Be careful that the decipheringtask is kept short so it is not off-puttingly time-consuming or boring.
Another very good tip. I made a telegram-decoding puzzle as part of a game and even 30 or 40 letters really killed the momentum of the players. 20 or less is probably ideal.
But maybe all of these are part of a deeper phenomenon… time acceleration.
That's an interesting phrase. Time goes at its own pace. It doesn't accelerate. It's us who try to fit in more and more inn the same space of time such that it feels like going faster. We have to watch Game Of Thrones to keep up with the Joneses. Or know about the latest happenings in social media to appear well informed. And all of this while rest of the life needs to be lived anyway.
molly's game
Please consider only 5 games, because the ''Trunk flexion" game didn't work at the time, even if it was accessible on Jintronix.
Really sucks if they don't give us our money back for this game.
I am having the same problem... Contacted Nintendo support and they said they cannot guarantee that I will be able to get a refund for this game that doesn't work.
better sales and marketing skills, rather than who has the better content to offer
Good point. So most of subscription payment go to marketing and sale rather than content.
The example cases are mobile game. Ton of cash send into marketing and drive install, while the game itself is crappy.
This suggests that categories with high replay value—like music and game platforms—are most susceptible to concentration among a few mega-hits. To create a more equitable creator ecosystem, platforms can direct users to content types where there’s greater appeal in experiencing a wide array of content.

Its called the Dunning-Kruger effect
The Dunning-Kruger effect is undoubtedly important, but since stupidity has always existed, this doesn't explain why the problem has become worse in recent years.
I think David Riesman hinted at it in his 1959 The Lonely Crowed. Specifically, the transition from a production-oriented economy to a consumption-oriented one has increased the distance between personal experience and expertise that has consequences.
Once there were many workers whose jobs involved listening to and excepting expert guidance. An auto mechanic knew the wrong kind of oil would ruin an engine; a railroad worker knew some steels work better as rails in difference circumstances; a seamstress knew there were important differences between different thread materials. They received expert advice, and saw what happened when it was ignored.
The vast majority of expertise can be denied without any consequence at all to the individual. Even when there are consequences -- such as with the brain-surgeon example from the article -- the denying individual isn't likely to learn any lesson. Honestly, how often can a patient actually see the consequence of that doctor's advice, when alternative narratives are pervasive?
This is a large part of a more general trend towards individualized epistemology, based on each individual's tribal affiliations and social identification.
Education could overcome it, but that requires winning the coordination game that has always crippled education.
I’m also a computer scientist, and it occurred to me that the principles needed to build planetary-scale inference-and-decision-making systems of this kind, blending computer science with statistics, and taking into account human utilities, were nowhere to be found in my education. And it occurred to me that the development of such principles — which will be needed not only in the medical domain but also in domains such as commerce, transportation and education — were at least as important as those of building AI systems that can dazzle us with their game-playing or sensorimotor skills.
This is the key point of the article.
There is an emerging field, which relies heavily on the skill one might refer to as "provenance", which is necessary to build planetary-scale inference-and-decision-making systems.
As software becomes more and more complex, it is more and moreimportant to structure it well. Well-structured software is easy to writeand to debug, and provides a collection of modules that can be reusedto reduce future programming costs. In this paper we show that two fea-tures of functional languages in particular, higher-order functions and lazyevaluation, can contribute significantly to modularity. As examples, wemanipulate lists and trees, program several numerical algorithms, and im-plement the alpha-beta heuristic (an algorithm from Artificial Intelligenceused in game-playing programs). We conclude that since modularity is thekey to successful programming, functional programming offers importantadvantages for software development
good thing
Players will just input every date they can think of, or that happens to bevisible in the room, including todays date
Totally true. I took great care in a game to remove all numbers from some posters in a room. Despite that, players often attempted to use dates that they remembered from the movies. Lesson learned.
padlock
I would suggest that "designing to a lock" or "designing to a gate" is a better formulation, since "padlock" implies very specifically a hardware lock, and a good game will often have other non-mechanical and even non-physical locking mechanisms.
Gamesmaster
There is some effort in the escape room world to try to move away from "Game Master", "Clue Master", etc. to a term without "master" in it, such as "Game Host".
Ideally 5people for a linear game
I think five is an upper bound for a fully linear game. It can be hard to construct puzzles that will actively engage that many players simultaneously, unless the puzzles themselves have parallel aspects (decoding that can be split up, research that can be done so one player is looking things up while another is using the obtained values, etc.)
the plot needs to be simple enoughto understand quickly
Another very good point. When players are having fun in a game, all but the most basic/blatant plot points can go whooshing by them without being noticed.
What’s the story? The genre? The setting?
I ask students to consider the same things when I've taught a high school escape room class. I also suggest that they should clearly identify the starting point, midpoint, and end point(s) of the game. Often they have a start and end in mind, but thinking about where players should be in the middle of a game can definitely improve the flow and coherence of the game.
Giving the participants the time and prompt to reflect on their experience as individuals and as a group willdeepen the learning, and we have given some ideas for how to achieve this in a later section.
If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend talking with Risa Puno about her design for exactly this kind of reflection in her "Privilege of Escape" piece. She devoted considerable effort (and allocated 15+ minutes of post-game time with an in-character moderator) to a guided processing of things the players experienced during the game, and how that experience reflected larger real-life issues that they might not themselves have experienced.
oucan design the game so that the players create for themselves theinformation they need to solve future puzzles as outputs of earlierpuzzles
When doing this, it is important to clue the players that they will need to save the previous puzzle solution information. If they erase a whiteboard with words they solved and then discover later they still needed them, they won't have a good experience. Providing specific places where output clearly goes, like a crossword grid or wall chart, will make it likely that the information will stay recorded through the rest of the game.
but this knowledge can’t beexpected
And it is important not to gate progress with something like access to a Morse code sheet. A player may know Morse by heart, and it is a bad thing if that knowledge lets them skip ahead in a game-breaking way. The same is true of many common ciphers- players may simply know them. In one game, I skipped a puzzle because I recognized a scene from a computer game I loved as a kid in the 80s. Obscure, but clearly not unknowable.
This is something you should make explicit in your brief for the game
A very important point. Based on previous game experience, players can easily make incorrect assumptions about what is/isn't in play as a resource.
Having the players decide whether they want to complete the missiononce they have all the information, or if they want to do somethingelse entirely is a great way to get them engaging thoughtfully with thesubject matter
This is a good idea, but must be done carefully. I've been the "Narrator" (host) quite a few times for a single-person RPG designed by Risa Puno and Avi Dobkin, called "The Quiet". In it there is a possible choice the player can make to stop their mission because it might be causing harm. However, it is presented in a way that makes it feel like giving up, and that ending of the game doesn't feel very satisfying. Escape Room players are used to pushing past obstacles and equate finishing with "winning", so a choice to abandon the original goal needs to be accompanied by the revelation of a new and equally attractive goal.
Another way to ensure that the playerscollaborate in a meaningful way is to give them each a role within the story world that comes with specificresponsibilities in game.
I've noticed that this works especially well in remote games and remote audio-only games in particular. The host is very easily able to deliver specific information to individual players via Zoom chat or similar. Agent Venture uses the "unique information" approach, while the Trapped games like Super Squad use the "you each have unique powers" approach.
We must design the game so that, for at least some of the puzzles, the whole group is at the same point inthe game needing the same puzzle to be solved, and that those puzzles – the gateway puzzles – areperhaps the ones that require the group to all work together.
Bottlenecking like this is also a good way to ensure that no one misses "wow" moments or major revelations in the plot. Fanning out to parallel, then back to linear for a bottleneck, done correctly, can accomplish both goals without being too obtrusive about it.
It is very off-putting to be told to imagine what is notthere before the game has even got going. “It is night in the deep dark woods, and you have stumbledacross a cave...” simply doesn’t fit a classroom with an hour to go to the lunch-bell.
While I agree with the concern, I think it is possible, especially in classroom settings, to ask for and receive suspension of disbelief. Small simple changes, such as turning off the lights, can help provide a transition from mundane reality to the imagined world. I think many teachers are experienced at leading their classes on fantastical journeys while the students are still in their usual classroom. Taking them to a different location is often better, of course, but I think much can be accomplished even with location constraints.
ensure we have puzzles that meet eachpreference and ensure variety in our games.
As I noted above, I think it might be helpful to distinguish between meeting preferences for reasons of enjoyment and motivation versus actually being more effective for learning simply because the puzzle style matches the players notional style. While I might be more motivated to solve a puzzle that is tactile than one that is pure logic, they both might be equally effective at helping me learn. I acknowledge that the motivation effect could end up being important, since if players lose interest they will likely not learn very much beyond "this game is boring". But the alignment of styles itself seems like an incorrect goal. I apologize if I'm not adding much there, I suspect this is all well-trodden ground in academia.
The narrative that leads the players through the game and gives them their roles and mission
In terms of design, is the designer being reminded here enough to consider what and how to introduce the Escape Room - enough info to be interesting but people can be put off by a game that is too 'worthy' or 'educational' it has to be fun - hard/challenging/frustrating fun, but fun is also part of the story that the designer has to incorporate. Even a game addressing homelessness, if anything it might be more important that the frustration element gets satisfied. I don't know if that should go here or elsewhere, but the title, the narrative, the story is also in the dosing.
Taniya Bethke, who coordinates recruitment and retention efforts for the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department, said she has experience with the cultural challenges. “There’s this dichotomy between the hippies with tie-dye T-shirts and these stereotypical rednecks wearing doe urine and camouflage,” she said. “I didn’t fit into either one of those communities.” Bethke, who took up hunting as an adult, said it wasn’t until she found a group of “hipnecks” — rural young adults who shared a commitment to sustainable food — that she felt comfortable trying it.

