An idea for a game...
« on: June 10, 2012, 11:30:07 am »

Ok, I've just confirmed that the idea I had for a game is possible.

What would people think about an RPG as it were where all players are god, and all gods are in the poll at the top. The number of votes corresponds to the "influence" that that god has.
Then stuff happens.
If your influence is below a certain amount for too long, you're forgotten and you disappear; you only have power over the world because of people believing you exist.

Ideas?

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Would it be a fixed vote, or a changeable vote?

Changeable, that was the idea. Things happen and the masses choose a new God.

1. Changeable votes don't work, you'd have to reset the polls every time
2. There's an idea thread, called Gamers block. Sadly it seems to be ignored most of the time
3. It would encourage people to make multiple accounts, and unless you find yourself a rather large group of dedicated followers it would quickly die
4. There have been lots of Godhood style games lately, most of them died, so the chance that you'd find the above group is quite small.

Edit: My information was outdated.
