Projekt Exodus is an educational Live Action Role Playing (LARP) game and based off the 2003 version of Battlestar Galactica. February 4th and 5th are preparatory days, February 5th - 7th are game days, and February 8th is reflection day. There are 80 participants (and a fee of about €300 for each participant). The game will be played on a retired German destroyer and is even sponsored partially by the German government. It will even include custom hardware and software. A few more details about the game itself can be found here as a PDF.
The game itself will be private so players can be more free to explore, but there are pictures of some of the work they are doing.

Thanks for the information. It was a bit confusing to read the story as a future story, but that doesn't make the content less interesting.
It was not my intention to blame the editors either; when looking at the funding goal and the current status, I think they are all working voluntarily as the 3000$ soylentnews collected so far is hardly enough to cover the material/hosting costs. Clearly, they deserve our thanks and constructive criticism, but definitely no blame unless doing anything malicious.
Looking at the submission queue [soylentnews.org] however, there seem to be stories in the queue for weeks sometimes, and giving editor-rights to some of our interested regulars might help, even if each of those would only check one article a week. I'd propose requirements like
Basically this would mean everyone part of soylentnews long enough and not obviously trolling would be able to register as an editor (or peer-reviewer). Alternatively it would be interesting, but maybe harder to implement, to have a voting option for the submission pipeline: Those interested could take a look at the pending submissions and vote them up, editors could work through the list based on these votes.
