Ok, in my defense I did it because I felt it was the closest to writing it with your finger in the dirt.

An MMO top-down shootery sort of game, set along the perimeter of the Mandelbrot fractal or some similar fractal shape. You can (slowly, to manage server load) increase or decrease your size at will when not engaged in combat, and can only interact with nearby players between half and double your current scale. There's no minimum, but the maximum is far too small to actually see the shape of the fractal. A significant portion of the strategy is based on building structures of varying permanence against the walls, everything from mines for use in combat to permanent player-run settlements.

I would like to see a zzt/knytt stories type thing for rpgs. You would be able to fiddle around with a lot of number crunchy bits like experience levels and enemy stats and so on, but stuff like the battle and menu system would remain constant. I dunno, maybe make it a roguelike to make it simpler?

Wow, they haven't made a new one since XP?

Er, I was expressing honest surprise.  Except it turns out that they did make one after XP after all, whoops.

It also seems to be following the trend of backpedaling furiously from any improvements made between the original and 2003.

Okay, so, I was reading a smut story earlier and the author had left his e-mail in case anyone wanted to provide feedback. He's one of my favourite authors, so I jumped at the chance and sent him an e-mail right away. I got a response saying the e-mail was dead.

So here's my stray thought: A website where you can pop in the e-mail address of any person in the world and it searches all other e-mail addresses for similar contact lists, similar addresses being e-mailed, whatever, and it gives you a list of e-mails or msns or aims or yahoos or whatever, and likelihoods that they are the person you're looking for.

Now, I'm aware this is the sort of thing creepy stalkers would adore and cherish, but I think there'd be a way to structure it so people's privacy aren't being violated. For example, if you tapped in an aim account listed on a profile on a forum like this very one, it might turn up the same forum name with a different aim account on another forum. You could rig something up with Google pretty easily, right?

Here's a dumb idea: Work Warrior.

It's an online RPG, only instead of killing mice and dragons to gain experience and levels, you work hard at your job so that your boss will give you experience on a day-to-day basis.

Make it a browser (better yet, facebook) based game so that you can hate your job AND the bullshit you're doing when you should be working!

Basically the idea would be to incentivize day-to-day productivity in the work place without actually paying out more money. You know, "Ooh! If I impress my boss today, I might get just enough experience to be able to kill the Orc Captain!"

It could also be extrapolated to school work. "Yay! I got an A on that assignment! Now I can wear that Level 8 Paladin Armor!"

That about ends the amount of thought I've put into it.

I had this idea like two years ago. In fact I think someone already did this, and then Penny Arcade did a comic where Gabe grinds on housework and laundry for XP.

For some reason I've decided to come up with the longest possible single-syllable word. So far I've got sphroughenned (pronounced sfrooned), which comes in at thirteen letters. I'm determined to get a twenty-lettered word, though.

EDIT: Well, I took a page from the ancient Greeks, though I'm not sure if this should count: chthrourghenned. Still, got it up to fifteen.

"Schpr" for a first consonant sound is one more letter than "Sphr," though it does change the pronunciation. You might also try bringing in some French dipthongs, like "oeu."

Mm, thanks for the insight. By the way the definition for this word will be "To have been made superfluously long".

Osschtphreauhrrnnged.  Pronounced oSshtfrOOuhrrngd.  The o is unvoiced, like in opossum, and it basically sounds like a drunk Swedish person saying "Shit Froo Earned".
