Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

I was thinking of starting with this.

"You find yourself in Kelowna, British Columbia for CONceptual Evolution, first ever convention for Speculative evolutionists. As you meet the other members of the site people around you all start answering phone calls, and looking worried."

And letting it develop from there.

Okay, so long as certain unspoken and obvious condiitons are met.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Well you each make a country E.g The Most serene republic of the Aegeic and you state what form of government there is (there will be positives and negative for each type) and you say what natural resources it has. Its main religion. And your 3 super weapons e.g super soldiers or nukes whatever (dont be too unrealistic)

Then i will give you your budgets to start off with (to be fair you will all start with 100,000 credits) you spend this on research,military,public reform etc.
And each turn you state what you wish to do e.g im going to invade Albania (i will use the stats from global firepower to determine results) or maybe you would like to start construction. At the end of 3 turns i will type out a world report detailing what has happened and current events.
Im going to act almost as a dungeon master so i will not being playing as such

Any suggestions from you guys???

Perhaps we could earn super weapons, discover them or something? If we get them at the start, then someone will use their COBALT THERMOFERROUS ICBM MULTI-STAGE PHASIC BATTERY which, although being realistic, would be just unfair.

I dunno in RP's I've been around people just tend to keep one upping each other until their characters are throwing galaxies at each other.

I think it would need a Game Master to keep things in good order, otherwise it sounds pretty good.

Why Can't I Hold All These Mongols?

Something i just realised, a lot of points people make is that zombies would rot and would be nothing but a pile of bones eventually.

no one has seemed to realise that, if these bodies are walking around eating people, they may defy our medical knowledge of what happens to corpses. just putting the idea out there.
also, if these zombies are dumb-asses who shuffle around, can't run, can't climb. And they're basicly slow humans, then a) wouldn't the sewers be almost devoid of them? seriously how the F*ck would they get down there if they cant climb? Fall in? I don't know about anywhere else, but in sydney if you fall down into the sewers you break your spine and a lot of other important bones when you get there. and b) wouldn't they be walking canned food for predators? they can't f*cking run, they can't use tools, their only weapon is the weak human jaw. Hell, they can't even fucking get into the sewers without breaking their neck. They'd be the bitches of every apex predator, the real problem would be dealing with all the dangerous animals left after the zombie plague which will think your food and aren't scared of humans anymore. If i was in the northern parts of the USA or Europe, i wouldn't be worrying about the zombies as much as i would be worrying about the f*cking bears that will eat them and then come after ME.
well thats my take on events
what do you think?
