GAME ON! What are you waiting for? SUPERSTRUCT NOW! http://www.superstructgame.org

*Superstruct SEHIs (Super-Empowered Hopeful Individuals) have created an incredible variety of sites and tools that improve the functionality of the site and make it easier for everyone to play!

GETTING STARTED
There are two basic methods of participating (though once you join in and dig around, you'll find many more) - telling stories of the world of 2019, and building superstructures to collaborate on solutions.

For tips on playing, check out avantgame's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=208OA6YT29w), and the player-generated wiki page (http://superstruct.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Tips_for_playing_Superstruct).

Also, The Institute For The Future is maintaining a community outpost with useful links and guides: http://www.iftf.org/node/2333

JOINING THE COMMUNITY
There is an active group that meets in IRC chatrooms. Look here for information on joining the IRC channel: http://superstruct.wikia.com/wiki/IRC, or chat through your browser (http://tinyurl.com/ircss).

There are also chats for each superthreat:
http://tinyurl.com/ssravenous
http://tinyurl.com/ssquarantine
http://tinyurl.com/ssoutlaw
http://tinyurl.com/sspower
http://tinyurl.com/ssexile

The Facebook group has many interesting discussions: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=50607186328&ref=ts

TELLING STORIES
There are several ways to keep track of blogs and offsite stories taking place in the world of 2019:

There is a collection of links on the wiki (http://superstruct.wikia.com/wiki/Related_Links),

a Twitter that sends a message whenever a blog is updated (http://twitter.com/updates2019),

and an aggregation blog called BlogStruct (http://blogs.sstruct.com/) which follows every blog on one page.

BUILDING SUPERSTRUCTURES
For a guide to building and fleshing out a superstructure, see the section on http://superstruct.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Tips_for_playing_Superstruct.

Need help locating collaborators or specific talents? See the classified ads (http://greenblip.info/classifieds/index.php) and the Jobstruct (launching later this week).

Players are also working on a method to message all members in a superstructure, so stay tuned!
