So I've been trying to get into programming

[Buster's Uncle]

Summon Dale.

He might actually take an interest and remember who his buddies are...

[Rusty Edge]

Interesting. So is this a multi-player game with a randomly assigned "it"?

[Metaliturtle]

It's not really playable yet so much as a monster v monster sim.  I could use it as a tool to put together a forum-type game though with minimal effort on my part (as long as there's participation from players)

[Rusty Edge]

Or perhaps  a single player game filled with potential enemies...

housecats
decepticons
neighbors
mold in the bathroom
vitamins made in China
employers

One of them really is going to kill you... one way or another.

[Dale]

Summoned.

[Buster's Uncle]

Ah.  Paranoia never there when I need it, but bites my butt when I don't.

There's a game idea...

I'm confused but I like the idea of a game where the object is to figure out who is out to get you and you have to create arguments as to why...

Yeah.  That's actually a million-dollar game idea if you can make it work...

The secret is a lot of procedurally generated stuff, and a very rare 'win' condition.  We should summon Dale

?

[Dale]

You are talking about the table top rpg called Paranoia.

Still popular a new version was successfully funded on kickstarter last year.

[Buster's Uncle]

Pity the obvious title's taken, but no surprise.  I did figure it sounded like a text-heavy RPG a-la Orient Express from the late 90s, IIRC.

[Dale]

That type of game would probably work best in the Thief fps style. Or if party based it could open up the eternity engine style.

[Buster's Uncle]

I wouldn't think party-based would be right for this concept...
