haha, okay... I honestly would rather do something where they learn how to use weapons that will be used in the real world...

---------- Post added 03-19-2014 at 10:43 AM ----------

for instance... being able to create a personal barrier that shields you from so much bullets/firepower for so long... or something....

Dang people ya'll wright quite fast while I was away

When you say bioweapons attached to the nervous system, do you mean like a less-spider-man-y Dr. Octo-like invention?

They have to train to use weapons that are built into the program, I imagine the weapons within the program work very differently and on a different set of physics than 'Real Life' weaponry.

I can see them looking for the viruses or the infected. I can also see them being able to identfy who is infected, and send that information back out into a computer for the...Police Force? To use. They'd then go and find those people and arrest them.

I also see it kind of like the matrix that, if the three need to get out of the program, the Police Force can send a call to like a phone or a meeting point and it can pull them from the 'game'.

I also think that if they 'die' in the program (get shot, beheaded, etc) it ejects them from the game/wakes them up, and they need to be re-downloaded. I imagine though if they're hurt (like if someone gets cut), they feel it. It really hurts them, within the game. But once they pull out of the game, obviously they aren't hurt.

*struggling to keep up*
This is close to what I was thinking. I'm not sure what kind of world I was imagining inside though. I was thinking less...real like. Something without any signs of civilization. Just Cyber...Space. Lots of space. I was definitely thinking weapons though. Like inside the program, they have a different look and clothing style. cyber weapons that can't exist in the real world because they defy the laws of physics.

maidenroseheart 03-19-2014 01:46 AM

haha, erm... I was thinking... sort of like arm pieces you can wear... or eye pieces you can wear... that if you have the training, you can do something with and if not, then nothing... or disastrous results

but if you guys rather not, we can do something else that you are more into

Inside the program, it would be cool if they could have a different look and clothing style...

If we did this where the bad guys are inside the program itself, then how would they have gotten there? What would the purpose of the program originally have been?

Mobius 03-19-2014 01:50 AM

@Maiden: Ooooh. So you were thinking like the Omni-devices from Mass Effect!

@Kat: Do you mean something like this?
http://blog.bigmoviezone.com/images/..._555pxBLOG.jpg


As for the bad guys, I was thinking that they're actual people in the Real World. But they download into the program itself to wreak havoc, and they appear different/have aliases within the game. That's who our team is being sent after to find, the people within the game. If they can find them within the game, they could like...track them to their download site or something.

Edit:
I agree with the different clothing style/weapon style thing.

maidenroseheart 03-19-2014 01:52 AM

YES!! The omni devices is exactly what I had in mind!! I'm a huge mass effect fan... though I only played the 3rd one and half of the 1st one...

Kat Dakuu 03-19-2014 01:52 AM

I do rather like that picture.

Mobius' idea works or It could be a virus that wasn't purposely put into the program. It developed naturally and maybe the program was meant for something else. Now they're the team that has to fix it up to it can be used for its original purpose.

sailor star rainbow 03-19-2014 01:54 AM

Dang!

maidenroseheart 03-19-2014 01:55 AM

I have a hard time imagining a virus or how to fight a virus... would need some pointers about how to go about that... what it could look like and how to fight it... what are it's capabilities and weaknesses...

Mobius 03-19-2014 01:58 AM

In the Tron work, the virus manifested itself as actually beings. But they only existed within the game, and could muck about with the program itself to cause glitches and stuff. Like causing people to not be able to get out of the game.

Maybe this virus like...attacks people at random. It attacks their program-self, and messes with it's coding. So when they are logging out of the game, they're addicted. Like they feel like real life is the game, and the game is their actual, real life. And it's causing serious issues.

Maybe the original purpose of the program was to embue world peace, allowing people to meet and converse on a risk-free arena where everyone was equal? They could dress and look and be exactly who they wanted to be, free of judgement, and that's why it spread to the general public so quickly?

I did not notice how is everyone? Ranie I left you a post in are rp I think

Mobius 03-19-2014 02:00 AM

Here's some examples of like...Tron clothes.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6...c440970b-600wi
http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thin...l&tid=74809456

Just some ideas. But I think it could be like creating an avatar. You wear and look however you want to look/wear when you get downloaded. It would be like if instead of getting on a forum for Mene, you just climbed into your computer and became the avatar you've got.

I feel that way too.

yeah, I see the viruses as being actual people. They could look obviously different or be very similar to the downloaded people.

world peace? that might work. Or maybe the program was created to be a military training area considering the miliary has already been mentioned in story.

---------- Post added 03-18-2014 at 09:03 PM ----------

I like Tron clothes. I think that downloaded look may be a true reflection of who they are. Like it gathers information of the 'person' to create the virtual image. but cooler and futuristic like Tron.

Immy 03-19-2014 02:09 AM

Ranie is falling asleep at keyboard...weeee....

Mobius 03-19-2014 02:10 AM

I was just saying world piece because I feel like if it spread to the general population, it would be more widely accepted. Though if it was a military-based program and was infiltrated and infected with viruses, the team could be an elite team built by home-land security, which is why there's so few of them (to keep intel low).

I ALSO really love that idea of the 'Downloads' being a true reflection of the person. That's an awesome idea.

I see them being like, bamfs in the game, and while they're downloaded they're under intense watch by the Establishment. But once they're out of the program they live 'normal' lives. I feel like they'd only be Downloaded for like, eight-hour shifts, like a work day. And have weekends off unless they Establishment really needed them for something.

maidenroseheart 03-19-2014 02:12 AM

Shifts would be a good idea... and it would become more apparent over time if they were reluctant to leave.

If it was a military based program, then having them be an elite team would make more sense.

We should figure out the purpose of the program. Will make it easier to figure out how to go from there I think.

---------- Post added 03-19-2014 at 11:13 AM ----------

and yes... falling asleep at the keyboard...

Kat Dakuu 03-19-2014 02:13 AM

Is Ranie tired? I'm trying to respond to our rp right now before I drown.

yes, I can see them having very normal lives outside of the game. Kind of like a normal job...except totally nothing normal about it.

Mobius 03-19-2014 02:16 AM

If it's military...maybe it was originally used for discrete international interactions?

Oh nooo. So many people falling asleep!

Immy 03-19-2014 02:16 AM

*jumps up* ROLEPLAY!!! COFFEE!!! YAOI!!! Whoops sorry lol that was random hehehe uh was going to say something-oh yea.

So how many females online right now have been moody today even a little bit?

sailor star rainbow 03-19-2014 02:16 AM

Aw poor Ranie and Kat if you have time. will you take a look at are rp?

Immy 03-19-2014 02:18 AM

*falls asleep again on flowery swing going back and forth*

Kat Dakuu 03-19-2014 02:19 AM

Ranie: moody? not me. You're hyper again...and sleepy?

Mobius: international interactions? Such as...?

Mobius 03-19-2014 02:20 AM

I love all three of those random outbursts, Ranie!

I have, actually, not been moody today. That's been the last few days for me. v.v

Edit:

Kat: I don't know. Like maybe it was negotiations or something, like diplomats. Or maybe it was an alternative to war--they sent warriors into the games to duke it out and whomever won, won? But it got infected and it's screwing with the diplomacy between nations, hence the special team?
