Five grand is on the table, that’s $5,000!!! in a contest to Design an MMOG.
The idea, according to an article in the Washington Post, is to promote democracy with a massive multi-player online game:
a competition to develop a game that promotes international goodwill toward the United States, a kind of Voice of America for the gamer set.
