The game never had an official name. We called it "the Thanksgiving game" and never got much further. :) Unfortunately, the island it was on in Second Life has since been bulldozed.
Are you interested in playing it? We could always consider rebuilding it...

what is this game called?

For the sake of argument -- the Pilgrims DID know about winmill power. They had spent time in Holland before traveling to North America.
They landed around 1620 and the first windmill was clearly in operation by 1688 (and possibly many years before that... I've seen conflicting information on this.)
So, technically, the Pilgrims built a windmill... it just took some time... and maybe a generation or two. :)

I am also still impressed with how well this turned out - a dynamic and detailed piece of machinima. If you'd like to check out the project in Second Life, go to:

Nice! Not only does it look like you did good work on the simulation, but it's a very well-done video presentation. Nice work on both.

This is a GREAT video. Wonderful use of Second Life.
Since this is aimed at students, I would however express concern about the use of a windmill (and the style of the windmill). Historic accuracy is VITAL for educational videos.
Does anyone have historic evidence supporting the use of wind power at Plymouth Colony?

Great question sgusom - the simulation traces the settlement past the original Plymouth Colony settlement- extending into topics like the establishment of a national holiday & the early growth of agriculture in the US. Its a fairly abstract presentation of facts & information spread over four 'micro' islands each themed around concepts (Why they left England, The landing & impact of climate, Interaction and communication with native Americans, & early American agrarian growth / Thanksgiving.
