Usenet and Computers

[Omerta]

To better reflect the state of tech, and keep up with the fact that our electronics store clearly shows we have quite the selection (I know the tech is more modern than it should be, I’m big on imagination like the rest of you!) we should be able to buy and set up laptops or desktop computers. We are right on the cusp of the World Wide Web; and nearing that advent, there should be a heavily trafficked and healthy user base of people on Usenet. 

 

Not sure how technically complicated but once placed, it becomes a terminal for Usenet which essentially just acts as a newsgroup for Southside. An in character precursor to forums that people can post on, message each other, and exchange information anonymously underground. Maybe give people the ability to make a front page or homepage for their own info board.
 

Nothing you post can be used to 100% tie to your identity or be used to incriminate you as people could make fake profiles of each other and at this point in time, law enforcement does not have a heavy tech department or the right to violate the privacy of citizens by investigating or confiscating their machines like post-9/11.

 

Metagaming and OOC in IC would of course not be allowed, it will be fully in character.

 

Let me know how retarded I am or if this is a decent idea, pimps.

i heavily agree with this, it would also add more rp in a variety of different ways like fast food delivery rp, business rp *sorta* and etc etc

WorldCorp comeback 2.0 This time branded as Twitter

Nah the provider(s) and net pages would be nothing modern- old school Usenet before World Wide Web. A sort of simpler version that blends how it works with how we interact with pages now into a system. Maybe with government run service provider(s).
