Post subject: Superstruct - building the world of 2019 now

Hey all
Just started this. Serious game. Lots of reading and concepts to get into, but also a real chance that good things could come of it. It is suppose to run for six weeks. We are starting a blog on shanghaiexpat for people who want to play to write their stories and solutions for Shanghai in 2019. - even if its just me.. Smile. Visit their site and start to absorb some of the ideas if you want to go further.
Visit http://www.superstructgame.org/

Q: What is Superstruct?
A: Superstruct is the world’s first massively multiplayer forecasting game. By playing the game, you’ll help us chronicle the world of 2019--and imagine how we might solve the problems we'll face. Because this is about more than just envisioning the future. It’s about making the future, inventing new ways to organize the human race and augment our collective human potential.

Q: What does “superstruct” mean?
Su`per`struct´ v. t. 1.To build over or upon another structure; to erect upon a foundation.
Superstructing is what humans do. We build new structures on old structures. We build media on top of language and communication networks. We build communities on top of family structures. We build corporations on top of platforms for manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. Superstructing has allowed us to survive in the past and it will help us survive the super-threats.

Q: Who can play Superstruct?
Everyone! The more players, the better the collective forecast.

Q: How do I play Superstruct?
A: Superstruct is played on forums, blogs, videos, wikis, and other familiar online spaces. We show you the world as it might look in 2019. You show us what it’s like to live there. Bring what you know and who you know, and we’ll all figure out how to make 2019 a world we want to live in.

Q: What are the challenges facing players of Superstruct?
A: There are five challenges presented, all of them unique and all of them are intertwined. They are presented as "Superthreats". They are: Quarantine, Ravenous, Outlaw Planet, Generation Exile and Power Struggle.
