The game concept allows for a small group of programmers to make a big mmorpg. While I appreciate the criticism it's all stuff I've thought about already and I don't want to publicly tell too many people about the concept. I'm wondering if this sort of project is of any interrest to anyone (if I had heard about such a project I would jump on board right away lol). A bit on me: I've been a programmer for 3 years at an awesome market research company. I've created a few small-scale games before, but nothing like a mmorpg. I've done a fair bit of research on the subject. I've read through this entire blog, and I'm using the pub/sub technique this blog talks about: http://onlinegametechniques.blogspot.ca/search?updated-max=2009-03-16T09:00:00-07:00&max-results=7&start=35&by-date=false&m=1 The game is at the point where it could start to benefit from graphics, the server has got player movement, attacks, items and monsters mostly done. Won't be crazy 3d graphics or anything, we'll be using sprites and stuff like "Dart" is cool, as long as it turns into javascript in the end product.

I hope I've not broken any rules by posting this here, I didn't see any rules against this. I'm in the process of making a browser-based mmorpg game made with websockets and HTML5/javascript. I'm at the point of needing the GUI started. It will be pure javascript/HTML in order to appeal to a wider audience. (using the same technology as mozilla's Brwoser Quest: http://browserquest.mozilla.org ) Graphic design would be awesome as well (not required). The game has a few unique features where players get to play in an ancap-style sandbox kind of world. I am unable to financially compensate you for this. The only benefit in it for you is the enjoyment of working on a project with like-minded individuals, and if the project ends up actually getting finished- I'm happy to split the profits (we can work this out if you're down on doing the project).The current team consists of myself (python programmer working on the server mainly), and my friend who is working on balances, play-testing, and will deal with the legal stuff down the road (incorporating and other annoying statist business crap). I spend less than 5hrs a week on this, so it's not a high-pressure project. Please message me if you're at all interrested, if you have any ideas, or suggestions on where to find someone who might fit the above description.

That's brutal... I really wonder if 1930s germany was like this...

I'm no expert on UPB, but I must say- I do like your explanation, it makes sense (regardless of whether it's applicable)

I can never find that podcast, however i've directed a few people to it in the long-ago past. There was a youtube video for it... This is the article (or at least the same town) as he talked about in the podcast: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1028740/Accident-free-zone-The-German-town-scrapped-traffic-lights-road-signs.html Thanks for the longer video, it's good thanks!

Stef did a podcast on a town like this (or maybe it was this town). This video raised some good points that I don't think stef talked about. [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gVW-YAQCSVs]

It's a pretty amazing documentary. The whole hypocrisy and surprising amount of truth therein makes for a very condensed intellectual experience while watching. It's definately worth the watch for anyone either concerned about the world, or who enjoys a brainfuck (sorry I don't know if there's any other word).

Wow, 1984 approaching. Unreal.

[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NMr2VrhmFI] I thought this was going to be a poorly done documentary, but it's actually very good from what I can tell so far. Obviously being north korea there's a lot of "our great leader", but other then that they certainly point out a lot of truthes about north american society.

Shot, taken to a hospital, and killed ... hmmmm

Stef has addressed this before, and I'd agree with him. Something along the lines of- why focus on 'conspiracies' when there's much worse that the state does in the open. Openly murdering citizens in other countries, creating a permanent underclass through welfare, to name only a few offenses.

Well put, ever since I learned this. I've certainly saved a lot of time doing more enjoyable stuff than banging my head against a wall.

*sound* silly. I dare anyone do attempt to replicate that accent.

Derren brown has a very good way of explaining it. The explenation starts around 6 mins in.
