Per 
Notes:
-Sequel to "A Cosmic Cycle"
-Move away from Alcorn as the focus - move into focusing on the relationship between him and Bushnell.
-1985 through 1991. The Rebirth and Shadow Eras of Arcadia.
-Arcadia not the main focus, Bushnell himself is. Arcadia is there, but it's in the background. It's watching.
-Mellow Bushnell out, he's not as hyped up as he is in other articles. But the fundamentals of him haven't changed, he's still Bushnell through and through, ever the businessman.
-Bushnell is tired. He's lost quite a lot. He still has that spark to him though, the drive to conquer. It's clear he still feels as if he's on top, no matter how much that isn't the case.
-Bushnell wants to create an amusement park. A larger version of Chuck E. Cheese if you will.
-Seperate it into a Tale, GOI Format, and an SCP Potentially
-Long term project - do not expect to be finished until late 2021!

Phase 1 Work:
Idea 1, Tale: 1985, Alan Alcorn has decided to meet up with Bushnell following the cancellation of the Cosmos. They meet up at Salt Lake City, Utah, in a warehouse owned by Bushnell. Inside is drawings, design documents, all showcasing a plan Bushnell has for something massive. Alcorn is only able to see a bit of it before Bushnell takes him away to look at something else - possibly relating to robotics? Bushnell and Alcorn discuss the idea, Bushnell reveals he already has it somewhat built, and they head off to look at it (possibly split this between 2 tales, or make this tale longer but compensate.) They arrive at the spot, miles west in the middle of Utah (possibly Nevada), where construction is ongoing for an amusement park - financed by Bushnell and (potentially) Arcadia (Discuss this with others.) Bushnell reveals he wants Alcorn to help him, Tale ends with Alcorn either accepting or refusing (discuss this with others)
Idea 2, GOI Format: Transcript of a discussion between Nolan Bushnell and Howard Lincoln in 1993 begins the document. Unlike A Cosmic Cycle, there is no explanation as to why its here (possibly change? Depends on how people appreciated the background in ACC) Bushnell discusses the modern game industry with Lincoln, requests help from NOA (make sure references to nintendo can be done, dont wanna get into legal trouble because i dont understand the laws haha) Lincoln refuses, and this scene is followed up by documents from Bushnell listing off people he has talked to concerning his project, including Steve Jobs (again, make sure i can use these people), Bill Gates, and possibly others (research into Amusement Park industry needed)
Main Idea, SCP Format: Bushnell's amusement park. A twisted version of disneyworld, somewhat similar to how Spielberg imagined Hammond in Jurassic Park. Get a map drawn up for this. Park begins construction in 1984, Alcorn introduced to it in 1985, is "completed" in 1995, and is quickly destroyed in an event due to magic influences (probably demons). Advanced robotics, amusement park rides (Roller Coasters, possibly 2 of them) kids rides, etc. Nolan Bushnell possibly illegally printed money using thaumaturgy? (is that possible???? it feels like an excuse, preferabbly find out other ways for Bushnell to get the money.) Destruction of the park meant to be horrific (come up with a name at some point - bushnellland or whatever just sounds bad and a rip off, needs to be something new) reality distortion, time dialation, other such things could be explored. Possibly something similar to silent hill? (The whole "otherland" thing they have going on, a dark and light world thing. Might be neat.) Foundation exploration of the site occurs in 1995 just as the "event" is beginning, so an MTF log would be very interesting to try and write. Ask folks for some advice, reread the writing tips on the site guides!!!!
Images needed:
-Map of the Park, In the style of a scanned pamphlet preferabbly, if impossible a simple map would suffice.
-The Park itself, edit a CC compliant photograph (maybe ask a friend for help)
-The Park again but deteriorated (if going with the "otherland" idea thing)
-Nolan Bushnell (if useable)
(Update as Needed)
A break was taken from this point until March, 27th, 2021, upon which time the idea had changed considerably.
Draft will be written up following concept review
