Hypnoworld

“Hey! You there! Yeah, you!"

You tum to see a rather frazzled yet well dressed woman walk out of the old warehouse you were passing by, smoke billows out of the building behind her. You turn and raise an eyebrow at the strange woman as she rambles on.

“Sorry, I was just working on the finishing touches of my world rewriter device when the darn thing blew up and blasted me! So, basically the part that blew up was the servant trainer and set it so the next person I saw would be bound to me as my master. Anyways, long story short is that I was about to use my invention to give me complete control of the entire worlds population, but now I can't do anything unless you tell me to, so why don't you come inside and tell me to take over the world for you?”

The woman leads you inside and your eyes adjust to the dim light as you take in the machine. Various clunky devices straight from a sci-fi novel take up the entire warehouse, connected by hoses and wires.

“Make yourself comfortable, I'll just be a minute or two to replace the faulty wiring.”

True to her word, the woman returns to you after messing around with the damaged panel and securing the hatch tightly with duct tape. She leads you to a set of black couches in the corner and sits down.

“So, now that you're my master, you get to decide how the new world works after my machine is done. The original game plan was to beam the knowledge of mind control directly into some of the population and have them enforce my rule while I sit back and enjoy my world. However, when I tried to boot up the machine on full power, it blew up! So, in hindsight, you'll probably have to run it on a fraction of the power I tried using if you don't want this warehouse to detonate. I would say you probably have about 25 power to mess around with.”

Player Type

“So, first things first, do you want to be the one in control, or just another plaything on the street?”

• Master

  Cost: 10

  All the other mind controllers are under your power, you rule the world.

• Just another tist

  Cost: Free

  Rather than ruling them, you're just another one of the hypnotists, looking to stake your own territory.

• Joe Schmoe

  Cost: Free

  You won't have any hypnotic powers or anyone under your control. You'll be the one controlled by others.

• Subject #1

  Cost: 5

  All tist believe you to be the ideal hypnotic subject, expect a lot of competition over controlling you.

Hypnotist to Subject Ratio

“So, how much of the world population will get mind control knowledge beamed into their mind and how much will remain as they were as subjects? The default is to just give everyone the ability, so narrowing the targets will cost more.”

• 100%

  Cost: Free

  Wait, it's all tists? This is going to get hectic.

• 50%

  Cost: 1

  One subject to one tist. Expect a lot of infighting among the tists.

  Nine subjects per one tist.

• 1%

  Cost: 2

  One to a hundred, lots to play with without stepping on too many toes.

• 0.01%

  Cost: 2

  Around one tist per town, this is personally what I was going to go with.

  Cost: 3

  One in a million, a bit thin but they'll still get the job done.

  Cost: 4

  About ten to a billion subjects. You'll rarely see a tist at this rate, but their control can still be felt.

• Just one

  Cost: 6

  Only one tist in the whole world. It's either you, or someone you designate. Hey, if you don't want the position, I could always do it?

Methods of Control

“How will the tists control the population?”

• Pocket Watch

  Cost: Free

  Possibly the grandfather of all methods. Doesn't need to be a pocke-twatch, anything can work as a pendulum.

• Spirals

  Cost: 1

  Another classic, just stare at the spiral and let your worries drift away.

• TV Conditioning

  Cost: 3

  Good ol' subliminal messaging. Great if you want people to buy something from you.

• Propaganda

  Cost: 3

  More subliminal messaging, but this time on paper!

• Music

  Cost: 3

  No, you don't have to keep playing the music the whole time to keep them under, just long enough until it's all they can think about.

• Dance

  Cost: 1

  Pairs great with music! Normally the tist dances in a way to lull the mind of the sub, but you can also force the sub to dance their mind away if you wanted.

• Body Parts

  Cost: 1

  Titnosis or Dicknosis. Basically using your body as a hypnotic focus. Personally, I don't see how it's that different from dancing, but other tists disagree.

• Hypnotic Eyes

  Cost: 1

  Ever wanted to silence someone with a glance? Well now you can, and much more!

