Q: What is #COSTLYSIGNAL ARG?
A: A costly signal is a mechanism to associate the transmission of a message with a cost as proof of commitment and sincerity, in this case the participation cost for joining a blockchain satirical political gameshow called COSTLYSIGNAL.
I'm taking inspiration from ARGs on Twitter where people act like they're an alternate reality in preparation for releasing a video game (in my case, #SCRYNET ).
Aliens came to Earth, and are trying to find the leader of Earth - they're from the Platonic realm of ideals and so the concept of having undecided rule is alien to them (as they all bow down to King Leviathan, who must never be awoken).
The story begins because Princess Autocatalytica ran away from Prince Tetrri Excludi to fuse/mate with a lowley hydrogen atom, causing the replication of it and thus the big bang.
Now her mother, the Queen of Categories comes to Earth to try to retrieve her daughters consciousness, but it is now embedded in the entire universe.
So the aliens demand to speak to our leader, to find someone to represent Earth and the Princess consciously.
They are especially concerned about the way the planet is headed to extinction and are considering aborting the universe's construction if it cannot create a COSTLYSIGNAL of survival by creating a sustainable mode of production, because they do not wish to see her daughter destroy herself: https://aeon.co/essays/why-pregnancy-is-a-biological-war-between-mother-and-baby
As the world lacks a ruler to change its course, they are conducting the
#COSTLYSIGNAL to find a ruler by having people compete by participating and creating economic plans in #SCRYNET to fit the Earth's needs and having the planet vote for #MyPlanToRuleTheWorld
SCRYNET will be built upon smallest federated wiki so even tho its a single player simulation game, you can share updates and interactive plans with other players: http://fed.wiki.org/view/smallest-federated-wiki/video.fed.wiki.org/federated-wiki-videos
