state machine.

    In this model, the way you set up the states and transitions for a particular game will capture its idiosyncracies in turn and round order.

    • What would you call a monarchist government where multiple families rules in turns?

  • Sounds similar to how the monarch of Malaysia is chosen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_Malaysian_thrones

    The next national ruler is chosen from the nine hereditary state sultans. It's technically an elective monarchy, but there is a conventional rotation order among the states.
