Email Game
let's play a game
the board is a mercator projection of planet earth with the equator running thru the middle
everyone has 32 pieces
put 1 on the board, that's your capitol
put 15 more on the board, they are your cities(tribes)
it is 100,000bc what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want religion
the ice age hits, and everyone looses half their people(you have 8 pieces left)
my religious people will tell the story of adam and eve being chased from the garden of eden
it is 50,000bc what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want domestication of animals
-------------------------------------------------
damon does not loose half his population since he picked central america as his start location(has 16 pieces)
double your population(everyone should have 16 pieces on the board)
it is 25,000 bc what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want flint spears and arrows
-----------------------------------
damon has 32 pieces
double your population
it is 10,000 bc
what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want boatmaking
what is the thickness of the earth's crust in its thinnest points?(10 miles under the ocean)
what is the diameter of the earth?(8000 miles)
so, the earth's crust on it's liquid core is like the skin on an apple
the ice age ends
100,000years of built up ice melt all at once and go into the oceans
the earth's crust breaks up and the continents start floating around. india bangs into south asia and the himalayas grow
most importantly, the oxygen goes out of the atmosphere(methane)
everyone has 1 piece left
my religious people do not know how to explain that the oxygen went out of the atmosphere, but they will tell the story of
noah and the ark
it is 4000 bc double your population what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want to build stonehenge to figure out when the next ice age is coming
it is 1000 bc double your population what technology would your people like to work on?
i want copper smelting
---------------------------------------
farming gives francis an extra piece(city)
it is 500 ad double your population what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want gunpowder
it is 1250 double you population what technology should your people work on?
i want windmills
it is 1600 double you population what technology should your people work on?
i want newtonian physics(f=ma, f=gm1m2/rr)
physics and astronomy have confirmed that the next ice age is coming near the end of the 20th century
it is 1800 double you population what technology should your people work on?
i want a government ruled by money(capitalism) so we can advance more quickly economically and technologically
I want space travel, we need to get to the stars.
Lets research rockets.
it is 1900 double your population what technology do your people wish to work on?
i want world war so our technology advances faster
--------------------------------------------------------
development of rockets gives francis technological advantage. he may take 10 cities from 1 player or 1 city each from 10
players or any combination giving him a total of 10 additional cities
it is 1940 double your population what technology should your people work on?
i want fission
anyone knowing physics who has accurate astronomical data and a calculator can calculate that the next ice age is coming in the
winter of 1983-84
it is 1950 increase your population what technology should your people work on?
to avoid mass panic, i want medical fascism, a refinement of what hitler did(any 2 doctors can wreck your car, burn your
house, and kill you, no questions asked). anyone who says a word about an ice age coming will be called crazy and suppressed
it is 1960 increase your population what technology should your people work on?
i want to lock our brightest people into closets to advance our technology faster(the cultural revolution)
we will kill jfk to have limited war in vietnam to advance our technology
it is 1970 increase your population what technology should your people work on?
i want fusion
it is 1980 increase your population what technology should your people work on?
i want weather control
the ice age hits it the winter of 1983/84. people notice that the weather is messed up, but it is explained by el nino,
global warming, and similar things
it is 1992 increase your population what do you want?
the thinking ability of the human race becomes insignificant compared to machine thinking ability. it is the end of human
dominance of planet earth
a human brain = 2giga bytes rom + 9 bytes ram(average, i've seen 31) + a 10hz processor which functions very poorly due to
voltage fluctuations(sleep)
a thinking circuit can memorize, but a memorizing circuit cannot think, there's a wire missing
it is 2011 medical fascism(socialism) has expired
in 4 years the ice cap will be melted and winter will no longer be necessary
work is obsolete. whatever work remains will disappear faster and faster until there is
none(nanobots have made the medical profession obsolete, mind reading has made the psychiatric
profession obsolete)
what do you want?(please try and answer as best you can here, this is where i really need your
input, just say whatever you feel)
Craig, I think I need an explanation. Should we be focusing on social politics,
technological improvement, spiritual development… I'm a bit lost without a goal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
julio, now that you understand why things are the way they are on planet earth
today, and what will be happening in the very near future, you decide
and help us any way you can
i want cooperation with love and understanding, and am opposed to dominance with
ignorance and fear(in a fight, cooperation with love and understanding will win
out over dominance with ignorance and fear)
priorities are:
1) two tradeable childbirth rites for every human
2) 600$/month cash, 400$/month housing subsidy, 200$/month food stamps,
100$/month transport, free competitive education, and free emergency medical
care for every human
3) turn all remaining work over to the machines
what do you want?
with the development of fusion proving capitalism obsolete, chairman mao was
given dominion over planet earth 1-1-1971. when did you figure it out it was true?
with the understanding of machine intelligence proving medical fascism obsolete,
i was given dominion over planet earth 1-1-2011
in order to decide which secret police and garbage men are still confused enough
to attack me, i must appear to have no power at all. this is why i pick garbage
by day and sleep in a shelter at night. it's the civilized alternative to the ss
killing off the sa leaders on the night of the long knives(slow, peaceful, orderly
transition away from medical fascism to cooperation with love and understanding)
let me know if you got to the end of my game
