You know, seeing all the work people have volunteered to running this site and this PA and furthering their characters, I think it would be a great idea, if all that energy and time spent could be somehow translated into something productive.

He he, let's say alll the harvester values and stuff wass some real life data, masked as game data and al the game players manipulate and use it, while the masters of the game (the devs and such) then take the finished product and use it. Everyone is still having fun playing the game, except they are doing work, too. Kinda limke Tom Sawyer and painting the fence.

I know it reads confusing, but the jist of it is, wouldn't it be awesome if all the work stuff would be somehow masked into a computer game?

I think he just meant that while playing, we would actually be kinda working IRL

Nope, if you live in say, India or Mexico and can sell virtual items for hundreds of dollars, you'd be a rich man :)
