If your answer is 'yes' then add your thoughts on what we apply with, and what you can do to get the proposal in by the deadline: 31st July

Key points to address in the application would be
"celebrate the spirit that inspired the Ground" As Geodecity is a new pioneering movement it can bring some of that fresh pioneering spirit to the the site of a old pionneering ground.
Some kind of land ownership issues could be adressed as Geodecity does not have any. Taking some land in the town for the day
"seafront and beach also encouraged" I would like to work with this location.
I would like to build something temporary while we are there, claim some land put up a flag, a dome dare I say it.
Simplify.
This does not really add up to what we would do when we are there though
If we followed the Event model we could be looking for those who still possess this pioneering spirit and get them to become Geodecians, they could then spend some time with us hopefully.

Although I think this is the better of the opportunities I do not have any time to contribute to the proposal before the deadline. I am unsure if this means I should vote for or against putting something in to the opp – I have a reluctance to be voting for things that create additional work which I cannot take a share of.
I guess count me as a vote for if others are happy to do the work.
Sorry this is a vague answer, but it is the best one I've got (and I figure better than silence).

so far and so so unperfected but liking it thus far... Thought before we edit this: if A4 not enough space could put more on wiki with web addy as could use to develop history / other events / my novel tie in from whatever happens with the application. For this reason I’ve not written a full legend as we’d need to edit it as it stands anyway (text can also be shrunk, larger text was just to aid editing). Apologies its not brilliant, I’ve had very little time to work on it, hope you guys can BTW Tiskarma is an anagram of Tamarisk which relates to America Ground writings of the past and Alternation references an idea in Danny Wallace’s show ‘How to start your own country’ about starting a new country surprisingly enough. See www.citizensrequired.com/unit/site/index.shtmlSome bits no longer active, RaymondHuxley became a citizen of Lovely and did the surveys there on 30.07.09, but I digress, back to America Ground… When, as the elders had foreseen, the cities fell and the great Storm of Samsara crumbled the fragile shorelines of the failed world into the ravaging oceans that were eager to swallow them up, Geodecity was born. As the ricocheting rainfall echoed back off everything it was rewriting, the stirring mud and broken landmasses began their migration into the unknown. Many hit obstacles which became their opportunities, for such remnants formed banks or islands as their shingle and other debris, memories of what they once were, began to reassemble in their new realities. The old structures of society collapsed along with the coastlines. Many of the failed world’s recently displaced joined its already dispossessed, those at the foundations of its pyramid and those pulled crashing to the ground from their previous positions of power nearer its peak, all joining the ‘exodus to utopia’ as what was left of the media optimistically described it. This other mass movement was in motion, the pioneers of the Geodecity Project, taking advantage of the falling reign of the fading elites. Domes were hastily assembled from whatever materials they could lay their hands on. There were no owners, no rents, no mortgages, no hostels or hotels. Just homes and settlements. However this utopia revealed its vulnerabilities early on, as was most evident at Tiskarma, a large starfish-shaped island in the Alternation region, the heart of this new world. Over 3,000 pioneers had nurtured a thriving community here when the question of ownership started the disputes. Those that had hung on to power back in what little was left of the failed world sought to claim it as theirs while its less harmonious residents began to stake their own claims. Unity was restored amongst the islanders for a while when a single ship from the old lands came to shore and declared that the island was being claimed by the Guardians, the united defensive and emergency services of the failed world, who referred to these Geodecian pioneers with the derogatory label of ‘tabard wearers’. The islanders saw them off, raising a hastily crafted flag to signify their defiance. This was only the beginning of their engaging and heartwarming story. More will be shared at the America Ground Geodecity Preunion as geodecians bring their legends, traditions and future visioning to Hastings… Raymond Merlyn Huxley, Geodecian Pioneer

cheers

btw also, I use future visioning to mean the outcome thereof rather than doing it, this last bit is most apt for improving anyway. Maybe future knowledge or something that sounds much better than future knowledge, sorry, v. tired from writing evening and day at not-failed job back in the failed world past

late thought : maybe we could act this out but as a live happening rather than a tale or sort of both, will leave with you all as brain is entering snooze mode
