+# town signup
+The point of this command is to enable signing up for tilde.town via an ssh connection. It is designed to be run when `join@tilde.town` is SSH'd to.
 
-It ought to work something like this:
+## to-dos
 
-```bash
-
-ssh signup@tilde.town
-
-       <ascii art>
-
-       tilde.town
+- [ ] finish this command
+	- [x] interactive guts
+  - [x] logging
+	- [ ] write answers to disk
+	- [ ] splash screen       - put off
+	- [ ] easter egg commands - put off
+	- [ ] inactivity timer(?) - put off
+- [ ] review tool

+## initial thoughts
+
+I need a script for how this interaction should go. It should feel more organic and fluid than just filling out a form. It shouldn't, however, take more than 10 minutes to get through stuff. The end result is to collect:
+
+- an email address
+- how a user found out about the town
+- if they have a referral from an existing member
+- what interests them about the town
+- any links to personal websites or social media
+
+A given is that the applicant is interacting with a "host" that guides them through the process. Should there be more than one host?
+
+How many rooms should there be? 1? more?
+
+in terms of data collection, I intend to just save the transcript of their interaction instead of more structured data. The only real structured data are email and referral.
+
+another idea/thought/dream:
+
+the whole point of this is to spatialize a form. it's a form! a set of questions and corresponding textarea elements. but in order to trigger self reflection -- as well as a feeling of being seen by another (in a good way) -- i want to turn the form into a shape. i'm thinking about this like the room in Eclipse Penumbra:
+
+(For the Hollow Head was drug paraphenalia you could walk into. The building itself was the syringe, or the hookah, or the sniff-tube)
+
+so, spatialized, every room is a question. the rooms take shape as a linear script the user moves through by:
+
+1. answering a question
+2. executing a verb
+
+and finally at the end, a verb to confirm submission.
