# Story
|
||
|
|
||
|
Late stage capitalism, everything is privatized. Cultural expression stagnates.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Beginning Classes:
|
||
|
* Wage Slaves: Most people are Wageslaves and do unnecessary bullshit for little money. Don't have much free time.
|
||
|
* Unemployed Punks: don't get enough subsidies to pay the rent, have to do small daily jobs or become a squatter to survive
|
||
|
* Corp Execs: plan the production of Wageslaves (keep as many as possible busy to get gov subsidies), develop corporate science (not sharable with other Execs)
|
||
|
* Police: Beat up demonstrations, catch ppl without tickets, enforce rules, use surveillance.
|
||
|
* Politicians: Make policy as you wish - you can help Commoners, but you can also take their rights away. Give public jobs to Execs, or Commoners.
|
||
|
* Commoners: Not a starting class, everyone starts as one of the other 4.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The people already exist, have attributes, property, identity, running costs, and a daily life - Players randomly take over their lives when they spawn.
|
||
|
Every person has a few friends, it varies and changes dynamically for NPCs. players only start as characters with at least one player friend.
|
||
|
Only players can start alternative projects, but NPCs can join them and passively take part.
|
||
|
Some are enemies, and if players spawn in them, they can choose to play villain or help the Commoners.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* You begin playing one day in corporate life
|
||
|
* One day later you hear of collectives, somebody signs you up for the fediverse
|
||
|
* You can start to partake in such a collective (will u lose your job one day?)
|
||
|
* You probably need to become criminal to get money to start first collectives - squatting, shoplifting, fare-dodging, bank robbery
|
||
|
|
||
|
# One day in the game
|
||
|
|
||
|
One day lasts half an hour or so ingame.
|
||
|
* 0600 stores open
|
||
|
* 0800 get up, lazy!
|
||
|
* 1000 wageslaves' work starts
|
||
|
* 1800 wageslaves' work ends

Every charakter should sleep around 4 hours a day, else they suffer. Players can read/chat in that time.

|
# Attributes
|
||
|
|
||
|
Do we need attributes or is gameplay solvable by skill and experience only? Which is more fun?
|
||
|
Maybe attributes promote specialization and inhibit trying out different work experiences.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Maybe attributes for fighting aren't a bad idea? You need to figure that out anyway, and it would give police a comprehensible advantage.
|
||
|
Weapons would soon alter this too much, though.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Other Activities of Commoners
|
||
|
|
||
|
Organize Parties or Demonstrations
|
||
|
* get a location
|
||
|
* buy or steal necessary items
|
||
|
* promote via flyers, emails, public posts
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Infrastructure
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can usually use existing infrastructure, until you build up own infrastructure - but it's expensive and helps the enemy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Transport: busses and self-driving trains
|
||
|
* Internet: rented flats have internet, you can build Freifunk
|
||
|
* Logistics: pushcarts, trucks and self-driving trains
|
||
|
