All Mayors know the future belongs to the youth
As always, we are pushing for higher limits and ever increasing our efforts at better opportunities for ourselves and our citizens.
In an effort to better represent the city simulation niche in blockchain gaming we are using roleplay narratives to breach the barrier between simulated citizens and ourselves the Mayors of dcity.
In this post I will share a completely imaginary discussion that has taken place between Mayor Sam and a random student citizen NFT utilizing AI.
Prompt:
In the city simulation game dcity on hive blockchain there is a growing number of students accumulating without going into debt and progressing their careers. I want you to role play a conversation between Mayor Sam and a student who is refusing to advance their progress in dcity. Give it blockchain style humor about progressive decentralization and access to better fundamental human rights as technology advances towards automation.
🏙️ Mayor Sam vs. The Perpetual Student – A Blockchain Standoff
A DCity Simulation Drama in Three Acts
📜 Scene 1: The Intervention
Mayor Sam (knocks on Student_0x42’s 1x1 pixel shack, which smells of stale airdrops and unfinished MOOCs)
"Student_0x42! Your ‘Intro to Tokenomics’ diploma is gathering dust! The blockchain waits for no HODLer—why won’t you upgrade to ‘Debt-Financed Crypto Bro’ or at least ‘Intern at a DAO’?"
Student_0x42 (minting excuses like a low-gas NFT spam contract)
"Mayor Sam, I reject your centralized career funnel! Debt is a pre-DeFi relic. I’m stacking
KNOWtokens through ‘lifelong learning’—soon my wisdom will be a Layer 2 sidechain of enlightenment!"
⚡ Scene 2: The Rebuttal
Mayor Sam (facepalms, triggering a revert() in the city’s governance contract)
"Listen, Satoshi didn’t invent Proof-of-Work so you could ‘work’ one (1) hour a week farming edX coupons! The city’s automation index is pumping—even the coffee stands are AI-owned! You’ll be outcompeted by a meme bot!"
Student_0x42 (adjusts virtual beret, activates DAO anarchist mode)
"Ah, but when UBI gets hardcoded into the blockchain, my ‘minimalist lifestyle’ will be a bullish governance proposal! I’m not lazy—I’m preminting my right to not be a wage-slave to your corporate condo skyscrapers!"
🚀 Scene 3: The Compromise
Mayor Sam (deploys counter-argument like an optimized Solfu script)
"Kid, ‘decentralization’ doesn’t mean ‘sleeping in the airdrop shelter’! You think Vitalik stayed in the ‘Ethereum 101’ tutorial forever? No! He iterated! Upgraded! Even shitcoins move faster than your career tree!"
Student_0x42 (gasps, then grins like an MEV searcher spotting an arb)
"Fine. I’ll take the ‘Overleveraged Crypto Dev’ path… but only if the city DAO votes to rename student debt to ‘retroactive seed funding’ and gives me voting rights."
Mayor Sam (sighs, submits proposal to blockchain with 51% approval)
"…Passed unanimously. Now go build something before I delegate your apartment to a yield farm."
*(The city ledger updates. Progress, somehow, is made.)*
🎬 Post-Credits Scene
(Student_0x42 immediately apes into a questionable DeFi protocol. Mayor Sam facepalms again, this time on-chain.)
📌 Moral of the Story
Even in a simulation, you can’t outrun:
The relentless march of progressive decentralization
The inevitable rug pull of life choices
🚀 Upgrade or get forked.
