A: Superstruct is the world’s first massively multiplayer forecasting game. By playing the game, you’ll help us chronicle the world of 2019--and imagine how we might solve the problems we'll face.

Q: What does “superstruct” mean?[]
Su`per`struct´ v. t. 1.To build over or upon another structure; to erect upon a foundation. Superstructing is what humans do. We build new structures on old structures.

We build corporations on top of platforms for manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. Superstructing has allowed us to survive in the past and it will help us survive the super-threats.
Q: Who can play Superstruct?[]
Everyone! The more players, the better the collective forecast.
Q: How do I play Superstruct?[]
A: Superstruct is played on forums, blogs, videos, wikis, and other familiar online spaces. We show you the world as it might look in 2019. You show us what it’s like to live there. Bring what you know and who you know, and we’ll all figure out how to make 2019 a world we want to live in.

The first stages of this new game have already been launched and will be running from now through May of 2010! Check it out: http://www.urgentevoke.com/

the first nine p2p Badges
The Superstruct Government seems to confer badges using an invisible and silent method, these badges and their award system is completely off the grid, and meant to fill a gap of recognition between SEHI's. The points awarded are also off the grid but completely transferable and as good as cash used to be. You can award as many as you like to whomever you wish. Be sure to let them know when you do. This is a public feel-good process!