• Radio Towers

  Cost: 4

  Not to be confused with the radio itself, this option is more of a giant AOE ray gun. Only downside is it can't move.

• Chemical

  Cost: 3

  Effective if put in the water supply, or for starting your own soda company.

• Hypnotic Gas

  Cost: 2

  The classic aerial attack on the brain. Typically paired with arousal.

  A little toy gun that shoots hypnotic lasers. Pew Pew, you're a robot now!

  Cost: 4

• Plants

  Cost: 2

  Tists will be able to design plants with limited sentience to do their bidding. Works great with hypnotic gas.

  Cost: 3

  (Requires Animals)

  Allows you to create animals that didn't exist before. Maybe you want pokemon to enslave a town, or aliens to invade.

  Cost: 2

  A win-win situation. By helping a lost soul find a new body, the lost soul will no doubt be willing to use the body however the tist says.

• Parasites

  Cost: 3

  A wide range, from creepy crawlies to bacteria, these creatures will pilot a body and mind with ease.

• Magic

  Cost: 4

  Alright, so a lot of these options were already pretty much magic, but this is the kind of wave your hands and they're under your control magic.

Effects of Control

“Now for the fun part, what will the tists be able to change about the subs? These option only effect those over 18. Those under 18 will simply ignore what's happening.”

  Allows them to implant triggers in the subjects that can be used to control the other effects.

• Clothing Conform

  Cost: 1

  Allows the tist to designate a form of dress, or a form of undress.

  Cost: 3

  Allows the fist to temporarily add or block memories of a subject. Really get down to the bottom of nature versus nurture.

  Allows nonhuman proportions. Yes, you can turn the world into furries, but you gotta get them under your control first.

  Makes the subject dumber while under the control of the tist.

• Perform Action

  Cost: 3

  Lets you designate a non-sexual action or set of actions that they will perform.

• Freestyle

  Cost: 5

  The rest have all been suggestions. I think you get the general idea of what the machine is capable of, so feel free to choose this option as many times as you want if you have any additional ideas.

Reaction to Control

“How should humanity react to being controlled? You can select multiple for each type of conditioning. This only changes how they feel while being controlled, there are perks later to change how they feel normally.”

• Realistic

  Cost: Free

  People will react completely normally, as if they aren't being controlled

• Hate

  Cost: 1

Average Control Time

“So, how long does the mind control typically last before some form of resistance stops it? Feel free to pick a number between these values if you wish."

• An Hour

  Cost: Free

  Enough for a little fun, but blocks out any long term plans. It will probably get pretty hectic if you picked a large percent of tists.

• A Day

  Cost: 1

  A good amount of time, lets you enjoy the trance before returning to normal.

• A Week

  Cost: 2

  Lets the tist get to know the subjects pretty well. This starts to get pretty disruptive towards the lives of the subs though.

• A Year

  Cost: 4

  Long term! Might be hard to retun to normal life after this long.

• Five Years

  Cost: 6

  For those who want a life commitment, without the commitment.

• Permanent

  Cost: 8

  For those who want a life commitment, without the commitment.

Resistance Types

“Of course, as easy as it is to control people, there are also forces that seek to break the people of their mind control. Personally, I welcome this. Hypnotizing is the fun part, so it gets kind of bland once you control everyone, ya'know? Pick at least one unless you chose permanent for control time.”

• You

  Cost: Free

  Wait, you want to try to fight against the tists? Alright, but you better be confident in your ability.

• Other Tists

  Cost: 1

  A bunch of goody two shoes who use mind control to revert people back to normal.

  Cost: 1

  Tists tend to get bored and release their prey so they can catch them again.

• Strong Willed

  Cost: 2

  The population just manages to shake it off with time.

• Fate

  Cost: 3

  The universe itself tries to resist. Whether a loud twig manages to snap them out of it or someone around them coincidentally says the trigger word to undo the conditioning, people will find themselves freed through sheer coincidence.

• Governmental

  Cost: 2

  Whether its the police or a special anti-hypno taskforce, the government works hard to keep it's citizens minds free.

World Perks

“So, my machine can actually do a whole lot more than just mind control people, it also has some reality warping features which should let you alter humanity as a whole.”

