http://fortmcmoney.com/en It's a game documentary about Fort McMurray, one of the fastest developing cities in the world, based on a massive oil-based industrial complex. The trailer showcases that there is going to be a game based on Fort McMurray, with Four Game Session. [One of them Starts soon, Nov. ~21st? 25th?, 2013...] I can't get the feeling that someone took my suggestion that we should use gamer-based cognitive engines for more important things... Please tell me this isn't like a game of Democracy 3, in which we control Fort McMurray...

Or what?

Shh, don't tell the Americans that we have pipelines and technology. They might still think we live in igloos! Anyway, I don't feel like I should go and give some company free labor.

Too bad, you already categorized images of lake beds, and solved cancer, you've already sold untold amounts of money of proccessing-time to computer network clusters... or otherwise free labour [like censuses, community service, voting, etc etc]. Anyways, you are doing free civil/political/industrial/economic labour, since you are dealing with multiple interests [oil/civil/aboriginal/environmental]. It'd be interesting if gamers could actually run a city better than a multiparty, representative democracy could.

EVE manages to have quite a few governments operating fairly well. This is a very interesting idea, I'm curious to see the end result.