Summary of the article:
Spirit, he writes, is not ‘the game-master who moves the pieces on the board, but the motion of the pieces themselves’ (17); and because there is no ‘transcendent idea’ that would end that motion through its complete instantiation, history, when seen in these terms, becomes a process that cannot end. Humanity does not slowly make itself into something that it always had to be a priori, thereby reaching an appointed goal (20; a position that Dale associates with Fichte (139)); instead, it continually makes itself.

To me, golf is definitely a valid interest. Each time I play, my love for the game grows. I’m not sure why I feel like I have to justify this interest as if it is unworthy. Maybe it is because I actually enjoy it, and it is not some fabricated interest that someone would put on a college application. It is something that brings me joy and comfort. It is a game that physically and intellectually challenges me, and it has helped me grow into the person I am today.
Since I originally wrote this piece in an attempt to navigate my interests, I wanted to conclude my revisions by coming full circle and explain why I believe it is so special. I want the reader to be able to visualize what this game means to me. I did this by adding descriptive language and explaining the exact way I feel in certain scenarios.
Recently I realized that performance in golf is not a linear progression, but rather a series of ups and downs. On a journey through good rounds and bad rounds, I am constantly building on the set of skills obtained from each round that I have played before. This journey to get better never ends, and it is what keeps me coming back time after time.
One thing I wanted to highlight in this piece in my revisions is the complexity of the game. In my opinion, many people don't understand the challenges associated with playing golf. For many, it looks like an easy game for unathletic people. I wanted to express how the golf swing itself is challenging, but also the mental aspect of the game is equally as hard. This aspect is often overlooked. Your attitude entering a round is greatly indicative of how you will play. I have learned that from playing countless rounds myself, and caddying for people on countless more.
I love the ambiance that the course creates. It makes me feel like I entered a different world temporarily. Admittedly, after playing the same course a multitude of times, the effect it has on me diminishes. However, whenever playing a new course I am awestruck.
In my free write, I wrote vaguely about the reasons it interested me. That was because I ran out of time to write though. For this final product, I decided to go a little more in depth about each aspect of the game that I love. One major part I changed from my free write is when I said, "Admittedly, after playing the same course a multitude of times, the effect it has on me diminishes". This was a big change for me because to me it shows growth in my writing. I used to write towards what I thought my reader would want to hear. I would write something very cliche like, "The more I play the course the more I love it". However, over the semester I have learned to state how things actually make me feel. If I don't enjoy something, I need to express that. If something confused my thinking, I can just say that. I know that is a small example, but it is indicative of a substantial change I have made in my writing.
Whenever I am asked about my interests, I always hesitate. I want to respond with some intellectual passion I’ve been working on for my whole life. The truth is, I always respond with golf.
This piece of writing originally came from a free write. It was a free write leading up to our inquiry essay research paper, and in my writing I was trying to think of a research topic. To do this, I started to write about what my interests are. I ended up just going off on a tangent about my love for golf though. I was thinking of all of the ways the game is meaningful to me, and I tried to prove why it is a valid interest of mine.

It's crazy how much this happened over a hockey game.

It reminds me of the riots that have been happening as of late, its so scary that this was over a hockey game.
Sportsriots have become commonplace
Never a good look that the sports fans can't keep mature and calm. At the end of the day it's just a game.

