Rumor Has it ...

Life teaches us a lot of things, that includes game ideas, too. I don't like rumors ,but I have to admit that rumor has huge power over us. They influence our decisions, our relationship over others. Sometimes, we are the ones who spread the rumors.

The rumor system I can think of is in Final Fantasy Tatics A2, Ogre Battle and other RPGs. The rumors give informations to player about what is going on or at least what the rumor says what is going on in the game. I also saw in situations that the rumors were wrong and was a trap. It adds some high lights to the game, because it reminds player to be more skeptical about the rumors. I also think it will be cool if player is activily making rumors to turn the situation to their advantage. I would image it will happen more in MMORPG games, becuase those games are mostly about the interaction between players.

I also think of Shakespeare's play, Macbeth and how the witches fool around Macbeth and lead him to his fate. It's not uncommon for player to be the evil guy and stop the worriors nowadays. Why not have a game about how a witch uses her rumor power to fool around a area and level up to fool around a bigger area. Isn't it going to be interesting?
