_About Our Questions_
We are looking for content on our site (MyAdventureGame.com) and        
figured, who better than the talented writers and researches at GA to        
help us with this task! MyAdventureGame.com is the source for playing,        
creating, and sharing "choose-your-own-adventure"-style games.  For        
more information on the web-site, please read the Frequently Asked        
Questions.        
         
Answering this question should be fun and challenging.  Before you        
begin, please make sure that you are up for the task ... this question        
certainly is not for everyone.  If making a game on our website sounds        
is something you WOULDN'T do in your spare time, then this question        
may NOT be for you.        
          
_The Question_
Go to our website (http://MyAdventureGame.com), create an account (or        
use your existing account), and make a game which that is both        
interesting and informative.  The main idea is that the game should alert 
or open the eyes of the reader to unknown/withheld information, or 
information not expressed through popular media.
          
The game needs to be based on a modern conspiracy (after 1930, ten
dollar additional tip if its after 1980).  This game also must have at 
least 35 pages with at least 15 different pictures spread throughout the 
game.  These pictures should have some relevance to the page they are 
on and can be photographs, illustrations, or animated GIFs -- whatever 
you deem appropriate.  Remember, the system allows only one picture 
per page. Also, more pictures add to the game, and good games get 
great tips!        
          
Most good games have most pages with 100-150 words, but that’s just a        
rule of thumb.  Pages too short don't get the player in the story,        
pages too long remove interactivity.  This game must feel interactive.        
          
The story must be based on actual or alleged history (as opposed to 
history that the author of the game makes up).   The conspiracy 
presented in your game needs to be supported by good evidence 
and research(either yours or someone else's).  The game must
not be down right fictional - however fictional elements or scenarios may
be used if they help to express or expose the outcome of the actual
conspiracy.  

Unfortunately we have no example games to show you.  This is more
something that we would really enjoy reading/playing.  However, we
do have a general idea of what we'd like to see.  We certainly do not
want to see a conspiracy about the 2000 elections (that just dealt with
counting of the ballots).  However, we certainly would be interested in
seeing information on Enron, GOP, DNC, oil companies, war in the
gulf, corporate crime, fundraising, media manipulation, etc. The lesser 
known the  conspiracy, the better.  

Please inform the reader as much as possible with facts by using real
names and dates.  Also, we feel that it would be important to leave out
your own bias from the game, such as calling politicians stupid or evil
and so forth.  "Just the facts," presented in an interesting, informative, 
and interactive way is exactly what we’d love to see.

_Standard Disclaimer_        
Unfortunately, there very limited, if any, instructions available.  We        
have, however, tried to make the game editor as easy to use as        
possible.  Assuming you have an up-to-date internet browser (IE4+,        
NS4+), there will be Pop-Up help on many of the buttons on the        
website.  If you have any specific questions about it, we would be        
more than happy to answer them for you.        
         
**** IMPORTANT GAME TIP ****         
Also note, it is important to have a good idea of the Start and End of        
your game before creating it on the website.  Planning before hand        
will not only save time but will create a much better end product.         
You will thank yourself later if you do this.        
          
_Fore More Information_
We apologize for the novella of a question here, but we wanted to make        
things clear.  Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification or to        
emai.  We can be reached by emailing info(at)MyAdventureGame.com.         
We really look forward to experiencing your game!!!       
          
Don't forget, the game will be eligible for the $100 contest (see the        
website) and we tip (fairly well) for a job well done.        
          
Again thanks in advance.
