For the Win Part 2

The second part for For the Win features the Webblies in their fight to help unionize goldfarmers around the world. It has most of the main characters working together to help create that change. Leonard, the American, has actually illegally smuggle himself across the Pacific Ocean into China help his friends and colleagues. As we talked about in class, the Webblies consists of players, activists, and workers. The activists have taken a more hands on approach in fighting back against the workshops as they take their movement within the game.
The action of the books picks up as the law enforcement in China becomes violent against the Webblies. They raided places where they could apprehend members of this group. The police rounded them up and took them to jail. In very extreme cases, they shot at the members of the Webblies. One major figure who was killed was Lu who was shot when running away with Leonard and Lie. Along with his death, there were 42 people who were killed in the shakedown at that hideout. Due to that outcome, the media picked it up and it gave some exposure to their cause. Leonard and the others caught the attention of Conner of Coca Cola Games. With the Webblies in control of the games, Conner and the company were at their mercy.
The book overall was pretty good. The unionization of goldfarmers at a global scale is a huge up taking. Since it is illegal to do so because of user agreement, it would be hard to formulate that kind of union as video game reserve the right. If this would ever happen, would it ever be successful?
