The game's already got it's structure - I'm quite amused how the majority of
you are trying to fit it into your idea of what a good idea for a game set
in some quasi-inca neverland would be, without actually really answering the
original question. (but thanks anyway - it was fun)

I've noticed that a number of folks certainly think completely differently
to me when it comes to what might be 'cool' - I guess we IF / RPG people
don't see a single idea (cartels, crime games, a set field of warfare) -
Instead I have a set of ideas that fit in an entire gameworld in which
hopefully the right amount of people might want to take a share.

ESCAPE's started - I made the mistake by thinking of somewhere southern
hemisphere, cityscape and ruined as being what was required rather than
starting the setting where it would work.
Now that people have submitted one or two turns I get the idea that what's
required is for me to tell a few stories and set things straight in my
initial players heads, rather than writing a big thick set of rules and
scenarioes in which people must conform their characters.

Unlike what I've done previously in The Isles and Day One, I think I'm going
to freeform the game until it works.

BTW Carol, that stuff you mentioned as a substitute for Coffee tastes like
Cat wee - Plase don't ask me how I know.
