The document proposes the Openworld Game, which will partner with social networks and localities to spread initiatives that help struggling areas thrive with peer-to-peer support. It will incentivize spreading "seeds of radical abundance" by rewarding participants for assembling starter kits and resources for self-funding community projects. As localities make commitments to projects and reforms, online participants can pledge support like microgrants. The goal is to replicate proven models that empower people and unlock economic potential through grassroots action.

1. Openworld
Game
How social networks can
partner with localities to thrive
in the peer-to-peer era

2. Meltdown
› Eroding
wages, failing financial systems,
deleveraging markets
› Billions
of people need ways to build
free, resilient, and thriving communities

3. The
Opportunity
Small catalysts
can turn failing
systems inside
out
… in ways that
replicate and
scale

4. It’s happened before...

5. Phoenicia’s idea

6. In the Internet era…
Digital ‘gifts on a
beach’ can help us
spread innovations
around the world

7. The Openworld Game will
work with Facebook groups
and others online to:
› Incentivize
students, jobseekers
and tribes to spread seeds of
“radical abundance”
› Promote projects that awaken
assets on a success-sharing
basis, rewarding participants
who give valued inputs

8. Q How will it work?

9. Online participants pick favorite
1
initiatives to help struggling areas

10. 2
Participants define practical, Starter
self-funding projects in their Kit
areas of interest
They earn points by assembling
“Seeds of change” starter kits
for these projects, freely
downloadable by any locality

11. 2
Online teams can also produce
advanced kits for local allies
Video orientations and eLessons on “early
wins” and long-term upsides can be stored on
US$10 MicroSD cards for cell phones:
› “How to” videos featuring bootstrap initatives in
poor areas that have become self-sustaining
› Microstipends (via Paypal, Bitcoin, etc) that
ensure “day one” access for residents to regional
and global eLearning and eHealthcare providers
› Startup work-study projects whose completion by
students and jobseekers creates credentials for
entry into global telework markets
› Access to allied microlending and
microinvestment sites, with further introductions
to larger lenders/investors
› Links to global volunteers active in social
networks and allied campus groups, technology
innovators, and policy reform institutes

12. 3
› Online participants pledge personal time
and/or microgrants for projects in
communities that make the fullest
commitments
› Ascending levels of support are given to
communities that agree to commit land
and enabling reforms for the ventures

13. To unlock each ascending
level of support…
› Local project champions
digitally record and upload (on
Flickr, Slideshare, Youtube) their
progress in reaching key
milestones

14. Seeds of Change offers can be spread widely!
in informal and formal sectors…

15. At grassroots levels,
prospective partners
identify projects of interest
Clean water
eLearning via
system
telecenters

16. And earn points by uploading
local opportunity profiles
› Community profiles
(in the MiiU.org
Resilient Places wiki)
› Slides with ideas on
projects
› Youtube clips of
available sites &
reform commitments
to awaken assets

17. What kind of asset-awakening
reforms?
› eGovernment (pilots of web-based
licensing/permits)
› Transparent land registries
› Alternative Dispute Resolution
systems
› Singapore/Hong Kong-style free
zone policies
› Flexiwage bonus systems for public
sector employees (linking pay to the
economic health of the locality)

18. Examples of land value gains
5x – 50x land value
gains have occurred
in leading free cities
and zones, following
adoption of reforms
The Openworld Game
will encourage
projects that include
local and global good
causes as US$ 71.1 billion
beneficiaries
in land lease
earnings
(Hong Kong from
1970-2000)

19. As localities offer sites for
projects, participants may agree
to begin pilot projects

20. How a local project can unlock ascending resources
As a pilot project advances, localities can digitally record its milestones. Each milestone
can earn “Freedompoints” redeemable (for example) in community microscholarships to
spread skills, microvouchers to access telemedicine, introductory telework jobs,
introductions to investors, and other pre-agreed benefits.

22. What’s next?
› Introduce a working “pledge currency” for radical
abundance (building on Eli Gothill’s Twitter-based currency)
› Prepare a game prototype (with GoogleEarth, Sketchup,
and other off-the-shelf apps)
› Engage social networks (to create Seeds of Change
toolkits, develop a reputation-building reward for volunteers, and
define standing offers of online assistance for exemplary local
projects)
› Assemble digital gifts (commitments by luminaries, social
capital investors, foundations, and others to support challenge offers)
› Assist grassroots allies (with an initial focus on entrepreneurial
schools and self-help groups in poor communities that seek land
grant sites and asset-awakening reforms)
› Replicate self-funding projects (sponsor competitions to
award Seeds of Change resources to new areas seeking to remove
barriers to growth)

23. Let’s do it!
