Mayor McStuffins gets McStuffed!

This is a game that is a hostage scenario, but the hostage is a stuffed Teddy Bear (Mayor McStuffins) restrained to a chair and gagged.

The game could take part entirely on a live MUD, similar to IFMUD, and the kidnapper would set certain ground rules, similar to SAW. Players would log into the MUD game and play together live trying to solve the puzzles. There would be a time limit to either meet the kidnappers demands or otherwise thwart them, or Mayor McStuffins gets, uh... *stuffed*.

A user breaking one of the ground rules gets called out on the live webcam footage and Mayor McStuffins pays the price for their misbehavior.

This could be accomplished just as easily with a static game packaged with a simple chatroom that allows the players to submit ideas or suggestions to the author.

The game would be introduced with the magazine letter cutout message and an actual live webcam feed of a Teddy Bear restrained to a chair with today's copy of The TeddyBear Times propped up on them as proof of life.