Smoke from a tear-gas canister haddriven thousands of hockey fans into the streets, sparking afour-hour rampage that yielded the requisite fires, shatteredwindows, looted stores, overturned cars and 137 arrests. Sportsriots have become commonplace, but the one in '55 was like noother because one of its central figures, Maurice Richard, waslike no other hockey player.
Nowadays there are sports riots all the time when a team wins a big game but they never end up as violent as the '55 riots
At every glance, the table reminds me of weekend nights playing Spoons.
In the initial draft I did not list the name of the game, and I instead just described the game. This created so much confusion since they were basically reading about why spoons are meaningful and that they were used for some different reasons other than food. So this time I added the name of the game, Spoons. By not saying that we were playing the game it made this whole seen not the clear and confusing to the reader. By clarifying that this was a game we regularly played it helped bring this scene together since they understand now that the utensils are a piece to the game. It also highlighted how COVID has affected the freshman experience since not to many freshman would regularly say that spoons are a meaningful part of their college experience. So by just saying spoons are meaningful, not the game, could be a weird thing to read.
we look for all four suits of a card. Once all four are found, that is when you strike.
This is just the goal of the game, you want to find all four suits of a card. Once you have them all you go for the spoons in the middle of the table. If you do not get a spoon, you are out. However, in my rough draft this rule was not clear. By adding this it created clarity of the context of the game. Because when this scene occurred initially, some context was there since the four cards aspect was mentioned once. However, by mentioning that you look for the four cards and then grab a spoon created a better context of how to play the second time writing this.
I have never been more at ease or calm in any other situation than times like this. It sounds hectic, but just the fact that I know I can still have these types of gatherings is very therapeutic to me. COVID has created a sense of fear in being in groups larger than 6 on campus. Knowing that when I go into the Hardey lounge, I do not need to worry about getting into trouble and it is so nice. Especially since it is so easy to get in trouble in your own dorm room, so knowing I can have more than one guest here makes it the ideal hangout spot.
Again, this whole section was new section since once this scene was over the paragraph just ended abruptly with "doing it all over again". With these addition few sentences it describes why playing Spoons is a meaningful memory to me. It honestly could have been any game, but just having that adrenaline from playing the game with all of these individuals was really refreshing to me. But more importantly I was able to meet so many people which helped me connect this whole scene back to the theme of my essay, that it is my safe space from COVID since know I can not get in trouble from the guidelines in place in there.
Udvari kicks him out of the game
this probably caused fans watching to start fighting among themselves too
Campbell fined the Habs’ star $250 and suspended him for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals, a loss
That's a big penalty. Not only do you have to fork over a fine but also cost yourself the ability to play in that game
he showed up at the Forum exhausted from moving furniture all day into his family’s new apartment — then scored five goals and added three assists, setting the NHL record for most points in a single game.
Amazing! After doing all of that I probably wouldn't have been able to get off the coach, let alone score 5 goals and three assists in ONE GAME!
The 12,023 fans brace themselves.
That is actually a pretty small stadium/arena compared to the average NHL game today
You’ve never seen a hockey player like Maurice Richard. Not Crosby. Not Gretzky. Not Orr, Beliveau, Howe. None of them had the talent, the intensity, the will to take over a game like Richard. And none of them meant to their fans what le Rocket meant to Canadien fans.
being the face of a sport puts a lot on your shoulders. People start to look at you as a idol and try to reflect your style.
“You knew — everybody knew — that the game was over right then,”
The intensity just hung in the air.
Yet Richard had a dark side. His intensity sometimes provoked violence. His tantrums had become as legendary as his goals. In an era when the game was more violent than today’s version, when players did not wear helmets or mouth guards and when they jousted more frequently with their sticks, Richard still exceeded the acceptable standards. On one occasion he knocked out New York Rangers’ tough guy Bob “Killer” Dill twice in the same game. In 1947, he broke his stick over the head of another Ranger, Bill Juzda. A month later, he clubbed the Maple Leafs’ Bill Ezinicki in the Stanley Cup finals. Opponents frequently antagonized Richard because they could count on him retaliating and they would rather see him in the penalty box than on the ice. By 1955, he had become one of the game’s most penalized players. During 18 seasons total, he was assessed 1,285 minutes in penalties.
1285 minutes in penalties is awesome and makes him seem even more badass
By 1955, Richard had scored more goals, 422, than anyone in the history of the NHL — 98 more than the next guy on the list. He had become the only player to score 50 goals in the 50-game season. He held the record for most goals in a playoff game, with five. Not only did he score often, he scored meaningful goals, when his team needed them the most, the game-winners in a record eight playoff games and more than 60 regular-season games.
Richard was definitely an icon in Hockey and literally makes everyone else look lame.
Once the officials finally subdue Richard and Laycoe, the referee, Frank Udvari, sends Laycoe to the penalty box with a five-minute major for drawing blood. When Laycoe throws a bloody towel at him, he adds 10 minutes. The punishment is worse for Richard. Udvari kicks him out of the game.
I think this is almost unfair. Richard literally got hit so hard there was a gash on his head. I would have fought too.
“Because I always try so hard to win and had my troubles in Boston, I was suspended. At playoff time, it hurts not to be in the game with the boys. However, I want to do what is good for the people of Montreal and the team. So that no further harm will be done, I would like to ask everyone to get behind the team and to help the boys win from the Rangers and Detroit. I will take my punishment and come back next year to help the club and younger players to win the Cup.” His words had a palliative effect. The next night nobody threw galoshes, nobody broke any more windows, nobody stopped streetcars.
It is nice to see that the public listened to the words that he had to say and actually acted on them instead of disregarding them and acting however they wanted.

A part of me wonders if this riot on the ice had lead to a more regulated version of hockey that had more safety measures in effect.

"Charity has been the function of the church. Now it's the team who is taking charge of the social life, visiting children in hospitals, inviting children to see a game or giving money to charity… Does that mean they have kind of a religious role?" he asked.
Very interesting parallels to what religions try to teach. The teams try to lead by example outside the game.

I like this thought process.
The game of dish is also in great renown in affairs of medicine, especially if the sick man has dreamed of it. This game is purely one of chance: they play it with six plum-stones, white on one side and black on the other, in a dish that they strike very roughly against the ground, so that the plum-stones leap up and fall, sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other.
Playing a game of chance with someone's health is a bit morbid.
Many of them hated each other with the type of passion only love can understand, as paleontologist Steven Jay Gould once observed of 1950s New York baseball.
Hockey players are different bread of people. The amount of passion they had for the game, winning, and possible separation of peoples are they reason for all of the hatred.

I'm not big into hockey, but a goal a game average is a pretty good stat sheet.
Montreal went nuts, both French and English, and with Detroit coming in for a St. Patrick's Day game at the Forum, revenge was on some fans' minds. However, nothing may have happened if Campbell hadn't made a tactical error — he showed up to the game (10 minutes late) with his secretary (future wife) and took his regular place.
This angered both the French and English community as both came together as revenge was on the fans minds
Montreal went nuts, both French and English, and with Detroit coming in for a St. Patrick's Day game at the Forum, revenge was on some fans' minds. However, nothing may have happened if Campbell hadn't made a tactical error — he showed up to the game (10 minutes late) with his secretary (future wife) and took his regular place. Les Habitants trailed 4-1 at this point as the home side had their minds on something else, and that didn't help matters either. Garbage and various fruit rained down on the NHL boss, one man raced up and smeared a tomato on Campbell, and less than a minute later a homemade tear gas bomb went off. "I have often seen Rocket Richard fill the Forum," said Dick Irvin, Jr., later the legendary Montreal play-by-play and colour man, and at that time the son of the team's coach. "But that's the first time I've ever seen him empty it." Out on the street, the largest riot since Conscription was passed in 1944 (bringing in the draft for the final year of the Second World War) broke out along a seven-block length of Rue Ste. Catherine, featuring overturned cars, smashed windows, a shot fired from somewhere and 137 arrests. CBC Radio Archive: The Richard Riot It went on most of the night with fears of a repeat a few hours later as it grew dark again — only quelled when Richard went on radio and TV, asking for calm. He would reluctantly take his punishment. Since then, larger thinkers on the Quebec scene have argued whether this was the beginning of Quebec's Quiet Revolution — officially pegged for 1960 with the election of Jean Lesage as Premier — or perhaps just the end of a time when hockey was more important than politics, as the latter began to take hold among French Canadian youth
This says how important to the people of Canada this incident was. Literally both the French and English came together because they were that angry.

