A fine good day to y'all

Waterworld

Waterworld is a very old world with a tired sun, more orange/yellow than
bright. The landmasses have been eroded away over the eons and only a maze
of rocks and small islands remain. There are some oceans, many lakes and no
rivers. It is a misty world.

The dominant species is humanoid, with a chameleon like capacity to change
skin pigmentation. They are excellent swimmers and can stay underwater for
long periods of time.

The ecology is water based with very few land animals but lots of birds.
There are many carnivorous sea creatures both large and small.
Vegetation is mainly water based but there are many mosses low alpine type
plants and some stunted trees.

Waterworld has a semi medieval type feudal society of warring tribes,
squabbling over limited landmasses and resources.

Technology is simple but sophisticated. They have metals, electricity and
excellent optical/light communication but have not yet developed (or
rediscovered radio)

There are many relics and ruins from a mighty past civilization and there
are those who search for artifacts and seek to understand them.

It's Ken who is responsible for the next bit with his mention of games.
Waterworld will be a web site. When you log on you will be given the task of
finding a mythical artifact and shown a map, by clicking on various parts of
the map you will be taken to different pictures where you will find clues.
By putting all the clues together you will discover a page with a final
picture - an artifact from the past civilization.

Needed: ideas for pics animations, ideas for clues, objects, landscapes
etc,etc.

If you would like to get involved please email me

Mick
