ive been playing with this idea for awhile: earth, and nearly every other planet in our galaxy is dead. so to keep from going extinct, humans have built a huge "ark" to get us to another planet. on this ship, people are connected to a vr simulation that lets them experience the whole of human history firsthand through different scenarios, or 'lives'. the goal being to learn how humanity pulled it together, and cooperated for the greater good in order to avoid extinction, which will in turn, allow the simulation to end once they reach their new planet.
after flying through some sort of space macguffin, the program becomes corrupted and starts to give humans free will. from there, the players can work together to build a functioning world that will lead to them being freed once the spaceship lands, or totally screw up the vr world to keep everyone connected. i'm envisioning this as a persistent mmo, that would assign each player a randomly generated character when they first log in, at whatever point the simulation is at on the human timeline.
