Both for the existing "active" use and for, what I believe, would be some excellent potential opportunities. How about some school educational applications? Surely, this would fit in nicely within both a "Home Economics 001" and a "Teach Responsibilties" scenarios. And how about political applications? For all of us wrestling with First-Past-The-Post vs Mixed Member Proportional, how about getting politicians to act responsibly and voters to vote responsibly? If that were the case, we wouldn't need all of these voodoo politics. Do you think that you could develop a Responsible Government module. This would reward politicians for "alien behaviour" such as representing their constituents responsibly (when in government) and dealing only with the issues when electioneering (with a zap every time they go negative...). Voters would be rewarded for in-depth research, participation, consultations, debates, and, oh-yeah, voting. Can anyone out there come up with some good appications here? This is great.
