Have you seen this UN game: http://www.food-force.com/ . Its a non violent 'feed the hungry' game, and people seem to dig it. I was thinking, you could make a simular kind of game for missions. Starting a Christian aid organisation, distributing food, building school, hospitals and churches.. Something like a mix between sim-city and desert-strike (without the violence).

in the game you'll have to:
- build/buy an infrastructure (buildings, ships, plains, trucks)
- build structures to help a community
- get funds
- get staff (doctors, administration, missionairies)
- setup supply chains
- coordinate aid to disaster locations
- cooperate with other aid giving organisations

As I see it, you'll get the globe first, and you'll have to choose what kind of organisation you want to be (doesn't need to be explicity, but you can't do it all). You'll get a start budget and there will be serveral things you can do. You'll also get updates on what is going on in the world etc... its quite massive.

Anyway.... maybe the next community project?

I like the idea, I think it'd make a great next community project!

I like the idea of a community project based off of this. I really want to see Bible Dave get finished up, but after that, I think this one has some good potential.

this is just a theory, but I'd like to think that anybody will let you help them with anything: provided you bring something to the table that they don't have or you are better at something.

You could maybe even make it an online game. Each round lasts for example for a couple of weeks, in which you need to set up your aid organisation and try to cooperate in batteling hunger, sickness, darkness and disasters. At the end of a round some kind of grand total is generated in which you can see how well you worked together, how much aid was given, what the quality was of that aid, and how effective the effords where. To make it a real game, you could even pick out the organisation that helped the most.
