The goal of the agoraXchange website is global participation in creating a world where political institutions no longer perpetuate war and inequality.
agoraXchange will serve as a dynamic repository, soliciting and displaying contributions, suggestions, and collaborations that will be used to design a massive, multiplayer online game world simulating an alternative to the present global order. While the game design and most game rules will be provided by participants of agoraXchange, all proposals must accommodate four initial decrees challenging present conventions for awarding nationality and wealth.
agoraXchange will create an environment for participants to exchange ideas and work together on the rules, design, and the code to be used in building the game. Participation will be facilitated by techniques used in other successful large-scale online distributed collaborations, ranging from the open source software movement to self-regulating, peer-to-peer discussion groups.
Rather than offering criticism of the world as it is, agoraXchange aims to create new possibilities.
My part therein was to support
FDTdesign with my technical skills and of course my experience. It was my first job for
FDTdesign.