Maurice Richard, left, played with a fire that made him one of hockey's all-time greats but could also land him in trouble — most dramatically in March of 1955. (The Canadian Press)0 commentsEditor's note: This is part of a series of stories remembering some of Canada's WB_wombat_top sports heroes and moments as the country marks its 150th birthday in 2017. We've also revisited the lives of baseball hall of famer Ferguson Jenkins, speed skater Gaetan Boucher, skier Nancy Greene, figure skater Barbara Ann Scott, distance runner Tom Longboat, Kentucky Derby winner Northern Dancer, sprinter Harry Jerome and auto racing's Villeneuve family. We've also explored Babe Ruth's Canadian origins. Find all of CBC Sports' Canada 150 stories here. Maurice Richard said many times that, in order to understand the events leading up to the riot of March 17, 1955 that forever bears his name, it was crucial to know how violent the National Hockey League was in those days. Sticks were high, fists flew, blood often smeared the ice, and the owners thought this was all manly and a great way to sell tickets. It's also crucial to accept that you cannot really comprehend the Richard Riot unless you lived through and knew: The power of the English seigneurs in Montreal, who many angry French believed to be modern economic descendants of New France's landowners that treated their farmers as serfs before the system was abolished in 1854. How Francophone players in the NHL, almost exclusively the property of the Montreal Canadiens, believed they were more harshly treated by league president Clarence Campbell — especially Richard — when it came time to dish out suspensions and fines. How Richard himself, the Rocket, was so much a part of Quebec society that he transcended even organized religion. Red Storey, a former referee and long-time hockey commentator, once said of him that, in Quebec, "hockey was bigger than the Church, and Rocket Richard was bigger than the Pope." Roch Carrier perhaps explained it best in his famous book The Hockey Sweater. What we can know today are the basic facts. The NHL was a provincial, parochial six-team affair in 1955, featuring barely over 100 players. Many of them hated each other with the type of passion only love can understand, as paleontologist Steven Jay Gould once observed of 1950s New York baseball. Hockey's greatest player at that time was Richard, who in 1945 became the first to score 50 goals in a season (in 50 games, no less). He was a talent so large that Conn Smythe, owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, offered a million dollars to the Canadiens for him (about $10 million today). Richard's coal-black eyes glowed with defiance, danger and pure disgust for losing. At the Boston Garden on March 13, 1955, bespectacled Bruins defender Hal Laycoe had another of his endless run-ins with Richard, leaving the Habs' star cut on the head after a high stick. A brawl ensued, and the Rocket broke his CCM stick over Laycoe's back. So far, pretty normal for those days. The rest will always be disputed. Conspiracy theories Richard's story had linesman Cliff Thompson holding him back, arms pinned, while Laycoe was allowed to smack away. Rocket said he warned the linesman three times to let him go before he finally clocked the official. Laycoe's story had Thompson trying to wrestle both of them and, in order to get at the Bruins player, Richard smacked the official. Either way, Maurice Richard was in trouble. Campbell was already infuriated with the Montreal star, who had a column (Le Tour de Chapeau) ghost written for a French weekly in Montreal that regularly attacked the NHL boss (he was forced to drop it by the league), and No. 9 had already previously walloped a referee. The president really worked for the six owners, five of whom wanted the book thrown at Richard for the Boston incident. Detroit's Jack Adams knew the road to the Stanley Cup ran that year up St. Catherine Street and, earlier in the season, his forward Ted Lindsay had been dispatched for four games after punching a Toronto fan. Therefore, there was precedent. Conspiracy theories now abound, especially one that says the "hearing" with the players involved a few days later was a sham because the decision had been made. But the fact was the Rocket was suspended for the final three games of the season plus the entire Stanley Cup playoffs. 137 arrests Montreal went nuts, both French and English, and with Detroit coming in for a St. Patrick's Day game at the Forum, revenge was on some fans' minds. However, nothing may have happened if Campbell hadn't made a tactical error — he showed up to the game (10 minutes late) with his secretary (future wife) and took his regular place. Les Habitants trailed 4-1 at this point as the home side had their minds on something else, and that didn't help matters either. Garbage and various fruit rained down on the NHL boss, one man raced up and smeared a tomato on Campbell, and less than a minute later a homemade tear gas bomb went off. "I have often seen Rocket Richard fill the Forum," said Dick Irvin, Jr., later the legendary Montreal play-by-play and colour man, and at that time the son of the team's coach. "But that's the first time I've ever seen him empty it." Out on the street, the largest riot since Conscription was passed in 1944 (bringing in the draft for the final year of the Second World War) broke out along a seven-block length of Rue Ste. Catherine, featuring overturned cars, smashed windows, a shot fired from somewhere and 137 arrests. CBC Radio Archive: The Richard Riot It went on most of the night with fears of a repeat a few hours later as it grew dark again — only quelled when Richard went on radio and TV, asking for calm. He would reluctantly take his punishment. Since then, larger thinkers on the Quebec scene have argued whether this was the beginning of Quebec's Quiet Revolution — officially pegged for 1960 with the election of Jean Lesage as Premier — or perhaps just the end of a time when hockey was more important than politics, as the latter began to take hold among French Canadian youth. Millions of words have been written. Millions more will be. These final words, however, are of the sport. After the riot, the NHL began to crack down on all-out brawls (especially carrying your stick into one), though it would take another 25 years for the changes to take effect with the institution of the third-man-in rule. And the Rocket, who always refused to align himself with a political party, would lead his teammates to five straight Stanley Cup victories until retiring in the spring of 1960 with 544 regular-season goals to his credit. Unbeaten, unbowed, unrepentant — still forever proud.

I find the differences in the hockey uniforms from then until now pretty interesting.
"Up there the winters are harder yet than here, and still longer. We have only dogs to draw our sleds, fine strong dogs, but bad-tempered and often half wild, and we feed them but once a day, in the evening, on frozen fish.... Yes, there are settlements, but almost no farming; the men live by trapping and fishing ... No, I never had any difficulty with the Indians; I always got on very well with them. I know nearly all those on the Mistassini and this river, for they used to come to our place before my father died. You see he often went trapping in winter when he was not in the shanties, and one season when he was at the head of the Riviere aux Foins, quite alone, a tree that he was cutting for firewood slipped in falling, and it was the Indians who found him by chance next day, crushed and half-frozen though the weather was mild. He was in their game preserve, and they might very well have pretended not to see him and have left him to die there; but they put him on their toboggan, brought him to their camp, and looked after him. You knew my father: a rough man who often took a glass, but just in his dealings, and with a good name for doing that sort of thing himself. So when he parted with these Indians he told them to stop and see him in the spring when they would be coming down to Pointe Bleue with their furs-François Paradis of Mistassini,' said he to them, will not forget what you have done ... François Paradis.' And when they came in spring while running the river he looked after them well and every one carried away a new ax, a fine woollen blanket and tobacco for six months. Always after that they used to pay us a visit in the spring, and father had the pick of their best skins for less than the companies' buyers had to pay. When he died they treated me in the same way be cause I was his son and bore the same name, François Paradis. With more capital I could have made a good bit of money in this trade-a good bit of money."
In by "skins" is he referring to animal skins? Their only source of transportation was dog drawn sleds? What kind of dogs were these to endure such winters? Amazing how the natives were treated so poorly by colonizers and how nicely the natives care for them when they see them struggling even after how they have been treated

Have multiple formulations: One of the most common mistakes made by researchers is to hold on very closely to a particular problem formulation. They will stick closely to a particular formulation of a problem, without asking if they can achieve insights on related problems. The important thing is to be able to make some progress: if you can find a related problem, or reformulate a problem in a way that permits you to move forward, that is progress.

By 1975, leaders of 26 nations had formed the Council of Energy Resource Tribes (CERT), modeled after OPEC, to help them hire expert advisors, train their own managers, and renegotiate flawed leases. To the members of CERT, the American economy’s demand for energy imbued tribal resources with great value.

