The military asked gamers to help in the fight against Somali pirates

The first question that may arise when reading the title: "What do gamers have to do with it?". US Navy specialists believe that it is gamers who will help corporations in the international community cope with pirates, since players who are adept at strategies and various MMORPGs will help develop a new method of dealing with Somalis. It seems that the military does not succeed in this struggle, the ships continue to seize, and the pirates continue to receive money. Of course, the military will not ask for advice from gamers on forums or other resources; in order to be introduced to the problem, a special multiplayer online game is created for gamers.

This toy will be called Massive Multiplayer Online War Game Leveraging the Internet ( MMOWGLI ). The launch of the game was to occur on Monday, but something did not grow together there, and the opening of the game was postponed for several days. The US Navy is promised that the launch will happen this month. By the way, one of the reasons that the launch was postponed - a very large number of people willing to participate in this game, apparently, the resources allocated to the emulation of the game world, will not withstand the influx of all volunteers.

The military expects that all project participants will be able to develop a common strategy to combat pirates, proposing new ideas. In addition, each participant in the action will have to make an assumption about what particular risks threaten the conduct of a particular action at sea. Project participants will be able to vote for each other's ideas, make corrections, expand and refine them. As a result, a certain circle of ideas will be formed that can be used in real conditions.

It is worth noting that the game is divided into three rounds, each of which will take about a week. After this period, the gaming system will process all the ideas, giving the whole array a more or less understandable form.

Yes, lovers to run and shoot here, probably will not be very interesting. But fans of group discussions in a game form will be able to get a lot of pleasure.

The site of the game itself has already been mentioned above, but for every fireman I will indicate it again .
