Announcing an experiment in social interaction that takes the form of a MUSH role-playing site. The premise we are examining
is the behavior of animals if they had sentient rationality and language communication similar to that of humans. Players
choose a North American animal species, and are cast in the form of the chosen animal. They are physically limited to the
capabilities of their species, but have all the mental capacity and resourcefulness they can muster as a human player. Animal
characters interact in simulated natural environments, under basic constraints such as the need to eat and drink regularly,
find shelter, and avoid predators or escape them. Additional complications may be added as the simulation game develops.
Additional information will be made available soon.
A mailing list or forum will be offered as well.
