New website at www.worldwithoutoil.org. Along with a bunch of other players I’ve been wondering how to prepare for the oil crisis. It just seems overwhelming. Just about everything I do depends on oil in some way.
The WWO characters have pointed out some possible reasons the oil shock is going to happen. What’s scary is – they’re not fiction, they’re real. And the players have been able to find plenty others. Wwo-mordy did a good job on his/her blog – start on April 18 and click your way forward to learn about oil troubles in China and Nigeria.
Players are in contact with the people who are putting together the website where we will help chronicle the crisis. These people call themselves the “8TSOC” and although they are fictional characters in the game they seem pretty real. Here’s a chat that a player named Stax had with Gracesmom (Sharon) about Nico, the mysterious guy who leaked the news that an oil shock is coming. And here’s where the 8TSOC people blog to each other.
We’re getting the message that the characters aren’t going to be solving this crisis – it’s up to us players. If anyone can, that is.
