Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

A mostly mystery/somewhat horror/survival game set in a small town high in the mountains. The town would be deserted except for a handful of Mod-control NPCs who woke up in the town a month before the characters do, and have been trying to figure out what is going on until the 'newcomers' show up. Everyone wakes up to a lady on the television using the town's emergency broadcast system to try and speak with all the people that had turned up, inviting them to a town hall meeting to see if they know anything.

It would be plot heavy, I am thinking that the mods themselves wouldn't *have* characters outside of the NPCs they control. Events would be things like, right after everyone arrives, the power to the town goes out and a group is sent to the power station and the dam to find out what happened, with faint warnings not to stay out after dark because one of the original NPC survivors went out at night and never came back. Just a quick example.

Power nerfing for the sake of plot, probably, and with the 'wrap around' world where if you walk too far down the road you end up back on the other side of town. Limited characters per app round for the sake of plot control, probably no overt 'network' system, I am still thinking that over, but people could use radios and walkie-talkies and such, and there would be a town disaster alert system for major announcements.

I have half the plot already sketched out and a basic idea of why it is going on. But plot heavy, fast-paced games tend to not really work anymore...

i would app to this in a second flat

i'd be interested in this!
