So I'm thinking of making a Spam MMO. Bear with me.

So we have all kinds of spam games and stuff, and because it's fun I thought of making my own. Yay.

Aaaanyway, idea obviously started with those wonderful little things we call Blorbs. When I first found out about Blorbs, my theory was that they were kindof cellular organisms in a microscopic world (turns out they're actually furry little animals and stuff, but whatever). Now that got me thinking. What if we made an MMO that actually does take place in a cellular world, and the players all start out as a basic, unadulterated biological cell. As the players interact with their surroundings, they evolve depending on what they do and where they go as the turns go on, like in Spore.

And then I have all of these weird conflicting ideas on what to do after that. Maybe the cells divide and the game becomes a civilisation game where you control a species of cells. Maybe the cells divide, but grow into multicellular organisms and stuff. Maybe the cells need to reproduce and mutate to evolve (the mods will just love that, won't they?). Maybe the whole game takes place entirely at cellular level.

And then game mechanics are a problem at the moment too. But still. Good idea, no? With the obvious problem that it's me who suggested it, but otherwise.

Just make a game. Don't base it on a forum community.

That is the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Jorick, I'm actually crying. :_D

[CommunistZed]

Sounds incredible.

[Herzinth]

So as we did things, we'd evolve to get better at doing those specific things?

Shit, Zed would become basically the god of forcing reproduction upon others.

Yeah, a bit like that. The thing is though, due to the wonderful laws of nature, everyone else would evolve to be really hard to reproduce with. Although then we'd probably just get a game of evolutionary cat-and-mouse.

That is rather pathetic.

Until I evolve to have very dominant genes, so that off of the reproduced cells would be copies of me instead of him.
Symbiosis ftw.
