"Conspiracy Theroist"
The purpose of this application is to gameify world news stories, your goal is to create the most interesting/viral conspiracies that others in the community can vote up or down. After a user is login, they have the ability to create their own conspircies, complete with title and description. From there, users have the ability to view current news stories from the app's homepage, they have a choice to add this new story to any of their previously created conspiracies. Finally, once even supporting evidence has been attached to a conspiracy, users have the ability to publish their creations to the rest of the community. A "Top Conspiracy" community page exists where the community can vote for or against published conspiracies.
