Discover the game mechanics of GCarbon Coin, where players become either villains or stewards of the jungle, learning real-world tech for conservation efforts while fighting against illegal miners, loggers & ranchers that threaten intact jungle survival.
We will take you to the edge of the Amazon where real-world struggles to preserve the jungle exist and are lived out day to day. It is the Wild West with illegal loggers, miners and ranchers carrying guns and using influence to get away with murder and mayhem. It is huge areas of indigenous jungle deforested daily. Your game is a simulation of this struggle except you will introduce new technology to stop the destruction using drones, trained guards and smart strategies. You will also play the bad guy and understand why they want to plunder and what they will do to counter your high tech policing and aggressive disabling measures.
Players that win in the jungle wars or reforesting projects earn points that can be redeemed for crypto coins when the Initial Coin Offering occurs. These coins can be sold to others or turned into carbon credits that are traded for discounts from companies wanting to be carbon neutral. The real world projects you are supporting earn real carbon credits that meet all the verification protocols while you get to support green businesses with your play. More importantly, you learn real solutions to saving the jungle that offer alternative employment options for local communities.
Players will form virtual teams with different roles to create effective jungle defense or to evade detection and disabling. The teams will discuss a strategy before engaging and learn how to use the tools, vehicles, boats, drones, weapons and defensive measures. Each step in real life such as drone surveillance, video transfer, police permission and actual disabling of boats, trucks, cattle and horses is simulated in the game. Snakes, animals, fish and reptiles add to the suspense & danger. Players pick tools strategically and win when they outsmart the team in the jungle.
Players flip from one side to another each time they play (good guys & bad guys). In the team-building stage, they can pick specific roles based on past performance or try a new role. Points are earned from illegal extraction or disabling of an operation. The game ends when certain milestones are reached by either team. The game is to "plunder or perish" and learn the real environmental impacts through game play. each with distinct abilities and challenges that align
Track your impact within the game and see how your virtual actions contribute to real-world destruction or conservation efforts. This includes a virtual count of the hectares preserved from stopping deforestation, carbon sequestration value of those hectares, water conserved from no toxins, This is balanced against the negative carbon the plunderers gain against their ability to complete a plunder (grow a cow to maturity, get the gold, cut and haul out the trees, etc.). These carbon numbers are then the basis for points and affect who wins the game.
A second game will focus on reforesting either illegally cleared indigenous jungle into fruit forests or getting ranchers to plant macauba. Players will use carbon points to plant trees, which increase in value as long as the trees survive. Players must choose seedling varieties, fertilizer, soil additives and irrigation options as well as strategies to combat disease and drought. Several types of trees can be planted either together or on their own depending on site chosen. Players win when they get to harvest the crop at high yield and earn game income = redeemable carbon coins
The game mechanics are linked to real projects to preserve jungles or reforest degraded ranchland in the Brazilian Amazon. Game players simulate the conflicts as they exist on the ground at the borders of the jungle and come up with the best strategies for shifting illegal loggers, miners and ranchers to other more sustainable livelihoods that are more profitable and creating a fail-safe system to preserve the jungle using the best available technology, strategies, and community engagement.
Players earn points by winning in jungle war games pitting those destroying the jungle against those saving it. They also earn points by planting native trees on ranchland that allow continued cattle grazing but also provide income from oil seed or fruit harvests. Points will be redeemable when there is a GCarbon Initial Coin Offering. Each GCarbon Coin will have the asset of a carbon credit embedded in the coin that through the blockchain is linked to a real carbon credit earned from jungle preservation or tree planting in the area of the games. These credits can be traded to other people on a coin trading exchange or can be traded for discounts on products or services that use the carbon credit to offset the carbon from the product or service (i.e. airline tickets, overnight packages, other products).
Yes, GCarbon game points can be redeemed for GCarbon Coins, which will have a value because they are tied to a valid tradable carbon credit that is verified through various carbon exchange systems. The carbon credits will be earned from the activities that parallel the game play activities and will be partially funded by the gamer investments in participating in the game or buying and selling GCarbon Coins.
Players will form teams that can include various roles in several different areas. In the Jungle War game, this will include drone surveillance, attack drones, jamming systems, approval people, indigenous guard trainers & village leaders. In the ranch or reforesting project games the players will be building a sustainable virtual eco-ranch that fixes all the problems with current Amazon edge ranches or that reforests an area in a protected jungle that was cut and then gets points when the trees grow without disease and at a fast rate. Various unique gameplay mechanics are still under development to make the game play exciting based on the best simulation of the real world war on the Amazon jungle.
Absolutely, the game incorporates real-world solutions to environmental challenges with renewable energy, renewable fuels and avoiding deforestation. For example, about 17% of the world's climate change impact is from deforestation and much of that is occurring along the Amazon edges. This game not only shows how to use new strategies to stop deforestation but also shows how farmers and ranchers can earn more money by using their farms and ranches more intensively, thereby reducing the need to cut down forests. Making it very hard to illegally mine or log or start fires to clear forest and creating new opportunities in the same area will allow illegal loggers, miners and ranchers to shift to legal sustainable livelihoods. The games will help show the way and help micro-fund some initiatives. The planting of macauba is also based on real-world solutions to the biggest problem with renewable fuels, feedstock. If macauba was planted on even half of the cattle grazing land in Brazil (83 million hectares) at 6 tons of oil per hectare, it could provide over 500 million MT of vegetable oil. The world supply of vegetable oil is only about 300 million MT so this would provide a huge surplus of oil for use in producing renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. This would all be done without requiring any loss of cattle grazing and in fact increasing cattle density because of shade, water and animal meal.
Teamwork is crucial; players must strategize together to have an effective team that wins in the War of the Jungle. Communication and fast actions as a team are crucial to overcome the counterparty actions and achieve the goals, whether it be preserve or plunder. While the reforestation game can be played either alone or in teams, it is meant to be a team process so people trade ideas and build their forests by learning all about the latest tech for planting, growing, harvesting and using fruits, oil seeds, new crops, new feed for cattle and various other game elements.
