Sadly, this game will not involve anyone being eaten by dinosaurs. Largely, this is a game about stopping people from getting eaten by dinosaurs.
As we all know, or at least those of us who have read/watched
Jurassic Park, the titular park failed largely because they failed to have solutions of any kind to some major problems. Naturally, fans have been thinking of ways to run the park "better" than Hammond. This is a game of finding such ways.
At the beginning, we have what passes for a park, with a few basic problems having solutions. There are, however, still some unsolved problems. It's your job to solve them!
Each poster posts a realistic, "practical" solution to a problem present, and another problem that comes up, either due to the solution or due to something else. They also copy-paste the list of problems and solutions from the previous post, for convenience.
A few rules.
1. Yes, scrapping the project and instead working on some other application of biotechnology would solve pretty much every problem they had. But what fun is that solution? Try to stick relatively within Hammond's design goals.
2. Stick to semi-plausible solutions. You don't have to stick to the tech Crichton could have written into the novel, but including automated laser turrets or AI systems is a big no-no. Magic is even more so.
3. Have fun, or else
