08 MAR 2010Investment gameFunny world is literally the sum of our funny money: what's written on it and how much it's worth. Our personal wealth is our individual funny world, and when we join with others we make up a larger funny world. We enrich ourselves by copying funnies from each other. Once a week we have a game party where a group builds funny world. There we may deal with major issues such as: What is the funny world holiday? Some will say April 1st, some Halloween, some say both. Players put up funny money with their choice, and the one with the higher investment wins. (We went with both April 1st and Halloween as funny world holidays.) That little game is the engine of growth for both the funny economy and the time dollars economy. It's another product, and the previous product was create a time dollars economy, so this one goes a level deeper. If we run the engine we'll build an economy. Let's call it the investment game, and put it to its first test: Can it play heretics vs. Inquisition? We can all play both parts, playing heretic until someone makes a serious proposal. Ideally all the other players will unanimously turn Inquisition and pound it to death, dividing the meager spoils. But if it's close we play the investment game to decide. Serious or funny? Which side gets the higher investment?
