Act 1: Foundation (Weeks 1–2)
Sims Equivalent: Buying the house
What happens:
- Create project OmniToken (wraps entire adventure)
- Initialize Git repository:
/srv/lan-aisec/ - Load LAN AISec Contractor spec as blueprint
- Create initial context export (checkpoint 0)
Resources consumed: Energy 20% (planning), Budget 5% ($2,500 in tooling), Time 8 hours.

Final Thought
Like The Sims, this adventure is about:
- Clear goals with milestones
- Resource management (time, energy, budget)
- Relationship building (you + Beta Tester)
- Skill progression (DevOps to Level 10)
- Building something meaningful (Fort Knox Labs)
- Satisfaction of watching it come to life
Type: Game On.
