by Sebastian Benthall
Consider the following Massively Multiplier On-line Game:
- The game is strictly opt in. Nobody is forced to play the game.
- Upon joining, some set of personal details is tracked and saved by the game. Purchasing data, tax records, …hell, legal record, personal messages?
- Once per day, N players are selected at random and the data available on them are released into the public domain.
- Members can look up to see whether others are playing the game. In addition to identifying information, they can see what information a player has agreed to have tracked.
It’s the Shame or Shine Lotto! Every day, there is a chance you will be roasted or toasted for the information you’ve agreed to uncertainly share.
