While I'm generally not interested in dinking around with textual
games, what is presented in that post is pretty neat, and could
concievably keep up with a traditional backstory. The dovetailing of
the two would product a fairly remarkable game. In the extreme, I
consider the idea of picking up a book, reading until I get to an
interesting point, then start playing the story :)
I'd have my doubts about such a game in multiplayer, however. In the
time it takes me to read a wonderful description of what's going on, I
could get dead.
