Alright, some of you on Skype will remember that I was asking about concepts.
... Well, I decided to try something different.
~~~
The date is January 1, 2016. Business as usual - the world is in a state of... relative peace. It is a time of constant progress in the sciences, one largely unimpeded by the destructive and draining wars of ages past. But across the world, mysterious entities are popping up. Hyperintelligent artificial intelligences. They seem to be showing themselves to only a few people to whom they pledge their loyalty, and yet their power is immense. Each of these people are capable programmers... and yet, these AIs are certainly not of their creation.
What will these individuals do with their newfound and powerful companions? Will they spread humanity across the stars? Or plunge it into war?
~~~
(So. This is a "what if" scenario. What if the AIs came to Earth in the present day? This will offer the players an even greater degree of freedom than was found in the original Creator Project. They'll be able to shape the way human technology progresses. They'll be placed in a familiar geopolitical environment... and have the opportunity to do essentially whatever they please with it.
Basically, this is an attempt to capitalize upon and improve the free nature of the original game while giving... slightly more structure, hopefully.)
An important note: The players will not be the only ones on the global geopolitical stage this time. Other nations and groups will be acting according to their own issues, and some may even have AIs of their own.
~~~
The rules are simple!
1. You will start with a human player character and an AI character. The human's character is determined by you, the AI's character is... not. At any time, you can switch between their viewpoints. As the human, you'll control yourself and assign tasks for the AI. Beware... for the AI is, after all, sentient and thinking. As the AI, you will have access to just about anything that connects to something else. Your fingers are in every network. Note: You cannot play as both the AI and human at the same time.
2. Supernatural elements most certainly exist in this world and are essential to the plot. However, you are not allowed to start with any such abilities. Trust me, you'll have plenty of opportunities to exploit the supernatural.
3. While you are free to do basically anything you wish, I control the effects of those actions you make. And if something's clearly impossible, expect a snarky management in response.
Also, not a rule, but assume the geopolitical situation and technology and all that are equivalent to that of the beginning of 2016. There has been no alternate history... yet.
