See what I did there? Civic Mirror? (laugh) Anyway, we just had a practice run of this thing. It's a program that simulates a country where everyone apparently has seven members in their fictitious family living under the same roof ( What time period is this in?)? It can either be utter chaos or a wannabe Utopia, depending on how you plan it. Like life, except you're taking care of 7 other people and crying about how only one person having all the Energy and you're all going to die. Yeah, juuuuuust like life.
So, we're supposed to answer some questions, so here we go, questions.
Q1. What did you learn during the practice run?
Tough question. What did I learn...? You might want to ask a person who didn't own part of the City Hall and thus had like, all the luxuries; plus a house and an apartment. It would have been great had I not been too slow to get energy ( actually, didn't get any). I learned that some people are jerks, a la giving their friends most of everything. However, I also learned that if you point out people's mistakes in the trade section they are very likely to fix it. Weird. People also can't live without having powered houses too, apparently. You know, despite all the people who live with no energy and still survive in small shacks and stuff.
Q2. Has it made you think about social or governement issues?
Not really; but maybe when the actual not-practice run starts that'll change? We just don't know. All it reminded me of was my terrible anxiety when asking people for things, afraid they'll turn me down and get angry at me for even asking.
Q3. How should good(s) be distributed?
I'd distribute goods to the people who need them the most first, and those who already have it can just suck it I mean-- just deal with what they've got. Once the goods in question are back in, then they can have more.
Don't be greedy.
Q4. Do we need a government to help keep people organized?
Hah, pretty much. Without some kind of power figure like government, worst case scenario we'd have people killing other people and/or stealing everything in sight. There'd be nothing left for A N Y B O D Y.
Crap I just realized this is supposed to go in my Civics section. Oh well, it'll go up there as well. Double post!
