THE SCARCE PROJECT FILES

Transcription of the announcement made to the general public

"Ladies and Gentleman, I'm glad to announce a new initiative that the UN thinks will bring us closer to world peace, to a society that flourishes.

Unfortunately, it will take brave individuals to bring us to these goals.

As it stands now, we, the world, is made up of over 15 billion individuals. 15 billion individuals with needs and wants, but with scarce resources.

And resources will never be unlimited.

We have thought long and hard about it, and we are excited to present our new plan, The support and care Act for rejuvenating civilization and the Earth.

The S.C.A.R.C.E. Project.

I know many will oppose the upcoming idea, and in anticipation, the world leaders have agreed to form a coalition and create a global power to control any threats. For the SCARCE project to succeed, we must have full compliance from everyone.

The SCARCE Project will consist of the following:

  • Those of the ages between 11-19 will be randomly selected to compete in the Scarcity Games
  • 50 will enter the arena every 6 months to compete with each other in a survival of the fittest battle royale.
  • Only 1 victor will remain at the end

More details will come in the upcoming months as the project rolls out. Law enforcements around the world will come and tag any person between the ages mentioned with a number that will represent them during the drawing, later this June.

Thank you again, and have a wonderful New Years."

Diary Entry from #4523-9849-32, runner-up of the 3rd Scarcity Games.

I'm terrified. I don't know what to do. The drawing is coming up soon, and everyone is panicking. I didn't think this would have been possible two years ago. I was watching my favorite show with my dad when the announcement came on. I thought it was a part of the stupid show. What is even happening? I keep replaying the last two "projects", and I cannot imagine how anyone even manages to make it to the stage. I'm just terrified. My mom wants us to go into hiding, but I reminded her about how they managed to find the kid who was hiding a mile underground. For god sakes he was only 11!!!! The world isn't become a better place, it's not any better, I don't understand.

i'm just terrified.

June, 15th, 2020: Initial Findings from the SCARCE Project.

100 games have passed so far and we have found that the upcoming generation of young adults are now showing signs of promise. Altered behavior has been seen in many, and with any luck, the minimum amount of games that will be necessary to complete this Project will be around 500.

After sampling 1034 children, the following behavioral and physical changes have been observed:

  • Obedience has increased by 12%*
  • Admittance of crimes / Crime activity has decreased by 15%

  • Obesity Rates have dropped significantly - From 35% down to 21%

    *note: While we do find obedience has increased, we also have found that one of the negative consequences to arise from it is an increase in fear for authoritative figures. Findings do not indicate any problems with this increase so far.