Well, I have a four-year-old at home. I absolutely love being with my son all day, but there's definitely not much stillness around here, and any extra energy is either spent on getting some freelance work done, cleaning up the house, or trying to fit in a grownup movie or game before bed.
The years took all the fight out of Janie’s face.
“As I mourn for my husband, I realize the toll he has taken on me. However, I will start from the beginning.<br> Joseph… well, Jodie. Everyone loves to call him that. It makes me cringe when I hear that name in any sort of conversation. Even uttering it myself goes against every value I was brought up with. I feel like it fuels his ego, up and up the gauge goes until it goes into the unknown realm of numbers. How many tanks does he need to burst? Lash out, scream, or relax and take it all in, what he has created. What has he created? Mayor of a town, sure, but he has created an unstable woman that isn’t sure about her next moves in life purely for his bad emotional habits. The minute I laid eyes on him, I was wrapped around his big, grotesque finger. I think he completely manipulated me from the very beginning, and knew that I was so desperate to start something new that I didn’t even notice it. That was the biggest mistake of all. I wonder what he needed me for… what he needed to boost himself to ruin me at the same time? I think he was going to go for as long as possible to try and play his little game with everyone, even you all, and get to the “top.” At this point, there is no top. We are all in this small town, many of us having nothing bigger coming for them, and will spend generations living here. Don’t you want to go out and do something else? Something that’s good for yourself? As I live here, I feel trapped. Possibly, this is purely because of him. I am sure that I would not feel trapped if I chose to live here on my own, living by my own standards and my own morals rather than being tugged on like a marionette in the window of a toy store. Some of you were puppets to Joseph, doing what he says with no say in if you wanted it or not. The humility that followed… that was the worst of all. And so I stand in front of you all saying one thing confidently. I am happy that Jodie is dead so I can live again.”
Janie set down her pen. The ink seemed to jump out of it. She touched the tip; hot with the fury inside of her. She sat there, veil on her hair draping down to her back, reading what she had written over and over. She was asked, of course, to write something for Jodie's funeral, but when she was honest with herself, she knew there was nothing more vile than to lie and commemorate him on the things he did that hurt her the most.
She picked up the paper, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash.
The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time. They sat in company with the others in other shanties, their eyes straining against crude walls and their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His. They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.

“The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time. They sat in company with the others in other shanties, their eyes straining against crude walls and their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His. They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God…”
His is a violent hand, thought Artemis, as the world below her fell under a wash of murky water. The earth trembled beneath Poseidon’s waves, which rippled violently under the frosted shine of Artemis’ moon─her patronage. She frowned, nails digging crescents into the soft flesh of her palms. It looked so cold now, she thought, raped of its tranquility; yet, here she lay, alone at forest's edge, inept to do anything but watch as another town fell wreckage to the Gods’ wrath… Thunder rolled on the darkened horizon, black, all except for the occasional flash of lightning. Zeus’ bolts speared clean through the night, rupturing the fine fabric of space; it frayed open at the wounds, humming with electricity. Then, the sky─the cavernous void that Mortals so often turned to in times of trouble─exploded in a flash of purple light. Artemis gathered the splintered sky in her upturned palms and eyed it curiously. Upon its glazed surface, she found the faces of stricken mortals. Stars mapped the tears traveled down their sunken cheeks. They huddled together in tight spaces, windows rattling against the ferocity of the wind. Their eyes, wild with panic, sought out a savior. Artemis stepped forward. Suddenly, the damp grass beneath her feet gave way to peeling wood, and she found herself face-to-face with those simpering mortals. She tilted her head curiously to the side. Two men and one woman. For a moment, Artemis thought they’d noticed her. She stood firmly in front of the door separating them from the Storm. However, they looked completely past her; their attention belonged to something far in the distance. She grimaced. She’d brought them a God, yet their eyes were watching no one at all. These mortals prayed to false idols. Wasn’t that the reason the Storm was brought upon them? To punish them for their ignorance, their blatant disrespect…! Artemis sought out the anger in her heart─she, the deity who slayed men with arrows, turned deplorables into feral beasts, and traitors into constellations─but, to her surprise, turned up empty. Her anger belonged to no mortal, rather Artemis’ eyes trailed upwards towards the sole bearer of her spite. She flinched with each clap of her father’s hand. His spiteful flames engulfed the surrounding woods. The sound pierced through the wind’s wailing, like an arrow slipped clean through the breast of her bow. It scared all game miles off. “Whut we gointuh do now?” The mortal woman cried out. Artemis turned. The older woman, in spite of her dark complexion, was pale as a sheet, as she stared out into the raging Storm. Her eyes were black as the night yonder. She was shaking, mouth hung slightly ajar. Fear melted the harsh lines from her face. In a moment’s time, she’d regressed ten years, no longer the older, elegant woman of a minute ago but a girl, just shy of seventeen. Artemis found her terror beguiling─almost familiar─and so she stepped forward, hand outreached, as if to comfort the woman. She opened her mouth to speak, but- “We got tuh walk,” the tall man cut in. He swaggered over to the black-eyed woman and took her hand in his own. Artemis’ face fell. She considered disemboweling the mortal for his blatant disregard, but the black-eyed woman begged his pardon with her pitiful expression. “In all dis weather, Tea Cake?” The black-eyed woman asked. “Ah don’t b’lieve Ah could make it out de quarters…” “Oh yeah you kin!” The tall man then proceeded to hurd the woman out of the clutches of shelter and into the Storm. Artemis, begrudgingly, followed suit.
Through the thick of the fog, a man stood proud, decorated in black velvet robes, with a crown of thorns braided carefully through his graying hair. A long train of men, women, and children formed at the base of his makeshift throne─a capsized tree trunk sunk low into the surrounding marshland. Artemis felt something akin to pity while they congregated. The mortals’ clothes looked completely soaked through, pressed flush against their pale, translucent skin. They could hardly speak through the chattering of their own teeth… She’d bargained that some had attempted to return home. (All looked in need of a hot bath and some fresh clothes.) However, they’d ought to have realized such was impossible now. Slowly, the crowned figure─Hades─led them out of the sunken town. Artemis watched them go: the funeral march. For a moment, the goddess thought she’d pinpointed Tea Cake, the tall, foolish man who’d dared to venture out into that violent Storm, among the deceased. However, she didn’t bother to confirm her suspicions. She simply waited, as Hades and his fallen mortals─drowned, crushed, or swept away─sunk low into the muddied earth. Gone forever. How foolish men were, Artemis thought, as she lay in a patch of drying marshland, the remains of the Storm a blight upon her mind. All of them, bullheaded, like her father. Their precious prides always superseded their desire for self-preservation, their empathy for others… As she waited for daybreak and for Apollo’s fiery chariot to ascend upon the sky, Artemis found her thoughts unconsciously wandering back towards the mortal couple─the black-eyed woman and the tall man, Tea Cake. The way the black-eyed woman had clung to the man, even as they chose to brave the cruelty of her father’s Storm─even as the rapids threatened to pull them both under, damning them to a restless eternity in Hades’ Underworld─made Artemis absolutely certain of one thing: that woman was in love with Tea Cake. Only love, and love alone, could make a woman so foolish as to match wits with a man.
He explained: “Exploration for the sake of being able to say, ‘this is not a great game to be in’ [is important]. And when you look at the rate of success in the industry, there’s I think less than 3% or 4% of innovations actually last more than three years.

