westworld idea

[worldtech]

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.

i'll be honest, i'm not a fan of the secretly robots angle because i think that the same metaplot could be achieved without it and making some characters into robots would be more of an au than a memory wipe, imo.

i also think you may be going a little too full force into it. i know the setting and concept leaves a lot open to work with, it's part of the fun of it and what makes it a great potential dwrp setting, but i feel like you're overloading on possibilities. robots aside, i completely support a lot of what you're thinking of doing, but i think you should slow down and consider what you want available to people from the very beginning of the game and what you'd like to introduce later on so you don't burn yourself out.

I see where you're coming from there, and as you op says the memory wipe thing does solve that problem without the need to involve robots at all. I could probably be flexible with it, it just does seem a bit sad to go westworld with the theme and then leave out the robots bit completely.

But yes, the idea certainly wouldn't be to throw all these things at it at once, I just wanted to give op the whole pitch, rather than spring dinosaurs on them out of nowhere in eight months time. I see what you mean though, so I will cool my roll. It would be way too much otherwise, as you say.

I'm interested if you're thinking of actually doing this. And while I don't have time to mod, I'd be glad to help with the set up if you wanna brainstorm.

[worldtech]

I would definitely find that useful, anon. Do you have a sock journal or something I can contact you at? I don't have anyone else to bounce what might be good or bad ideas off at the moment, and it's exactly what I need. That and coding, which I know crap all about.

DMed you :)

I'm on the other side from anon above me - I would love to keep the secretly robots angle. I'd be down to app in my characters, either AU'd as robots or with the understanding that the mods might reveal a certain number of PCs to be hosts.
