Okay, some PROGRAMMING related plans that also involve some ELECTRONICS.

1: We need an alarm system to tell us when someone opens an entrance to our lab. At first, this should be a Vibration Sensor (1 Copper Wire) attached to a Basic Control Unit plugged into a wall outlet. The control unit detects when the wire jiggles and automatically sends a ping to a linked Basic Control Unit we carry at all times.

Requires: Invent "Vibration Sensor", Program "Alarm Pager".

2: We need security cameras outside the building linked to closed-circuit TVs arranged in a big wall in front of our desk.

Requires: Invent "CCTV Array"

3: We should create a Genuine Star Wars Communicator that we can give to the boy, to earn his loyalty. It should contain a microphone that sends its signal back to a Radio Receiver stationed in our lab and plugged into the wall. This will let us spy on him and his friends. It should also have a speaker so we can give him advice or commands. Tell him the button turns it on or off, but the button actually just turns his speaker on or off. The microphone is always on.

Requires: Invent "Microphone", Invent "Radio Receiver", Invent "Speaker"

4: We need to make a heater for SCIENCE! and also for making coffee. It needs a casing, a heating element, an insulated wire leading to the wall, and a switch to turn it on and off.

Requires: Invent "Flat Coil Heater"

Other plans:

5: Go to LIBRARY. Acquire LIBRARY CARD. Check out a couple good SCIENCE! books.

Use one of their computers to go on the Internet. Create a couple Hotmail accounts. Look on Craigslist for people giving away free stuff. Search for remote-controlled toy gatherings coming up in the area so we can harvest more parts. 


During tonight we should be able to do #1 and #3 and #4 completely except for giving the kid the toy.

I like those ideas, although we should link the vibration sensor to always turn off the Star Wars Communicator. We can enable it when we're alone in our lab, as we don't want the kid to think we're spying on him.

Pandarsenic, I would like to make this into a game with fixed rules that is easy to pick up and GM. I can't run it, but maybe someone else can. Are you okay with this?

Also, do you know where the various rules posts are? (e.g. the ones that talk about the various fields of science, talk about xp gain, outline various miscellanea, etc.)

I vote for Leo's plan, which shall henceforth be called "OPERATION LION."

The first robot model we'll mass produce will also be called Lion? Flying or no, I prefer Gespenst II's, myself.

95% of the rules are "Make shit up arbitrarily based on what seems like it should be right as I go."

The rest is things like my vague idea of the scale of the levels and the like.

Also:
Sorry for delays, everybubbly. New quarter just started and (2/3 of the way into the year) I've discovered I may be getting moved out of the room I've been in. I'm a bit stressed but I'm trying to keep up as best I can. For now, I need to sleep so I can get to the section I need to be at in 9 hours.

All in good time Acanthus.  In his last post, Pandarsenic explained that he needed to get some rest and that he is going through a stressful time at work.  When he's good and ready he'll get the next turn up.  Just be patient, play the new version, report some bugs, open a cavern.  Jeeze.
