Stepping into a World Without Oil

The game is over, but if you want to get a feel for the game and how it progressed, you’ve come to the right blog. Best to read it in chrono order, which means start here (with my first post, down at page 2 bottom) and work your way up. You can also use the blog Index page.

The game went for 32 days (April 30 to June 1) but since each day in real time was a week in game time, the crisis covered 32 weeks – from April 30 to December 8, 2007. My posts start back when the game was announced, in March 2007. Have fun!

 

Week 32: It Takes A Village

As WWO comes to a close, these are the stories that stood out in my mind: RedHatty in Louisiana listens to her elders; blueski subverts the dominant paradigm; Warnwood walks not away from something, but toward something; and last, Gracesmom and Grace choose to be positive in a world without oil.

 

World Without Oil?

My friend Dana sent me a link to this: apparently an oil crisis is going to start in less than two months. Not a real one: it’s going to happen inside a type of game they call an Alternate Reality Game, or ARG. But based on the convos at the Unfiction forum (where is where the experienced ARG players hang out), this game is going to seem very real.
