Has this happened in your country? An important citizen is in control of an important property and then for one reason or another cannot do his or her job? This is the situation the citizens of Utopia, 42 students of Professor Erin Scholnick’s American Government class at the College of San Mateo in Northern California, are finding themselves in, will they be able to dig themselves out of this hole?
“Utopia finds itself in a ‘State of Emergency’ due to the absence of Energy Hex Owner. I propose the Gov’t take or purchase this hex and save the citizens of Utopia from starvation, homelessness, blackout conditions and a complete halt of all commerce.
Answer the poll and let’s get things back on track – we are a nation of survivors!”- Heather.P
SPEAKER OF HOUSEWingSizeL responded “Just let the Govt takeover the energy hex”
Congresswoman LilyS added, “yes .. we kind of foreshadowed this during the hex auction.. i think that energy should be run by the gov’t due this problem.. some people are not coming on and the rest of us can’t complete our goals.”
Hansel obviously feels the pressure, “The game still running and we are about to lose some lives.. I’m currently living in my own mansion… no food, no energy ugh!! I’m dying…”
Finally the government has stepped in and found a resolution that should help as soon as the citizens can trade again, “the govt now owns energy but we cant trade til the new year i think guys, im sorry, the next year will be better and we can actually play and trade fairly.”-Congresswoman Melissa
Hopefully the country of Utopia can live up to it’s name due to the quick thinking and action of it’s citizens, but what will the person who owns the Energy Hex think when he or she returns?
