The Five Year April FOOLs' Day Joke/Plan starts in just Six Weeks!

Today we will make an initial attempt to sketch the outlines of our evolving plan to get 1 Billion of us to Take the RAPP. For ourselves, each other and a chance to thrive.

On April 1 2017 we will launch foolsparty.org with a press release and social media blitz attempt. These communications will be completely truthful but will likely not be perceived that way. We will explain whatever the current state of our plan is and introduce the RAPP. In addition we will do several April Fool's Day joaxes (joke/hoax -- our own neologism). Depending on whether any momentum/initial swarming has been achieved prior to April 1, we may see FOOLs' Fests, FOOLs' Walks against Marches, FOOLs' Conferences (based on the BIL model described yesterday) and an extension of April Fools Day through Monday, so you can joax your work friends. Competitions to embarrass MSM are also hoped for, to bring attention to the FOOLs' Party's birth. However small or big this year's launch goes, we are committed to either calling the whole thing a joke, or carrying on! How brave of us!

To get to 1 Billion RAPP taking FOOLs by April 1, 2022, we will need to get to 100,000 by the end of Year 1, and go exponential after that. 1 Million by 4/1/2019, 10 Million by 4/1/2020, 100 Million 2021 and One Billion by April 1, 2022.

To make it even easier to Take the RAPP, we will take a lesson from the Free State Project and allow provisional commitments. Maybe you're worried that pledging to always consider trying to reduce aggression will somehow make you a target and need to know that enough others will stand with you. The Provisional RAPP (PRAPP or RAPPP?) will be a pledge to take the RAPP when the total number of RAPP takers plus provisional RAPPsters totals 1 Billion.

The point of hijacking April FOOLs Day is that in addition to its power online, it is a beachhead into the real world where we can meet locals and help local economies with FOOLs Fests and Markets. So it can't be just one day, once per year. We will be promoting Summer FOOLs Fests, Autumn and Winter FOOLs Days and Festivals. Check out the Doo Dah Parade for an example of a silly, local economy boosting, swarm building type event:

During Year 1 we will design the FOOLs' Game. This game will run during Year 2 with teams competing for the FOOLs' Prize. The goal of the game will be to design and implement a counter/crypto economy/mutual aid society with features from Steemit, Bitshares, Peerplays, etc. Metrics for success will include, adoption rates, market caps, number of RAPPsters recruited, security, features, etc. Year 3 will involve merging the best features of the top FOOLs' Game Teams and launching the new, next generation platform.

Okay, thats enough for today. To be continued . . .
