khalling came up with a good idea that I think is worth expanding on. Let's see what great ideas we can come up with for a board game that follows Atlas Shrugged's theme and principals. (Is Shrugged's a word?? It's pretty hard to pronounce.)
So please contribute your ideas, for questions/tasks/etc that a player would have to answer or accomplish correctly to move forward in the game. C'mon, it'll be fun! We ARE allowed to have fun in the Gulch!

    It looks like you may have some adware on your computer k. Those ads you're seeing on words are not controlled by us but rather some other unrelated piece of software you potentially, and inadvertently, installed while installing something else.

    Have you installed anything new on your computer? Are you the only one with access to your computer?

    I like the what if questions. but unclear how answers would be quantified. I also like the idea of having to answer correctly questions on the Constitution and Objectivism. what I would not like to see is players pitted against each other-like if you land on the same space, you get kicked back, or things like that.

    the path of moving on the board should be in the shape of the dollar sign. that way, if you land on a certain space it could send you back or forward along the dollar sign slashes-or whatever the two lines down the S are called

    I almost wonder if it is some adware thing. I was logged onto another computer last night. maybe I better wake up Norton Security on it to kick some butt

    Sounds great and if you don't answer the question right, you get punished by having a looter added to your productivity line. You have to deal with them until you can earn the electrical contraption they used on John Galt near the end of the book. Oh, and you need to be able to earn a gun for protection, and upgrade it the further you get. Maybe some Constitution questions could be added. Just throwing some more ideas out...

    Do we have dice?... roll the dice to advance to next space. Spaces can have different types of job/careers/ways to make money. Some spaces will have cards that have questions pertaining to the jobs you land on, .....we need job/money making space ideas. (Or something all together different...just throwing stuff out there.) Answers will determine your level of productivity (maybe the number on the dice will determine that...some times.) Some questions could be "What if..." question to determine level of principles or self interest. Does this make any sense?
