Quote:
A Force More Powerful is the first and only game to teach the waging of conflict using nonviolent methods. Destined for use by activists and leaders of nonviolent resistance and opposition movements, the game will also educate the media and general public on the potential of nonviolent action and serve as a simulation tool for academic studies of nonviolent resistance.


........

Quote:
Think of what this means: trial and error without actual mace and bullets and handcuffs. Learn how to be successful dealing with different scenarios, different psychological opponents. Understand when you can press your advantage and when to demur. Practice these things until they become second nature. NOW you are ready to go out into the real world, educate, better prepared, emotions in control because you now have more understanding and confidence in the dynamics which are likely to play out. You've been here before!

But Wait! as they say on late night TV, there's more!

The game is designed so that you may share settings with others via a website. Share your successful ideas with others around the world, learn from their mistakes. Mentor others in non-violent regime change.

I find this so terribly exciting. $20 plus shipping. And continuing development on this game is in the works. And you were maybe thinking that the future was looking bleak, weren't you? Hah!.

And of course the real question is yet unanswered. "Will it be any fun?"

The game has a major bug in it though. If you're protesting against protesting, it causes the game to crash. :lol:

I can't stand the thought of playing another MMO that uses the word 'Force'.

it can be. capitalism is merely an economic system. unfortunately it has some ill side-effects, like higher vulnerability to greed.... which is where the "warmongering" comes in.

Which is why I joined, actually. :)

Just making a joke, kind of my way, I guess.
