Wotcha guv'nor,

Anyone considering implementing pseudo-random plotlines in their mud?
They would probably be classed as variable/random quests in the usenet.  I
was thinking that if I could get an engine to make things up, like a
company would want its new drug to be approved so they employ some
players to 'convince' a few people on the approval committee, etc.  I
remember seeing a web page stating the '23 basic scenarios' or something
similar but I can't find it right now.  Bit of a bugger.

Could do with some help shaping this 'engine'.

Ciao