I don’t buy it. While a cutting critique of queer commodification might have been part of the idea’s nucleus, the outcome is a commodification itself, objectifying trans people as creatures of deviance, defined by their genitals and suitable only for sexualization or rejection.
This commodification is part of the universe the game is set in and showing it in the game es exactly the point to show that it's bad.
But this is a capitalist society, a capitalist system and capitalist rules.”

(A gunshot echoes. Softly. And echoes.)
The repetition of the gunshot is particularly fascinating when contextualized by this theatrical event or game. This (almost) fetish to kill “Lincoln” and relish in the saving of the South is lascivious and dark especially when commodified as a mundane or fun action. This repetition forces us to question who are the ones who “pretend” shoot and who would actually commit a murder. In a manner similar to the Balcony are we the roles we pretend and eroticize or is it all fictitious? The characters of the Balcony had a certain resonance and proclivity to the characters they chose to perform and later become. The only real distinguishing factor between role and persona was the walls of the brothel which was meant for eroticism. Are we to assume that because it’s a payed attraction, there are not people who relish in the character of John (who stand for adoration of slavery)? It becomes difficult to differentiate where the boundaries are between real and pretend. The Lesser Known Lincoln is still experiencing hearing problems and other physical effects to the toy guns; juts because they are toys and this is an attraction does not belittle the pain he experiences as a result. Just because it is a game does not mean there aren't people who carry the sentiment of wanting to shoot Lincoln
I started talking to people, and I found it wasn’t easy. They were glued to the TV screen, or thevideo game, or their food, or whatever. I found a guy who told me it was 1985. Another guy told me itwas 1993. They all claimed they hadn’t been in here very long, a few days, a few weeks at most.They didn’t really know and they didn’t care.
this doesnt seem to bother them knowing that they have spent more time then what they really think i mean woudlnt they start to question how much time they have been there for??
He had to think about it. ‘1977.’‘No,’ I said, getting a little scared. ‘Really.’‘Hey, man. Bad vibes. I got a game happening.’After that he totally ignored me

The settlement of the res-titution claims made by the Italian government against the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Getty Museum in Malibu, and the Cleveland Museum of Art and the return to Italy of looted antiquities raise ques-tions about the integrity of some museum directors and trustees – well-informed people whom one would expect to be the guardians and defenders of the past, not par-ticipants in the commercial processes which lead to its destruction.
The museum directors definitely should know and have some subject area expertise here, but likely the trustees wouldn't have. While the museum directors should educate them, the financial position the trustees have will almost always tend to drown out the better angels of the museum directors who rely on those trustees' support.
Part of the question is how to redesign the structural support underpinning the system to help ensure more ethical outcomes.

The core of the problem lies in the words “as code and design tools”.Designers need to collaborate with developers to build UX/UIs together. Yet, they work on different sources of truth, using different tools. Instead of a mutual dialog, their joint workflow becomes a broken conversation.
even though designers and developers work together, we are still in the mindset of thinking about design tools and development tools - instead of developers and designers working from the same source of truth, we are playing a game of broken telephone.

When this becomes habitual, the actual teach-ing of style is over.
This is what I'd consider the "end game" to learning grammar style. Before learning style, a writer would think through their ideas and the structures of their sentences based off of what sounds the best to the reader. It turns out that what sentence structure sounds best to the reader is not something unexplainable, but is something one can learn and study. After learning grammar style it is much easier to structure sentences properly or find out what is wrong with a sentence (double clauses, run-ons).

gatekeeper walks to the side
The gatekeeper is "intimidation". When we are approached with something knew, we all have a level of intimidation with it. In a game of pick up baseball, "will I be able to catch the ball", the level of intimidation can determine whether one chooses to even play or not. Applying for a new job, "will I deliver what they want in this interview", possibly over thinking the interview causing one to perform poorly. However, even with intimidation, one may still have determination. Even with determination one might allow intimidation to keep them stagnant, as happened to this man.

When Waddell uses such intense scenes and places them in hidden locations, he plays with the way the reader interoperates and interacts with the game. In a playthrough in which the reader never discovers the backstory, the animals seem to hold the greatest fault for the broken relationship, and the motifs that are written into main scenes providing a hidden bridge to these backstories, are unnoticed. Some scenes in which the darker nature of humans is revealed quite boldly, can even seem to be an exaggerated reaction to a different event based on what the reader has discovered. One example of this being the feeding of a classroom pet.
It's interesting that a different path can lead to a radically different meaning.

While many goods have been used as stores of value or “proto-money”, certain attributes emerged that were particularly demanded and allowed goods with these attributes to out-compete others.
this elevation of "game theory" is a red flag for me
Bitcoins fall into an entirely different category of goods, known as monetary goods, whose value is set game-theoretically. I.e., each market participant values the good based on their appraisal of whether and how much other participants will value it.
this is being presented as some kind of transcendent thing, but actually that's all money? (including gold, my good folks)
“We live in a strange world. Where all the united science tells us that we are about 11 years away from setting off an irreversible chain reaction way beyond human control that will probably be the end of our civilization as we know it. We live in a strange world where children must sacrifice their own education in order to protest against the destruction of their future. Where the people who have contributed the least to this crisis are the ones who are going to be affected the most. Where politicians say it’s too expensive to save the world, while spending trillions of euros subsidizing fossil fuels. We live in a strange world where no one dares to look beyond our current political systems even though its clear that the answers we seek will not be found within the politics of today. Where some people seem to be more concerned about the presence in school of some children than the future of humankind. Where everyone can choose their own reality and buy their own truth. Where our survival is depending on a small, rapidly disappearing carbon budget. And hardly anyone even knows it exists. We live in a strange world. Where we think we can buy or build our way out of a crisis that has been created by buying and building things. Where a football game or a film gala gets more media attention than the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. Where celebrities, film and pop-stars who have stood up against all injustices will not stand up for our environment and for climate justice because that would inflict on their right to fly around the world visiting their favorite restaurants, beaches and yoga retreats. Avoiding catastrophic climate breakdown is to do the seemingly impossible. And that is what we have to do. But here is the truth: we can’t do it without you in the audience here tonight. People see you celebrities as Gods. You influence billions of people. We need you. You can use your voice to raise awareness about this global crisis. You can help turn individuals into movements. You can help us wake up our leaders - and let them know that our house is on fire. We live in a strange world. But it’s the world that my generation has been handed. It’s the only world we’ve got. We are now standing at a crossroads in history. We are failing but we have not yet failed. We can still fix this. It's up to us.” (Thunberg 39-42).

(What I’m saying is, if I pass you a game state with a cheap stock, maybe take a look into that horse’s eyes.)
I think a casual look at the game could be quick to take fault that some moves are scripted, and perhaps they are. If play passes to you and there is a stock to be had for free…why _not_ take it? For me, it’s a distraction. The player before you likely considered the options and found the game state to be worth tempting you with that. Those free, or even cheap, stocks won’t gain you the influence in any companies that can make your personal cache more valuable.
I think I’m going with the word entangled to describe the game. Your turn options are simple, but the repercussions are not.
Certainly during the first few turns in a less developed game, you are taking more strategic gambles, and later you are more tactically choosing who will mail off their Form 1120 on time.
Ultimately, I’m an “are there tough decisions?” kind of gamer, and on that matter I’m torn. There are some turns and some positions and some situations that will play themselves. Sometimes obviously so, and sometimes after you think it out.
What vaults this well past SNCF for me (setup time aside), is the limited company choice; it prevents a feedback loop of sorts where a game devolves into running each company in the ground.

