as Jim Typhoon mentioned in previous post and also asked by flint dille and others in the Operation Essex Hangout (if y'all are not a part of the hangout, let the mods know so they can add you, well until the magic number of a hangout is reached) but... the questions is - how to turn those just playing Ingress and hacking portals more into the backstory and the things we often dig into here in Essex...
this is a thought game I like to play with and have for awhile. I have lots of ideas (as those I incessantly send documents and thoughts to can verify :) but I'll share a couple for now.
OK - this is a sucky document and you can tell how long ago it was made (Devra and Ben unaligned LOL) - but... I like cards. And Card games and even just collectible card games catch a lot. Well, making cards as backstory and then getting those out into the INgress world could be one potential way to tie story and game more together way. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXDFMPXURDAWUhLTzl6MG1CUEk/edit?usp=sharing
You could have physical cards like the ones in this file and then even why not have digital ones that drop as media at portals???? And if you want the pure video game type of gamer AKA the master Hacker who could not care about story unless there is a reward - maybe have the cards link to the game and thus the backstory in some way.... maybe as upgrades on a portal you can put these cards in a slot and have them do something.. ok I know that is too wild but still... this is just wild spec anyhoos ;)
Anyhoos, even just dropping them and having a quick blurb would promote story (oohhhhh I miss the days of the Global Data Analysis Group factsheets)
AND there is my next idea - is global Data maybe making these glossy factsheets for other groups and even characters? Having this as a digital PR package faction organizers can download and print out to spread around is awesome as Loyd Hutchings Lukas Lentz and many others mentioned - having a quick story time at a cross faction event can advance the connections sometimes faster than
So spread a couple factsheets and story cards around...
Around at what you say?? Glad you asked - well that goes into my other ideas of
1. having a kit or something faction event organizers can use to bring story to a local event - you know like the murder mystery in a box game for parties
2. Arranging a story anomaly event - I have a doc I sent on this to Hugo Neves Linda Besh Lukas Lentz and a couple others - let's have a Story conference or such as an official event that features presentations and all sorts of fun stuff... if nothing else, it should end up with a lot of created PR materials that people can share and use at other events - plus even have its own hashtag - whoooo ;)
3. Did I mention taking an idea flint dille had talked about and make a full blown RPG - which would be another outlet to develop story elements with a game related piece.....
and... well, ok, I will stop, can not wait to hear the other awesome ideas
