What does intentional cooperative living mean to you?

What matters to you in a community? If you were to design a utopia, what would it look like? How can our community be most ethical under capitalism?

Everybody welcome!

Aliens Among Us! :o

Everyone is a member of a spaceship crew, but some subset of the players are aliens disguised as your shipmates and you have to figure out who the aliens are and boot them off the ship before they kill everyone and take over. There’s a lot of s*** talking and finger pointing. It’s a great time 😝
