Virtual Reality

In my previous post, I postulated the preposterous idea of the NTRA developing a video game where one is put in charge of the game from the management office. Run the game as if you were in charge of the economics, the politics(mafia), the calendar, the Jockey Club...everything.

On reading this post, I started thinking that the idea might not be far off.

Screw the video game concept. Why not create the game in Second Life or whatever other virtual world is out there? If there isn't something set up already.

If economists can glean insights from a virtual bank run, in a video game, why can't the witless figureheads in racing management float a trial balloon in the virtual world and see what shakes out.

I guess the thought of being proved fatuous and de trop, isn't appealing to anyone in the management office.
