I was loosely working on a Westworld based idea and struggling with it. The problem was I want to have half the characters being secretly robots and pull a robot insurrection overarching metaplot where the world breaks down and the boundaries between parks is broken - cue Roman invasion, velociraptor attacks etc. - only I was working on the idea alone and Christmas happened, plus the game idea got so big I think it needs a few people to mod it.
I generally speaking dislike AUing characters and really wanted a game that wasn't, given that most games are AUs atm, but it being optional AUing seems like a compromise I could work with if you could help me work the secretly robots angle in somewhere. I want a monthly plot, player plot encouraged jamjar-with-a-habitrail sort of game with an active network, and the chance for any host or guest character to take on the role of characters in the setting, i.e. they can be voted in or rewritten into the role of town mayor/sheriff/doctor, for example. I'd like to have secret theme park running overlords/scientists interfering, maybe some status change tech stuff going wrong here and there, exploration-discovery or contraband item rewards for extra AC, and possibly an in game bounty hunting concept. Maybe rewriting your brain temporarily to fill out a new storyline is an in game punishment for those characters who want to blow things up/kill people/escape? idk
If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, please pm this journal! I have a lot of ideas, obviously, but I think a wild west setting with a techy metaplot might actually draw some interest, and if I did it alone it would probably suck.
