How much control can you have on anothers action?
What is freedom?
What is security?
What is manipulation?
What is control?
What is the future?
In 2004 the Goverment instituted the population control act in the
interested of preserving humanities future. The Big Machine, upon who's
projections future society was planned, deemed it nessessary.
Only certain people were given permission to have a child. Parents
who disobeyed the law were taken away and publicly executed. Those
illegal children became outcasters, kept in government detention
facilities.
In a world where you have no rights, do you ever wish you had never
been born?
"Pay no attention to the monsters of the past and the monsters of the future,
walk the Now road."
A 5 player serious systemless multiform.
Heavily inspired by the novel Sea of Glass by Barry B Longyear.
Sea of Glass is possible my favourite ever novel. Its an evil little
book about a future where everyone is monitored and projections has
become a science with which all human action can be predicted and
planned and the future based on the fact that we know what people will
do now. And its easy to tweak things. That is put someone in
circumstances to gain a desired reaction. A Big Machine plans the
future.
Illegal children are put in a detenstion center under horrific
conditions. And there isn't alot more I can say without giving plot
spoliers for the novel - which is well worth tracking down a copy and
reading.
This game should be an intense game, with a high level of mind fuck
and lots of basic sociology. Think of Beta
v0.1 as almost a precurser to this game. In that that both deal
with basic sociology theory. In this case the whole nature vrs nuture
and enviroment vrs genetics arguement.