This raises questions such as, are some adolescents predisposed to addiction more likely to develop this disorder, or is it the games addicting qualities that develop this disorder? What is known is that excessive playtime is a leading cause. “… Some people develop an internet gaming disorder (IGD) due to excessive and uncontrolled gaming behaviors.” This offers a possible solution to help avoid this disorder from developing. A solution being having an adult monitor and limit their child’s game time.

Understanding the factors that promote intrinsic motivation can help you see how it works and why it can be beneficial. These factors include:Curiosity. Curiosity pushes us to explore and learn for the sole pleasure of learning and mastering.Challenge. Being challenged helps us work at a continuously optimal level work toward meaningful goals.Control. This comes from our basic desire to control what happens and make decisions that affect the outcome.Recognition. We have an innate need to be appreciated and satisfaction when our efforts are recognized and appreciated by others.Cooperation. Cooperating with others satisfies our need for belonging. We also feel personal satisfaction when we help others and work together to achieve a shared goal.Competition. Competition poses a challenge and increases the importance we place on doing well.Fantasy. Fantasy involves using mental or virtual images to stimulate your behavior. An example is a virtual game that requires you to answer a question or solve a problem to move to the next level. Some motivation apps use a similar approach

A problem arose historically which held up progress for twenty years: although we start with the assumption of three basic "simple" actions, the rules of the game say that if we want to calculate the probability amplitude for an electron to get from A to B, we must take into account all the possible ways: all possible Feynman diagrams with those endpoints.

Third, you can create value in any span of time. If we see our work as creating these intermediate packets, we can find ways to create value in any span of time, no matter how short. Productivity becomes a game of matching each available block of time (or state of mind, or mood, or energy level) with a corresponding packet that is perfectly suited to it.
The Intermediate Packet approach ensures you are delivering value after every iteration, regardless of size
You no longer need to rely on large blocks on uninterrupted time if you focus on delivering something of value at the end of each block of time.

Pablo grows the traditional Maize and beans to support his family but he also dedicates part of his land to grow non-traditional crops (mainly broccoli), as a way to make more money as it is demanded by the market and the cash helps his family and pocket. These two examples are enough to make a connection from the desire for broccoli to the different layers about the production of broccoli. First off economic relation is tackled here because Pablo grows broccoli in an attempt to make more money, this money is reimbursed into his pockets which is put toward his family and even his farm. The economic relation of getting more money is intertwined with Pablo’s desire to grow broccoli. In this article, desire is defined as a strong feeling of wanting something, and the motivation to keep on going even when needs are being satisfied. Pablo isn’t poor and is doing alright, yet he still grows broccoli and even sacrifices some land of traditional crops for broccoli. He has a desire so big that he plays a dangerous game by growing non-traditional crops that could potentially lead him to fail. Susan is also affected by desire but also ambition as she wants to live a more healthy lifestyle. She wants to eat good and in the process of this, she desires broccoli. Her health-conscious desires are linked to her ambition to eat better, her personal morals, and furthermore, as a consumer, she benefits because the market produces broccoli year-round.
This paragraph would benefit from some organizational work, in addition to the other more specific comments I've made. You switch back and forth between Pablo and Susan but the reader never gets a full picture of either one, nor how they relate to the connection you (rightly) say Benson and Fischer are making between desire and broccoli production.

What is it that Pablo is desiring here that makes this risky game worth playing?
Plus, the holidays are upon us, which means a spike in gatherings of people who do not otherwise see one another. Such get-togethers, especially if they are multigenerational, can spark more outbreaks. I take no joy in saying this, but all of this means that any gathering outside one’s existing quarantine pod should be avoided for now—especially if it is indoors. Think of it as a postponement and plan to hold it later. Better a late Christmas than an early medical catastrophe. Pods should not expand unless absolutely necessary. Order takeout instead of dining indoors. Make game night virtual. Shop in bulk, so you can do fewer trips to the store. It’s not the right time for wedding receptions or birthday parties.
There are so many good points here, but this isn't new information. People can read or hear this kind of thing, but they may be convinced the virus is a hoax or been blown out of proportion to harm Trump.

Doctors and nurses have much more expertise in managing cases even in using nonmedical interventions like proning, which can improve patients’ breathing capacity simply by positioning them facedown. Health-care workers are also practicing fortified infection-control protocols, including universal masking in medical settingsOur testing capacity has greatly expanded, and people are getting their results much more quickly. We may soon get cheaper, saliva-based rapid tests that people can administer on their own, itself a potential game changer.
Similarly good news, but long-term effects persist in some patients, I think. Again, people may see all the good news as reason to ignore social distancing and mask rules.
Pfizer and BioNTech have announced a stunning success rate in their early Phase 3 vaccine trials—if it holds up, it will be a game changer. Treatments have gotten better too. A monoclonal antibody drug—similar to what President Donald Trump and the former Governor Chris Christie received—just earned emergency-use authorization from the FDA. Dexamethasone—a cheap, generic corticosteroid—cut the death rate by a third for severe COVID-19 cases in a clinical trial.
This is really good news, but wasn't the Pfizer news just a press release from the company? There may still be a decent room to be skeptical of its efficacy or potential impact, but people generally may view it as a silver bullet.