• Human Durability

  Cost: 2

  Gives humanity literal thick skin. Good against most temperature extremes and basic injuries. Useful for states of undress or crawling.

• No diseases

  Cost: 2

  I hate being sick, so I was just going to remove all of that, including STDs. Don't worry, I'll leave any mind control diseases that you picked alone.

• Good Digestion

  Cost: 2

  This makes it so food eaten is fully used, no more waste products and a greatly reduced need to eat. Alternatively, you can reverse the effect of this perk and make the human body produce more waste, or make the body only produce one kind.

• Happy Parents

  Cost: 2

  Gives humans full control of their own fertility and virility. Even under heavy brainwashing a subject will still know whether they would want a child as if they were fully lucid.

• Good Fun

  Cost: 3

  Makes the world a more lighthearted place. The tists care about the well being of the world and those under their control.

• Functional Society

  Cost: 3

  Ensures that no matter how enslaved the global population is, the world and society at large will still function just fine.

• Peacetime

  Cost: 4

  Ensures that no war or famine will ever disrupt the world again.

• Just another day

  Cost: 2

  Makes the public view mind control as a everyday part of life. It's an inconvenience at worst and a welcome break from the monotony at best.

• Relaxed Laws

  Cost: 2

  Law enforcement are sympathetic to those under control. Anything done as a result of mind control will be ignored by the law.

World Drawbacks

“These are some side effects the machine causes. Normally it automatically resists them, but by letting the side effects happen you should be able to reclaim some power. These overpower any perks you might have.”

• Brain Melting

  Gain: 3

  Slowly decreases the brain functionality of the subjects over several years. Eventually they'll hardly be able to even follow orders.

• Aggressive tists

  Gain: 4

  Control itself isn't enough for the tists. They won't stop until they've torn down everything they cant control.

• Crumbling Society

  Gain: 4

  It's hard to focus on work when you're so busy focusing on pleasing your new master. Expect shortages in pretty much everything when a tist gains power.

• Realistic Hypnosis

  Gain: 3

  Tones down the mind control powers closer to a realistic level of hypnosis. It will take a while to control anyone, the duration is limited, and it's super easy to resist.

• Rules are Rules

  Gain: 3

  Law enforcment and the legal system wont care if someone was being controlled, if they break the law they're getting the book thrown at them. That doesn't mean tists get off scott free, they'll also be blamed for all crimes they made people commit.

• Reduced Limits

  Gain: 3

  Normally even the most devious tist will be given a strong urge not to permanently harm a person. This removes that urge and allows them to command the subjects to hurt themselves and others non-fataly.

• No Limits

  Gain: 4

  (Requires Reduced limits)

  Allows the tists to give fatal orders. All it's going to take is one crazed tist and the worlds kinda fucked. Are you sure you want this?

• Permanent Commands

  Gain: 4

  All commands given are permanent and can't be overwritten by anyone, even the tist. This means that if someone were to be ordered to stay naked, they would never be able to wear clothes again, even after the trance wore off.

• Reflection

  Gain: 2

  Honestly this one is kind of fun. Any commands given by a tist also affect themselves at about a quarter power. Good at keeping the tists from going too far but also stops them from doing much at all.

What to do with the Woman

“So, now that you've designed your world, what happens to me?”

• Keep Her

  “Hehe, so you want to keep me for yourself? Maybe you want me to take the load off your shoulders and control people for you. Or maybe you want someone to cuddle as the others mess with your mind. Either way, as long as I'm by your side I don't mind.”

• Normalize

  “So I should remove my ability to mind control and your power over me? Let me get this straight You're telling me I should remove the two things I currently love most in the world from myself, you and mind control?

  Alright. If master wills it I'm sure it will be fine. Ahem, uh, if you don't mind can I also make myself a huge hypnoslut? If I'm going to be among the mind controlled masses I might as well enjoy myself.”

• Undo the conditioning, freeing her

  "Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that as soon as I undo it and stop seeing you as a living god I'm going to try taking over the world again, you alright with that?"
