The great new conspiracy.
Miracle shooter

Released buy Aries and already responsible for at least one death this AR shoot-em-up has got to be a conspiracy.

What we have is a training ground creating a generation of fighters with real skill and real abilities that will instantly translate to real guns. Unlike previous VR games that only gave the players skill with guns MS is forcing them to train there bodies as well. The best players will be good enough to be immediately indoctrinated into proactive security units, only requiring training in specific unit procedures.

Further the game provides easy access to send psychotropic programs into user’s brains. Thus ensuring that offers will not be refused.

Why is Aries doing this, what do they have planed? And have the manufacturers of the competing games soon to hit the market got similar ideas or are they only after game revenue.

Idea’s myself and my group came up with include,

Recruiting for knight errant
Recruiting for Special Forces
Uploading psychotropic programs to selected users (easy access)
Recruiting for bug spirit investment
All of the above

As I understand policy now that this has been posted on the internet it will not be part of the metta plot (although I would have no objection to it being used, even if it was not on the table before, you have my permission to use this even if it is my original idea no benefit to me)

Many thanks bud.

Awesome idea, duely stolen with thanks.

The, all of them, option seems good.

Recruiting for bug spirit infestation? I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Good eye for evil, though.

actually considering that ares was investing animals with bug spirits in its secret compound in the far north of canada (see T2) not that much of a stretch

I ran a Lonestar game a few years ago that had a hook involving a system like this. A corp was developing a sim based learning system that utilized skillsofts, hot sim, and electric stimulus to nerves and muscles while the learner was playing the sim games to develop actual skills.

One of the test subjects was an ex Wildcat with experimental alpha-ware wired reflexes and skillsofts. Those systems interacted poorly with the new sim-learning, and launched the former Wildcat into psychosis from which he began acting out the murders from the Sherlock Holmes books (Sherlock Holmes based detective games were used in the sim training).

Apparently Fanpro won't take ANY Fan-produced stuff, no matter how good the idea into the SR Meta-Plot, unless it's submitted in Snail Mail to FP.. at least that's what I gather.

I was told that they would cancel metaplot of somebody posted it online. I don’t know the truth of it but considering potential copyright issues I can see it being true.

The amount of attention miracle shooter has gotten is comparable to the first mention of the universal brotherhood. Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure it's more like:

For reasons of potential copywrite infringement, Rob goes out of his way to not read dumpshock threads. So if you post a really cool idea on DS and it gets a lot of traction, it won't end up in a sourcebook and you won't be paid $300 for it. However, if you then take that idea and send it to Fanpro as a book submission, they'll evaluate it and possibly take you on as a freelancer.

I am pretty sure that's how it works. So if you want to write up the segment about the Miracle Shooter Conspiracy, all you really have to do is send in a proposal to Rob and convince him that you should be the guy to do so. You'll want to make a proposal that is about 1000 words and you'll ultimately be writing a chapter that's about 10,000 words - including the in-character portion and the game information sections.

There's a whole separate thing where if you get that accepted, they'll want you to limit the number of hints you give out, so you'll probably have to stop updating your descriptions of the miracle shooter conspiracy once you're brought on board as a freelancer. But until that point you can speculate all you want.

Maybe Ares is attempting to make a more perfect soldier spirit that retains Ares Loyalty and the ability to wield firearms while gaining the hive mind-link and spiritual immunity to weaons?

Maybe Ares is just trying to make ghost hackable disposable assassins?

If you get hired on as a freelancer, all those questions and more could be answered by you. Of course, you'd have to get your work cleared past the other authors working on different chapters of the same book - and I hear some of them are pretty hard to work with. ;)

For anyone that has read Blackjack's page, I'm sure that many could see a synergy between Thrillkill, and Miracle Shooter. That would be quite the twist.

Dude, they already do that with the "America's Army" game. They make the game as realistic as possible and take stats on how people behave. The best performers are tracked down. Of course, there's no insect spirit infestation or psychotrope in that game.

[James McMurray]

That we know about.

[b1ffov3rfl0w]

Wasn't that also the plot of The Last Starfighter? Not the specifics, of course.

[emo samurai]

Or the evil.
