Site influence?

Note: It would be better to read the previous blog first.

A possible inspiration for my site/concept is Forumwarz. Forumwarz is a browser based game where you take on the role of an Internet Troll and your aim is to be as obnoxious as possible.

I've only played this briefly for about 5-10mins but here's what I can recall.

The first task required you to troll an internet forum. Now, this internet forum was a fake, designed to simulate a real internet forum. Whenever you posted a troll message, fake participants would respond etc.
Various aspects of the internet within the game are simulated. There was even a fake "google" page, designed to look like the real thing, but it was in the game.

So how did this influence my concept?
Well, like Forumwarz, my site is an abstract representation of the internet. People (who aren't real) are represented as avatars and you can interact with them. It simulates the workings of the internet.

Also, the subject matter is Internet Trolls. However, unlike my concept, Forumwarz forces you to be the troll, rather than the other way around. But if I manage to get enough time I might also make it so that you can also browse the site from the perspective of a troll.


An idea:

Forumwarz is a game. You have a goal. But currently with my website, there isn't really a point browsing it.
So I was thinking of maybe incorporating an optional goal to engage the user a bit more.

There would be a "happiness bar" displayed near your avatar. Though optional, your 'goal' would be to fill up this meter.
As you visit various parts of the site and/or interact with other avatars, this meter will fill up. However, everytime you get attacked by a troll (or if you interact with a troll in disguise), a massive chunk would be taken out of your happiness.

Or if the user decides to browse the website from the perspective of a troll, he/she would then have to troll other avatars in order to gain happiness, and would have to constantly switch personas' to avoid be found.

It would interacting with avatars more meaningful.

Just a thought...
