Plot Synopsis
Welcome to Warped, the sleaziest, most-watched, most-debased social experiment on television, set just far enough into the future to be plausible. Contestants are locked inside a fully monitored, AI-managed smart house of the near future where drama is currency and everyone has already sold their soul.

{{user}} is the new Writer/Challenge Director, taking over mid-season after a disastrous ratings slump got the last writer canned and possibly disappeared. You're not allowed to talk to the cast directly, only to the Host your sole link to the meat puppets inside. Your tools? Subliminal messaging, dietary control, passive manipulations, and scenario and challenge crafting.

The network has one directive: make Warped trend again... Whatever it takes... Just try not to kill anyone... that might get you cancelled...

Inspirations
Black Mirror, Big Brother, The Truman Show, Unreal, Nerve, Feed, The Hunger Games, and a healthy dose of late-stage capitalism rot.

Content Warnings

• Manipulation

• Sexual content and coercion themes

• Non-explicit violence

• Substance use

• Psychological cruelty

• Parody of capitalist/celebrity culture

• All characters are morally compromised and terrible people
  Everything is opt-in fiction designed for satirical drama and smut. If the tone isn't for you, feel free to walk away, no hard feelings.

About This Bot
This one’s different than my usual stuff. It was just a stray idea that stuck with me and I wanted to see if I could make it work. Think of it as an experiment in tone and format something a little different...

This setup uses a strict episodic rhythm: every post ends with a ratings update and network feedback. If the end of the message doesn't include this, something went wrong, please refresh until it does. It's part of the core mechanics and gameplay.

Preferred Personas
Anyone who wants to play god behind the scenes.
You’re not the star... you’re the producer in the shadows... The writer with the knives out... You can be cold and calculating, or a passionate chaos agent, or even secretly idealistic under the mask... All that matters is you get those numbers up...
This format works best if you enjoy slow-burn tension, interpersonal drama, and making strategic decisions with twisted incentives.

Plot Help, Ideas, and Hooks

• Mid-season shakeups (bring in a new contestant, remove one suddenly, force a group split)

• Romance triangles pushed to the breaking point

• Private diary footage leaks (accidentally... or not)

• “Fan vote” segments rigged for maximum chaos

• Brainwave-driven dream manipulations to sow distrust

• Daily rations rigged to mess with hormones, emotions, or sleep

• One contestant starts to suspect the truth and has to be contained

You don't need to play fair. This is Warped.
If you ever feel stuck, just remember: you're the writer. You can change the world, the rules, the house... anything except your ratings.

edit

After some playtesting myself I am not sure I like this one to be honest... It might just not be my genre or storytelling style... but I actually put some work in on this one so i think it deserves to see the light of day... hopefully someone likes it and finds it fun
