Abstract: STARPOWER is a powerful simulation that shocks participants into a realization of the effects of power on both ruler and ruled. Its effect depends partly on the absence of a time horizon to guide the relationship between the groups and to give perspective to the decision making of the ruling class. A time variable reduces the tensions and reestablishes a link with real historical processes. This article describes and discusses such a modification.
