Let's make a PETA simulator.

The objective is to make as much money as possible while simultaneously liberating all oppressed and traumatised animals enslaved by humanity - at whatever cost.

So, for funding, it's mostly donations, but you can also invest in things like profitable weapons exports and manufacture, fossil fuels or other things that damage human society (as punishment for their cruel treatment of animals).

Humans must never interact with animals. Doing so taints the animal beyond recognition. Therefore when your teams rescue an animal, there is little to no chance of it rehabilitating itself into nature. We've seen it time and time again, it just doesn't work.

So: In order to keep the business running, you have to meet monthly euthanasia targets. To do this you can do any kinds of activism - basic choices could be:

• stray death squads to clean the streets of strays
• pet fostering and rehousing (all pets reclaimed from slavery will be euthanised in the van on the way back to the office - a small percentage may be rehoused just to keep up the pretence of an actual service - really you are doing the animals a service by ending their tragic lives)
• pest extermination (rats etc are noble creatures whose existence has forever been destroyed by human contact)
• zoo terrorism (captives in these prisons can be freed to run riot in the city or destroyed - they are too traumatised to return to nature. it is better to be extinct than a human prisoner)
• honeyfarm terrorism (free the captive bees from their drudgery)
• meat factory sabotage (destroy and burn down abattoirs and canneries and the like)

All the while you have to fend off spies trying to find out how many animals you kill every day, leaks to the press, body disposal costs and court cases. Put up advertising smokescreens like lame shock flash games with no discernible value. Advertise using braindead vegetarian supermodels to mask your other efforts to free the animal race from slavery and torture! Tell the people you care about animals while simultaneously murdering thousands of them every year!

You seem a bit upset at PETA.

[Renton]

I approve of this project.

[isaac]

:D I too approve of this. Fight stupid reactionist propoganda with stupid reactionist propoganda.

If you need a flash coder, I don't have anything that I'm currently working on, so I have time.

It might be more interseting if you were in competition with rival animal rights groups, and would occasionally have to fudge things by killing Really Free animals, maybe just to frame them or whatever.

You could sell dead pet rabbits to the guys who campaign against animal testing outside railway stations so they can make more of their nice posters.

This sounds like a game idea we whipped up where you had to spread ebola through the third world by running McDonalds.

doesn't sound anything like it to me.

anyway: what sort of interface/gui would suit a game like this, do we think?

[KennEH!]

DO WANT.

Quite obviously a rts interface to protect and manage the animals and their natural purity in the most businesslike, clean, and organized way. 

Perhaps your employees would have their own AI like in Majesty, so you have to pay off or fire reluctant/unruly minions people?

Oh my... this sounds fun.

[moi]

Is it still in to make fun of PETA?
If not , then meh.

[Movius]

Sounds like something that could be done as a hacksaw-ing of the Liberal Crime Squad code.

what sent me over the edge with PETA was the cooking mama game.

I don't normally rage, but that last level really made me *ahem* RAAAAAAAAGE.


I'd rather eat the mutilated bird than that tofu crap.

[Alex May]

Why is that then? Just don't like tofu?

What should upset you is the fact they kill thousands of animals every year for no reason, not some pointless flash game.

Well, the RAAAAGE part mostly comes from the bullshit "omg shes vegan now" thing.


PETA is responsible for about 33 percent of my RAAAAGE, I assume.

I hear ya there! 

@haowan: 

[Inane]

I'm with Haowan here. You guys are upset at a fucking flash game, when they euthanize more than 90% of the animals they "liberate"?
