I''m not suggesting that this game should be created by me or anyone else, but I''d like to hear people''s opinions on the concept. Basically, you live in the X-Files univererse, and all sorts of "paranormal events" occur. The twist is that it is the player that spots these things happening and draws conclusions from it. There could be NPC''s to talk to and ask questions about these events (You spot a UFO flying in some deserted place. You could then go to the airport and ask the ATC NPC if he knows anything about it.) Of course, other players may possess relevant information too... I''m not quite sure what the aim of the game would be, but I was thinking something along the lines of this: You can choose to play either as a civilian or a member of the Secret Service (y''know, the guys in the X-Files who dress in black and go around covering up evidence of aliens and shooting potential threats). The aim of the civilians would be to "solve" events, and then publish the results in a newspaper. (They can only publish it if they have solved the mystery correctly). They then get points (advancing levels/experience?). The aim of the SS is to cover up evidence, and jail (good alternative to kill, I think) people who seem to be solving a mystery. (Points for jailing ppl - Negative points for jailing innocent ppl). There would be weapons lying around in the world (you could break into a police station, for instance, and steal some of their weapons...). I''m thinking more along the lines of "stun" weapons as opposed to "kill" weapons, as this would solve some problems with ppl getting pissed when their level 64 character gets wasted by some maniac with an AK47. Maybe being knocked out would take away some of their experience/levels? Anyway, this is just a really rough outline, but whaddya think? P.S. Please don''t pick me up on any flaws in the game mechanics (ie. how does the game tell whether ppl are innocent when they are jailed?), as this is simply a raw idea being thrown into the air --------------- #define TRUE 0 #define FALSE 1 //MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Heh, I really like the idea of piting the ss up against the civilians. They both have very different goals, but it would offer some very interesting gameplay. Keep working on it and fleshing it out!
