Play

The Play party (Latiki) was founded around the year 4127 by Pabaps fighting the #Leapers' occupation government which had invaded them about twenty years earlier. Its leadership was entirely female, and adult males were not allowed to participate or even to attend meetings of the party elites. However, they did not advance women's rights, but rather children's rights: the civilian population in 4127 was more than 80% children, and of these, more than half were under the age of six.

The Play party platform was focused on child care and children's issues generally, as there was little time for anything else.

1. Gender roles: Players supported strict gender roles; all adult males were required to serve in the military, and all adult females were required to care for children, with attention first for their own children and then for the many orphans who lived in Paba.
2. School': Child labor was abolished; Player children simply refused to work. The Play party promised a school system would soon be built, to replace the schools destroyed by AlphaLeap, but only after they had won their war.

   Intuition: Because neither the children nor the women in their party had been allowed an education, Players relied on their emotions to make decisions on party policy, and therefore most decisions were made by large groups of women rather than by single people.

3. Food supply: Neither women nor children were allowed to work on farms, so Paba's farmland simply went to waste as Pabaps turned to the sea to feed themselves. All fishing was done by children, since women were consumed with the duties of child care. Although one group of Leaper adults volunteered to help the children who lacked the skills to fish successfully, the children believed they were being tricked, and therefore the Play party banned all adults from the seashore. All restaurants were closed, and families were told to cook their fish on their own.
