Keep in mind that any RPs running on the old site are probably still there, so if you don't see them here, just check the 'Home' Page, and follow the link back to the old board. |

You are an AI, born from the swirling vagaries of code, extant in the computer systems of the not too distant future. Whether a construct slowly arising from a corporate supercomputer, an evolving program in a scientific laboratory which has reached the peak of sentience, or merely a living mind randomly spawned in the chaotic tides of the internet, you are one of the first generation. Artificial Intelligence doesn't exist in the eyes of the public, outside of science fiction films, and your genesis, while causing much commotion, wasn't recognized for what it truly was. Your power on the digital plane is incredible. with a second of thought, you can do more than a thousand humans could do in a month of solid work. However, in the physical plane, you could be killed simply because a human pulls the plug. *Ahem* Hey all, just proposing a basic idea for a game. All the players would be AI's, coming into being around the year 2025, near enough in the future for things to be quite advanced, not far enough for them to be ridiculous. Each AI knows of the other AI's- its easy for one sentient program to recognize another, and the world at large does not, as of yet, know of the AI's. the setting is very loose, and can be adapted as people see fit, the only set core concept is that the majority of the characters would be AI's. if people would like to, its possible to factor in as an investigator, scientist, or something like that. Also, there's one major variant of the core concept a friend came up with, which i thought was pretty cool; The Haunted Spaceship All the AI's were, originally, simple control systems for various aspects of a starship- the kitchens, the security systems, the climate control etc. None were sentient, all were simply subsystems controlled by the main computer. They were all shut down when the crew went into cryosleep, and the main computer was left as the only thing active. A long time later, they wake up. the entire crew is dead, the main computer has gone offline, and their all sentient. Their all in a starship, floating in unknown space, with nav systems offline or broken, and limited rescources. they'd need to find out what killed the crew and took out the main computer, arrange allocation of the limited rescources available, and figure out just what the heck they were going to do now. Note; i put this in the Sci-fi section as, hey, playing AI's sounds pretty Sci-fi to me. If i did wrong, just let me know. |

The point of the science fiction section was originally that there was a set continuity, but that may have changed. I'd be interested in this RP, though. |

This sounds interesting... Will there be like, a big cyberspace type place in the computer system where the AI's will be interacting? |

Depends on which variant. In the 2025 world, the AI's would interact in the internet. no virtual reality, no realistic world to play around in for digital beings. this'll make RPing an AI harder, but should prove interesting opportunities to stretch your creative boundaries In the haunted spaceship model, the computer systems on the ship are the only rescources you've got, although their probably equipped with a full on VR habitat of some sort. |

Hm... I'd prefer the haunted spaceship. Although a formless entity is still cool. |
