Intro

This is the true story of Dr. Gilbert Bates, the wealthiest man the
world had ever known and the world's only multi-trillionaire. By 2012,
Bates had developed a vast fortune off of the world's computer
systems. He did this by effectively eliminating all competition
through agressive monopolies, crushing anti-piracy laws and outrageous
patent enforcements.

Statistically, near 100% of the computers in the
world used his operating system. And not only computers, but
televisions, radios, and most media devices were required to contain a
streamlined version of his OS on a chip called Geddon.

With his tremendous wealth, came tremendous power. The power to
control nations and peoples; to make laws or break them without
consequence. At some point, Bates truely began to believe the only
one more powerfull than him was God himself. And from that moment on,
Bates started thinking he must do something about that too!

Skip forward to the year 2018. At the age of 52, Dr. Gilbert Bates has just surprised the world by announcing his plan to retire. But even more astounding news was Bates announcement that he plans to liquid his company, with all it's assets and give all of his wealth to the world's poor!

The world was in complete shock but were very ecstatic about the news. Many dreamed of how much they might get and what they might do with the money. Bates only had one simple request. That all people of the world, whereever they might be would gather around their televisions or radios or computers or whatever media outlet available, to hear a brief farewell message of love and hope he wished to share with everyone. Where no media outlet was available, Bates generously shipped potable battery powered satalite equipt tv units which he informed was the communities to keep.

..this is were the game begins..
..you wake up on your friends floor feeling pretty crappy, after you all got together for a big party to watch and celebrate the message from Bates
..you discover you had been passed out for three days...
..you discover something was encoded in the video and audio signals broadcast to cause everyone exposed to the message to fall into a coma like state..

Oh you program? Awsome! I try to get in a little....I spend most of my time debugging.

All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost

The old that is stong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring

Renewed shall be blade that was broken
And the crownless again shall be King

There's a type of embedded processor that is used in many types of devices called the Arm processor (also there's a StrongARM) -- is that why you called the chip "Geddon"? Just something I noticed.

Anyway, very cool! That sounds like something that could be done with Mite -- if you're interested in using the engine for that, I'd certainly be willing to help.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

'The events of this game are a work of fiction. The characters are ficticious and any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is almost entirely coincidental..oh, except for Bill Gates and the sinister trillionare villian'

lol..no, for real, I don't have anything against Bill Gates or Microsoft. And Brandon, I agree the name should be changed to something less similar to avoid 'confusion'. The truth is I won't be able to do anything with this concept anyway, because of limited time. But I just wanted to see what you thought of the premise because I value your opinions. I know ideas are a dime a dozen, but if someone wanted to use it or it inspires a similar concept, then that's great!

Thanks all for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it.
