Data structure of the great game. Each blue box is a data table. Arrows show the information flows. Happiness and value performances are calculated based on decisions and scores estimated by the players (or researchers?). Upload data and select newest are generic functions needed to operate with the data.

The content of and use of the data tables is the following:

• Issues: List of decisions to be made. A user can suggest only one issue per day. For each day, the most popular issue is taken to the game.
• Actions: List of decision options to be made. A user can suggest only one action per issue. For each time point, two most popular actions are taken to the game. However, the actions in the game may change during the day, if the rank of the issues changes.
• Issue vote: List of votes for each issue. Each user can cast a single vote either for or against an issue. The number of votes a user has equals their bonuses.
• Action vote: List of votes for each action under issues. The voting system is the same as for issues.
• Decisions: List of decisions each user makes from the actions and issues on the game.
• Bonuses: List of bonuses the users have earned during the game. In the beginning, each user has 1 bonus. You can earn bonuses if your actions suggestions gets to be played (+1) or if your issues gets to be played (+5). Every time a user makes a decision, they get +0.1 bonus.
• Happiness: Users' opinions about how much happiness an action brings to their own group.
• Values: Users' opinions about how much value an action brings to a selected group.
• Users: List of users' groups (i.e. to which group each user identifies themselves).

The functions needed are the following.

• Upload data: There is a user interface that collects the data needed and uploads it to the respective table.
• Create ovariable: for calculations, download data from a table. Find unique entries (e.g. if the user can make only one decision per day, find the user's newest decision and discard older ones. Then create an ovariable with the structure needed.

You want to find the most popular choice. First, take the last vote of each person. Then calculate the sum of results over all users. Show these popularity sums as the result of object popularity? Select the most popular row among a group defined by an index; use oapply to integrate over the index using which.max and pick that row only. Should this be a function or ovariable?

• Make a new index where You contains your answers and Crowd contains the most popular vote of everyone.
• Show cumulative scores for happiness and values along time.
  • What the scores for each action are, is only partly a matter of opinion and partly a matter of research.
• Rename terms: problem -> issue, option -> action, progress -> value
• Only pick the most popular issue for decision. However, if an issue was the most popular at some point during the day, it is still kept in the issue list.
• Only pick two main actions for decision.
• Interface for both issue and action, where the latter depends on the former.
  • Show current issues in the order of popularity.
  • Ask for new issues. Fields: issue, description, date (automatic). Keep it simple.
  • Show current issues and their actions in order of popularity.
  • Ask for new actions. Fields: action, description, date.(?) Issue is ovariable with formula issue * action. (?)
• How Bonus accumulates
  • Bonus is gathered when action is selected (1 bonus) to be voted. 5 bonus is gathered when your issue is selected.
  • This goes to Points table. The amount of points is your starting vote for your issue or action. When someone votes your issue or action you get points.
  • Person's bonus points are used as the starting point for votes.

Add a table about person's points. Add Iscore to Question vote and Ascore to Option score. When a person votes, their bonus score is used.

Interface for both issues and actions.
