If you ever wished to be a Senator or a member of the House of Representatives, you're time has finally come.
Rocket Surgeon announced the launch of the beta version of the 3D Facebook game For the People: Fantasy Politics. Players can become the fictional 436th member of the House of Representatives.
Players can test their skills until the swearing in of the Congress in January.
The game is built with valuable inputs from people like former U.S. Senators Norm Coleman, Evan Bayh and Rudy Boschwitz, noted political strategist Joe Trippi and polling expert Jon Lerner.
"While an extremely fun game that will appeal to a wide audience from political junky to casual Facebook user, For the People: Fantasy Politics has the potential to change the relationship between elected official and constituent," CEO and Founder of Rocket Surgeon, Shel Mann, said. "We named the game 'For the People' because we want it to be a platform through which people can express their views and help us shape future game design. This unique development model ensures that this game is truly representative of the will of the people."
The developers claim that the game is made using actual voting records of real-time Congress members. This simulation uses the help of your Facebook friends to "co-sponsor your legislation; take meetings with representatives of various Special Interest Groups (SIGs); campaign for reelection; debate your opponent; and take part in daily polls to make your voice heard on real-life issues, said the press release.
