I understand that WWO is going to try to archive the whole bit. Why don't you approach your school and see if they would like to conduct they're own program for say, the journalism students. I think that I will be suggesting that to my local school system. Someone posted that the schools were not allowing the students to participate because the students would have live blogs (safety considerations?). However if the blogging was done internally, the concept might just work!

Now that's an idea! I think that the English teacher who does Creative Writing courses at my school might be open to the idea, even if it's just for one or two writing assignments.

Same thing happened to me Rekidk....I'm still pretty busy with work and all. Hopefully all will have settled down once I get playing the other ARGs I've been waiting a long time for. All in all WWO was interesting and thought provoking but I kind of rather like the escape from reality that some games tend to have. All in all though it was really cool with all the interaction (both pre-game and during the game). So I give a thumbs up interaction-wise but it became a little too 'school project about the oil crisis'-like. I'm all for lots of players but I'd rather play something more to do with puzzles. While I've enjoyed the game it usually isn't my cup of tea...

I agree with this sentiment. Really, I enjoyed the pregame a whole lot--we got some great interaction with the characters as well as good information.

However, I don't think I'd call this a school project--I'd be esctatic (sp?) if my school decided to do this as a graded projet. Although, you're right--oftentimes the topics felt like assignments.

Wow, this is already almost over! I feel terrible... I was so ready to participate, I had ideas for videos, etc... Then real life took its hold and I never really became active.

However, I still kinda followed along, and it's been an interesting ride.

I'll miss G-mom the most. :'(

I had the following response to an entry I made on my LJ Account Quote: In principal such an object could be used as a counterweight to a light, yet strong, space elevator pylon Good news - we don't need a huge mucking rock for a counterweight. Extend the total length of the thing to 100,000 kms, park the deployment vehicle at the end for a small counterweight and Bob's Your Uncle. Plus with a ribbon that long we get a space flinger - objects at the end of the ribbon achieve terrestrial escape velocity. Which isn't to say that using an asteroid would not be cool - it would be. But we don't _need_ one. Brian Dunbar LiftPort As a PM on Orbital Colony this is funny on so many levels

hahahahaha that's awesome!

I agree with her. Went up 20 cents in the past two weeks.

so i totally love when this happens. i was driving home from work and thinking about what i was going to blog about for today and i noticed that gas is now $3.19 a gallon. it was $2.79 a day ago! i did a double take and went and checked another station to make sure it wasn't someone playing a joke tinag right?

My wife tried to blame the game today for the recent rise of gas prices.
