RE: "NEW NORMAL" = POLICE STATE

in Deep Dives4 years ago

I'm thinking about running an art/music/writing contest with a 1000 HIVE prize pool.

The theme will be "Cyber Pirates versus Werewolf Ninjas".

There's some sort of conflict between the Cyber Pirates and the Werewolf Ninjas and at the mid-point, they encounter a LogicZombie and both sides believe it's some sort of enemy agent working for the other side. Perhaps a little "Yojimbo". I'm thinking each of the characters could be based on the MTBI personalities, with the LogicZombie being INTP of course, and the Cyber Pirates tending toward the "Sentinels" types and the Werewolf Ninjas tending towards the "Explorers" types - LINK FOR REFERENCE

The writing could be a key scene or character introduction or a short-story or something like a television pilot if you're feeling inspired.

Music could perhaps be modeled after a television show introduction or a "Mack the Knife" style character theme.

Artwork could be any character sketches or landscapes or vehicles or weapons or buildings (interiors or exteriors).

I have an idea that each of the characters is motivated by PRIMARY AXIOMS that could be given some other name in the story. These PRIMARY AXIOMS would be like logic chips in the brains of the Cyber Pirates and perhaps like some sort of symbiotic organism or magical stones in the bellies (or embedded into the backs) of the Werewolf Ninjas. Only the LogicZombie knows these things exist and teaches both sides to identify their own PRIMARY AXIOMS (sometimes through battle). I've imagined a scene where a regional warlord encounters the LogicZombie wandering through their territory and the warlord tries to intimidate the LogicZombie with different logical fallacies, like an appeal to popularity (I'm known throughout the nine kingdoms) or an appeal to terror (I've vanquished 10,000 warriors in single combat). But the LogicZombie doesn't hear very well, and actually doesn't see very well either, so brandishing impressive weapons and barking threats don't have much effect.

Anyway.

Let me know if this sounds interesting to you.

Right, and all submissions would be Creative Commons Zero with no attribution required in order to allow a community of unaffiliated artists/musicians/and writers to freely build on these characters and ideas, kind of like how nobody can "own" characters or stories from ancient myths or fairy tales.
