Focusing on global agency leads to an explosion of complex content - stories that those outside the small group of creators don't know anything about. That complexity keeps new players (and slower players) separate.<BR/><BR/>In short, it's the <I>issue</I>, not the solution.<BR/><BR/>While a computerized solution is plausible, I have huge doubts as to whether you can get the same kind of chemistry between players that you get in person. I think story-creating in person is more effective and efficient.Craig Perkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173752470581218239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11758224.post-48357525857883959312007-06-23T17:41:00.000-07:002007-06-23T17:41:00.000-07:00I can't come up with such a rule-set off the top o...I can't come up with such a rule-set off the top of my head, but I think the disparity between acclimating each stage in a given design is reminiscent of my "Conservation Of Agency" idea. In each stage, the total agency is greater than the previous stage, but the emphasis seems to shift from local to global agency. So if you have a system that is highly conducive to local agency, it'd work well for bringing players in, while one conducive to a lot of depth would be good for tight-knit hardcore cadres.<BR/><BR/>I think this problem can be mitigated somewhat with the computer, because you can design an interface to be transparent and implicative, and people can sort of go at their own pace, given adequete balance, Montessori style. Its like a free market approach.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614962832390315553noreply@blogger.com
