Drug war game

2001-04-24 04:34:59+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

At various times Todd and I have mused over the possible joys of a massively multiplayer game that let people take different roles. If you had 13 year old reflexes you could play the grunt on the front lines, if your tastes ran towards the political you could be the president who deployed those troops. Coupling that idea with a little Jonathan Swift, on /. Roblimo proposes an Internet Drug Game, with a few slots for Drug Czar, and numerous too-thin avatars for those who want to play a junkie searching for the next fix. Obviously you'd also need spokespeople for trying to justify shooting down civilian aircraft as well.
