An Atlas Shrugged video game?
In this month's issue of Reason Magazine, the cover story deals with America's addiction to video games, including more adults than ever. The most intriguing item in the story was about how an economics professor had been hired by a video game company, and the former economics professor illustrated how these multiplayer gaming environments are outstanding models of microsocieties. As several of us are talking about putting together a physical Atlantis, perhaps we could simulate the Gulch as a video game as a "dry run" before actually building Atlantis. Moreover, could you imagine the number of teenagers who would line up to watch Who is John Galt? if the video game were released just before the movie?

You use road and bridges. If you own a video game business, your didn't build that. Someone else did.

With out these traits, just having a lot of people is unlikely to work out very well. A fact collectivists haven't figured out yet.
Finishing by 9/12 probably isn't possible, unless we get a lot of people working on it.
1. That being selfish in itself is NOT a bad thing.
2. If you do the work you SHOULD get a benefit based on actual value produced.
A final product can't be completed by 9/12/14.
Oh well, it's hard to make any long term plans these-days against the increasing whims of political uncertainty.
The smart people in the game would build gated fences (force fields?) around themselves to prevent the attack of thieves.
