Games

  • Map Games- Map games are similar to scenario pages, except that players control a country or faction. It is a great way to pass the time and very addicting!


Scenario or article?

  • This wiki is collaborative. We aim to have good factual articles about the future based on things happening right now, that seem significant for the future. However, different people have different views as to how likely different futures are. One person's slight extrapolation of current trends is seen by someone else as, at best, unsubstantiated speculation. Which leads us to a problem. How to separate the two?
  • We generally try to keep speculation to scenario pages. Pages without the 'Scenario:' in their title should have links and references in support of the trend they claim. We try, but don't always succeed.
  • Though we aim to have a wiki with mainly scientific and well-backed articles, we don't discourage fiction. Any contributor is welcome to add their own vision of the future, but they should try to keep it plausible. We do welcome improvements to our many scenarios. Improvements move scenarios away from fiction and give thought-provoking justification for the portrayed futures. A poor scenario will look like nonsense, or like badly written science fiction - though it may have an intriguing idea behind it. A good scenario will make you think about the future in a new way.
