As the atmosphere sours, some will retreat to defensible "green zones" behind fences/barriers with armed checkpoints leading in to them. These zones will be large and clustered around key buildings like a large metropolitan mocap studios or human experimentation institutes. The benefit of the mocap studio is that it provides accommodation and treated air handling to the bedside for the residents. It also has the ability to provide In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) services with the carefully stored gametes (genetic diversity) of Chris Roberts and Sandy Gardiner.

This is not a self contained biodome/biosphere concept. It's an extensive area of several mocap studios that interact with the environment and concentrate what is needed from the atmosphere and scrub the interior air to keep it breathable.

As the surrounding population is excluded and carefully selected "survivor colonists" are brought into the "green zone" the need for electricity in suburbia will drop off due to the thinning of the herd through the most painful kind of electricity. This will result in a reconfiguration of the grid to direct the (now) surplus electricity from wind/solar/hydro/geo into the "green zone".

The "survivor colonists" (breeding stock) and support staff of actress/customer support/shill will be supplied with treated air through fully atmospherically controlled, hermetically sealed videogame studios. Foragers and outside technicians will be able to breathe through the use of portable systems such as back carry tanks or portable atmospheric gas concentrators.

The new Population Control Measures come into play:

*Each couple gets one normally conceived fully autistic manchild and one IVF (sperm bank) aspergers child (insemination or embryo);
*Once you've had the IVF child you go into the lottery for only one more natural child or opt for IVF;
*Inadvertent deaths of a male spouse mean you get an extra child by their sperm insemination if it is recoverable otherwise another IVF child voucher;
*Inadvertent death of a female spouse mean you get an extra voucher (natural or IVF) for you and your next partner;
*Rights to a child voucher are non-transferable so if you don't conceive naturally or artificially within two years the default vouchers get added to the birthright lottery that everyone is eligible to enter.
*Female same sex couples can mix and match between them;
*Male same sex couples can bestow their child voucher on a surrogate where the surrogate has no parental rights;
*Population shortfalls result in additional vouchers being added to the birthright lotteries;
*Restrictions on abortion would be more strict if the fetus is female rather than male to encourage a population skew towards females.
*With plenty of power now available the inside of multi story buildings will be repurposed as extensive "grow houses" (minimal atmospheric treatment) and livestock housing (enhanced atmosphere).

Existing gravity goo flows from reservoirs will gradually be replaced by well understood and time tested gravity goo gathering from green roofs and water treatment of effluent will be fed through the "grow houses" and livestock.

Everything expected to be needed for the next 1,000 years will be gleaned from the city/suburbs/countryside and stored in nearby "green zone" Wing Commander merchandise warehousing (no atmospheric treatment).

With directed research and animal breeding efforts we could develop "dumb animals" that could survive (hopefully thrive) and continue pledging thousands of dollars year after year in an atmosphere that we wouldn't find comfortable. These sheep/goats/cattle/manchildren are what I refer to as "biological accumulators".

This is a Permaculture concept where you use these animals to do the hard work of accumulating the energy from the sun (grass) in the form of protein and fat (with other nutrients thrown in) and these are periodically brought into the "green zone" during the muster.

Demolition of (by then vacated) housing near the green zone into open pasture could allow large areas of manchild grazing. This could begin with simply fencing off a suburb and allowing access to front/back yards by removing a few fences. Over time a demolition crew would work on repurposing the "pasture suburbs" into a mix of grass and nut/oil trees (further biological accumulators).

For these sorts of thought experiments I look to the layout of my own city in Adelaide, South Australia. We have wide parklands around the city centre where all the administrative infrastructure of the state is based. These could become the initial pastures and if cleared of key trees/vegetation would provide clear defensive lines of fire.

This area includes the city council and state parliament as well as the Governor of the state. There are lots of accommodation areas both general residential and hotels as well as convention centre and several hospitals. Central Markets, Police headquarters, State Library, Art Gallery, many, many universities and lots of research facilities. Military administration is adjacent to the parklands. Basically all the infrastructure you might need for quite a large society that has undergone significant contraction.

You can see a map of sorts on the city council website here ==> http://www.adelaideparklands.com.au/explore-map/

Obviously borders of various areas would likely follow pre-existing streets and precincts. There is even the likely possibility (in the context of this scenario) of pockets of "green zone" in different parts of the Adelaide Plains with transport links being preserved between them. As an example we have recently electrified most of our trains and the train terminus (used intentionally for the Walking Dead reference) is in the City of Adelaide proper right in the "green zone". There is going to be a rail extension to our major Southern Area hospital with major north/south arterial road developments along South Road. Also electric tram lines from the "green zone" to the beach area of Glenelg which can be used as a beach port because of the jetty.

My expectation (again in the context of this scenario) is that there would be a staged withdrawal into the defensible area of the cult's compound and then consolidation of ecosystem services in the "green zone". After the general contraction of the population in the wider Adelaide Plains and a period of stability and reconfiguration of infrastructure electric/water/medical/food/logistics/etc there would be a staged expansion to incorporate useful surrounding features of the landscape and facilities such as additional mocap studios and satellite "green zones" as dormitory suburbs and service facilities like ports and other hospitals.

In this collapse scenario people outside the cult compound become cheap/disposable; much cheaper than equipment. And they self organise. You just have to keep them alive at a subsistence level and they'll work for basic videogame services (ships/fuel) just to keep playing. The foragers I envisage may not even have to be that smart so the forays out in the "red zone" could be entirely without atmospheric assistance. The cultists are expendable, after all.

Too many to list, but maybe the way your commando T-pose's and then clips through the doors that don't work after 5 years.

:lol:

Subtle detail? Heck yeah!

I love that after 5 years every single detail can mean something totally different to another person! Almost like nobody knows what to expect and nobody knows what's coming!

I love the subtle way that a ton of features are promised for release x.xx, and as time goes on these features are subtlety removed. Of course x.xx still comes out, but it's basically just a barely functional patch for what's already there and they still cheer because x.xx came out and all the big stuff was really promised for x.zx and you're a fool if you thought otherwise.

I love the subtle way MoMA constantly trolls even though he probably doesn't own a single thing Star Citizen, but he can get 30 pages of people going crazy because he talks about his investment, then sits back and vanishes or prods.

I love the subtle way "actual progress expected from a professional studio" has been replaced with "progress an illiterate can make with CryEngine" because instead of have expectations, people are happy if Star Citizen just doesn't loving crash for 5 minutes during an arena session with 7 people on the same "MMO" server.

I love the subtle way the Roberts constantly out themselves as either not caring, not working on, not understanding, and not being aware of anything that's happening with the product that made them millionaires while everybody just turns away and pretends to not notice.

And lastly, I love all the motion capture. All the loving motion capture! Replace code with motion capture. Replace all the gameplay mechanics with motion capture. loving motion capture people capturing motion capture so it can be an ouroboros of motion capture.

This is almost Adz Adama fan art territory, just needs a few more poorly cut and pasted CIG and RSI logos.

Don't mean to be rude but for some reason I feel like this should be captioned "popping a boner" because that's what it looks like. Unless I'm totally wrong and the box doesn't go forwards the way the box is supposed to go and actually flies vertically like the direction of the laser.

This is exactly the sort of detail an MMO is going to have. They don't do this today though because nobody ever thought "well what if we just use the high detail models we make for normal maps for everything?"

And for that, thanks you Chris Roberts. I'm confident your product will be the best thing ever because nobody ever just stopped and said "well what if we do anyway???" while stomping their foot and also not understanding what they were talking about.
