How to Play. How to Survive and Thrive.

• Multiplayer (you and your community for your community), or

• Ultimate massively multiplayer is Thrive Endeavor (you and all of us now and future) with ultimate win of “all thrive forever”.

Mode. Choose simulation or real-life.

Players. Choose (if multiplayer) other players (non-enemy) and their role, motivation and ability. Specific abilities and motivation lead to greater success in specific roles. Choose the team well. Play as a team. Best if whole team (before and during play) helps make choices (“play”, future, path, location, time), draw play map, identify enemies and friends, and explore. Good communication is very important.

“Enemies and Friends”. Identify real-life friends who help you win. They may or may not be on your team. Identify real-life enemies who make or keep people vulnerable and/or stop people from surviving and thriving. Enemies are defeated when there remain no threats to surviving and thriving.

Path and Future. Choose path (Survive, Partial Thrive, and Full Thrive) you will take and future (Survive, Partial Thrive, and Full Thrive) you will seek. Get off Current Path to avoid losing.