428their role in climate change-related emissions and carbon sequestration (canadell and raupach 2008), the biodiversity they contain, and their con-tribution to rural livelihoods in developing countries. a “favorite” policy rec-ommendation for protecting forests and biodiversity is government-owned protected areas (terborgh 1999). in an effort to examine whether govern-ment ownership of protected areas is a necessary condition for improving forest density, hayes (2006) used ifri data to compare the rating of forest density (on a five-point scale) assigned to a forest by the forester or ecologist who had supervised the forest mensuration of trees, shrubs, and ground-cover in a random sample of forest plots.9of the 163 forests included in the analysis, 76 were government-owned forestslegally designated asprotected forestsand 87 were public, private, or communally owned forested lands used for a diversity of purposes. no statistical difference existed between the forest density in officially designated protected areas versus other forested areas. Gibson, Williams, and ostrom (2005) examined the monitoring behav-ior of 178 forest user groups and found a strong correlation between the level of monitoring and a forester’s assessment of forest density even when controlling for whether users were formally organized, whether the users were heavily dependent on a forest, and the level of social capital within a group.chhatre and agrawal (2008) have now examined the changes in the condition of 152 forests under diverse governance arrangements as affected by the size of the forest, collective action around forests related to improve-ment activities, size of the user group, and the dependence of local users on a forest. they found that “forests with a higher probability of regeneration are likely to be small to medium in size with low levels of subsistence depen-dence, low commercial value, high levels of local enforcement, and strong collective action for improving the quality of the forest” (ibid.: 1327). in a second major analysis, chhatre and agrawal (2009) focus on factors that affect tradeoffs and synergies between the level of carbon storage in forests and their contributions to livelihoods. they find that larger forests are more effective in enhancing both carbon and livelihoods outcomes, particularly when local communities also have high levels of rule-making autonomy.
they found that “forests with a higher probability of regeneration are likely to be small to medium in size with low levels of subsistence depen-dence, low commercial value, high levels of local enforcement, and strong collective action for improving the quality of the forest”
That's not exactly surprising giving basic game theoretic intuitions e.g. smaller => less collective action challenges, low commercial value => less incentive to cut down etc.
in cPr dilemmas where individuals do not know one another, cannot communicate effectively, and thus cannot develop agreements, norms, and sanctions, aggregate predictions derived from models of rational individuals in a noncooperative game receive substantial support. these are sparse environments and full rationality appears to be a reasonable assumption in them. (e. ostrom, Gardner, and Walker 1994: 319)
It is interesting to think of the factors that make this more of less likely e.g. larger groups will make it more likely people do not know each other; societies with high geographic mobility will make it more likely people don't know each other; strong, shared culture will make it more likely people can develop agreements, norms and sanctions and enforce them (so e.g. a common strong religion such as in New England in 17th c will make collective action easie etc).
4. are rational individUals helPlessly traPPed in social dileMMas?the classic assumptions about rational individuals facing a dichotomy of or-ganizational forms and of goods hide the potentially productive efforts of in-dividuals and groups to organize and solve social dilemmas such as the over-harvesting of common-pool resources and the underprovision of local public goods. the classic models have been used to view those who are involved in a Prisoner’s dilemma game or other social dilemmas as always trapped in the situation without capabilities to change the structure themselves. this ana-lytical step was a retrogressive step in the theories used to analyze the human condition. Whether or not the individuals who are in a situation have capaci-ties to transform the external variables affecting their own situation varies dramatically from one situation to the next. it is an empirical condition that varies from situation to situation rather than a logical universality. Public in-vestigators purposely keep prisoners separated so they cannot communicate. the users of a common-pool resource are not so limited
Basic PD is limited as it ignores everything we can do from structures to culture to address it.
So formulated I think this is less a limitation of PD than simply demonstrating the creative ways we solve basic PD - or solve coordination problems in general.
Ostrom's target here seems to be the "central plannerish" models where collective action issues must be solved by "external officials", cf her next paragraph:
When analysts perceive the human beings they model as being trapped inside perverse situations, they then assume that other human beings ex-ternal to those involved – scholars and public officials – are able to analyze 417the situation, ascertain why counterproductive outcomes are reached, and posit what changes in the rules-in-use will enable participants to improve out-comes. then, external officials are expected to impose an optimal set of rules on those individuals involved. it is assumed that the momentum for change must come from outside the situation rather than from the self-reflection and creativity of those within a situation to restructure their own patterns of interaction.
This seems to me, at least now, as somewhat of a tangential problem. The really interesting thing is simply where we can usefully investigate whether there are common factors influencing whether a group does effectively manage collective action problems (and collective resources) -- and when they don't.

The player eventually loses the majority of control in the game
It's interesting how both our works have this same theme of a loss of control
the user feels a reflection of the narrator's described loss of grasp and control.
Nice vivid description of scene and again relation to theme. Also the video is extremely helpful for getting someone who has never played the game oriented with the work.
Fast-forward a few years, and Discord is at the center of the gaming universe. It has more than 100 million monthly active users, in millions of communities for every game and player imaginable. Its largest servers have millions of members. Discord's slowly building a business around all that popularity, too, and is now undergoing a big pivot: It's pushing to turn the platform into a communication tool not just for gamers, but for everyone from study groups to sneakerheads to gardening enthusiasts. Five years in, Discord's just now realizing it may have stumbled into something like the future of the internet. Almost by accident.
Discord is a new social for gamers
DO: Figure out work preferences. To put the Silver Rule to work, you’ll want to figure out, well, what others truly like. I call these “work preferences” – the proclivities, leanings, and habits of how we all like to work. To encourage positive team morale, you’ll want to ask your team members what their work preferences are, particularly around social events, before you mandate that they all need to show up for the Friday online game activity. Start with these work preference questions: Where on the spectrum of an extrovert to introvert would you place yourself?How much social interaction do you typically enjoy at work?What’s your biggest work-related pet peeves?What does “work-life balance” mean to you? We automatically ask these Work Preference Questions and more in our Icebreakers feature in Know Your Team. Give is a shot and ask your own Work Preference Survey to your team today.

Fortnite’s monetization model is based on cosmetics: The skin your character wears; the looks of your glider and the tools you use; the way your character dances (emotes) – all of these are signaling amplifiers with different signal messages to uniquely express yourself in the game. And you have to purchase them
Julian posits that Fortnite's revenue model is also based on signalling. People buy cosmetic upgrades to their character like your tools, your skin color etc.
dents. Players designed courses around themes, such as “Give Peace a Chance,” the course that requires players to win without waging war. In each course, players downloaded a common saved game file (created with the editor), took notes on their play, took screenshots illustrating their play, and posted these notes and screenshots in the form of During-Action-Reports. Most reports followed a format of posting a short narrative to
CIV is a great example of PBL. The victory condition are determine by the style of play. At the begin of the game all conditions are likely, but player choices make some conditions more likely and other very difficult to achieve, Peace and Cultural victories are very difficult. They require a detail knowledge of the game mechanics.
I'm thinking about variable victory condition for my project as well.
viously participated in a “best of the best” activity in which players used stock editing tools to “rewrite” the rules so as to produce the most playable, accurate, well-balanced game possible. In short, they were unsatisfied with the stock game as it came “out-of-the-box” and wanted to fix it. The fact that Civ3 ships with an editor that enables players to rewrite its rules made this possible.Within a few weeks, the community gr
I would say "cheat" I'd played CIV II through NOW (CIV VI) and the only time I used that editor was to cheat the system not "fix" it.
CIV - has a high learning curve and is very rewarding in game play and cultural exposure, one mastered.
Main idea: We only care about how the agent affects our abilities to pursue different goals (our AU landscape) in the two-player game, and not how that happens. AI alignment subproblems (such as corrigibility, intent alignment, low impact, and mild optimization) are all instrumental avenues for making AIs which affect this AU landscape in specific desirable ways.

In 1958, prior to a post-season exhibition game at Yankee Stadium between teams managed by Willie Mays (National League) and Mickey Mantle (American League), Plimpton pitched against the National League. His experience was captured in the book Out of My League. (He intended to face both line-ups, but tired badly and was relieved by Ralph Houk.) Plimpton sparred for three rounds with boxing greats Archie Moore and Sugar Ray Robinson while on assignment for Sports Illustrated.[citation needed] In 1963, Plimpton attended preseason training with the Detroit Lions of the National Football League as a backup quarterback, and he ran a few plays in an intrasquad scrimmage. These events were recalled in his best-known book Paper Lion, which was later adapted into a 1968 feature film starring Alan Alda. Plimpton revisited pro football in 1971,[17] this time joining the Baltimore Colts and seeing action in an exhibition game against his previous team, the Lions. These experiences served as the basis of another football book, Mad Ducks and Bears, although much of the book dealt with the off-field escapades and observations of football friends Alex Karras ("Mad Duck") and John Gordy ("Bear").[18] Another sports book, Open Net, saw him train as an ice hockey goalie with the Boston Bruins, even playing part of a National Hockey League preseason game
This narrative shows how successful he was in his sports career. He did all kinds of things.
It would be a dereliction of duty
No, it would be precisely his duty to try to bring a whole country together. This isn't a zero sum game. No one wins if it's a game of hurting each other each election cycle.
