Death Magnate Live- The worlds most popular MMO.

[DeputyMoniker]

Mianrtcv's thread on Foldit got me to thinking...what else can we do with the power of gamers? Fight a war!

You control a live drone in the mountains of Afghanistan. Gathering intelligence with your unit, requesting strike approval, coordinating with your boys on the ground (other players/drones), etc. We would wipe the Taliban out in a month and scare the rest so bad they'd be afraid to blink.

One character type controls a drone that flies around looking for evidence of activity in what appears to be unoccupied mountainous territory. Between myself and a few dozen other players attached to our shared drone, we nitpick the days footage of its 1,800 mile plot. Comparing with historical footage, etc.

Ideas?

How do you guarantee the opposition doesn't use the accessibility to it's advantage? Then what's with the secrecy of operation? We should stick with folding molecules.

It's not for everyone but i found this to be fun, but i'm not certain if it actually makes a difference or if the information just disappears in the nether. It's not quite like a game but meh, i find it fun.
