Completely agree - we'll need to take this into account in the way we do missions, and add some tension when we can. Btw, this reminds me of an idea I had some time ago, about using a virus as an external threat. This could be a good idea for a mission - something like Gaia or a bunch of crazy eco-terrorists spread a virus. It surfaces from time to time, infecting websites, and then you have to go and try to clean it... The tension would come from the fact that you may not always know when it's going to surface, and since the virus spreads from website to website while you're trying to clean it, you have to act fast. Also, there could also be a multi-player variant of that game - with some players being able to detect where the virus is, others would be able to clean it, some others would create new antiviruses when it mutates... Quite a few possibilities here : ) > We always want to know what's going to happen next. > Something that would be cool too, its to have deadlines, to give the > feeling that time is passing and the government is not doing anything > to help, to the contrary, they are trying to boycott Gaia, and its > making Gaia more and more angry with humanity. Very good idea... This could be very good with multiplayer aspects: get 2000 people to do mission X before October 10th or another catastrophy will happen. > So, actually, we're helping Gaia in order to keep living and at the > same time we have to protect ourselves from the government who > probably won't like to know that we're doing this :D Ah, that's another good external threat yes: hidding from government agencies. And possibly another multiplayer mission: the government agency is trying to hack WWF.com - it needs at least 2000 players who go on WWF.com and click "protect" to divert the hacking attempt...
