Yes, quite cool :D > I would also LOVE to play one of them in a game! > Is hackit going in that way? It is yes, in a way. The story won't be the same (love story on Facebook that apparently turns bad when the guy actually meets the girl), but the principle is very similar yes. There is still some work to do on the gameplay mechanisms before choosing a story, but if you have a look at the first mission, you'll notice a few resemblances: http://community.hackit.cx/wiki/Mission_engine Also, the actions would not be only hacking - we may have to hack a few things, but the current development orientation is more about trying to earn the trust of the guy you're talking to in the first mission described above. And for this, you'd have to get him some information somewhere on the Web, maybe post something for him on a forum or a newspaper... Basically do some of the actions you do every day on the Web : ) And last, the context - this one hasn't been decided either, but currently there are discussions about using the Gaia Theory. I don't know if you have heard about it, but basically it says that the Earth is a living organism - one that can think, and react. So the secret organization would be aware of this - they know that when a cold summer or a natural catastrophe happens, it's a warning... And they may be asking you to help them prove this, for example. Ok, that's a long email already : ) Let me know what you think!
