Conceptually, our working metaphor is that we “deal a hand” of sentence starters, though we don’t render that visual idea literally in the interface. Students “play a card,” choosing one challenge to tackle with their peer’s response. Inspired by the physical metaphor, we experimented with the notion of “scarcity”—perhaps once a sentence starter is used once, it can’t be used again, or perhaps particularly odd sentence starters appear occasionally. We can also vary the distribution of “cards” with students’ proficiency, pushing for more nuance or precision when appropriate.

Andrea celebrates this, saying “unhappy is the land that breeds no hero.” Galileo corrects him: “Unhappy is the land that needs a hero.” Well-run societies don’t need heroes, and the way to keep terrible impulses in check isn’t to dethrone antiheros and replace them with good people.

Arguably, the dominance of the psychological and hero/antihero narrative is also the reason we are having such a difficult time dealing with the current historic technology transition. So this essay is more than about one TV show with dragons.

I am not trying to suggest that the list makers don’t understand the difference in scale between leering and assault, but rather that the blurring of common (if a little sleazy) behavior and serious sexual harassment reveals a lot about how they think. For them, the world is overrun with leering monsters you have to steer around, as if in a video game.

When I click on Twitter or, say, the Asphalt 6 driving game, I have a mental orientation that says “Hey!

Here, performance in the game of baseball is related to a biological idea that organisms prefer to be in their natural habitat, where they will thrive best.

After looking into the legitimacy of how athletes performances are influenced by their surrounding, especially fans around them, I again returned to the memory of me missing that penalty kick 7 months ago. Even though I took the fault of missing the kick and think that I should have done better, I think that the presence of rival fans had enough of a psychological effect on me to influence my body to miskick that ball. This lead to my team eventually losing the game. The difference between the field behind our school when it was empty during our practices and when it was packed with fans of our school and our rivals for this Friday night game now seemed like night and day. After thinking about the personal experiences of both me and Talmage and researching studies about home field advantage in professional sports, I am now positive that home field advantage is directly related to fans off of the field and how they impact the players on the field. Thinking of the cultural and financial implications of how athletes react to fans around them, especially at home, it is not surprising that the world of sports is so focused on the idea of home field advantage.

The relations between reader/story and player/game are completely different - the player inhabits a twilight zone where he/she is both an empirical subject outside the game and undertakes a role inside the game.

So at least there's no Aegon her face. And after last night, it doesn't look like there ever will be again. (They broke up.)

Missandei, too, was failed. As one of the only two central people of colour in the entire series, her exit – her fridging, frankly – at the hands of a white woman was nothing short of woeful. She deserved so much more.

And that's not all. In 'The Last of the Starks' alone, the writers stuck two fingers up at Brienne after using her to service Jaime's internal struggle regarding his twisted devotion to Cersei. Then there was Sansa Stark's conversation with The Hound about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Ramsay Bolton, Littlefinger, and Joffrey, and the way in her suffering was, in the words of actor Jessica Chastain, used as "a tool to make a character stronger".

Following Rhaegal's death at the hands of Euron, Dany abandoned all reason to charge at him head on, endangering both herself and her last remaining dragon. Rather than attack from behind at speed, showering the fleet and their men in flames, she acted on impulse. Reason abandoned her.

That also does Jaime a disservice, implying that his love cannot possibly be as great and all-encompassing as Cersei's because she is their mother, and he is merely their father. He remains pragmatic, Cersei is deranged.

there has been one constant throughout: when women experience loss, they lose their minds.

The writing staff on Game of Thrones has always been male-dominated, with only four episodes in the show’s history being credited to female writers. Season eight is written and directed entirely by men (only one woman, Michelle MacLaren, has ever directed Thrones), although there has been at least one woman in the writer’s room, Gursimran Sandhu, this time around.

I forgave the show for its cruel treatment of Sansa a season ago, when it became clear that her story was one of survival rather than victimhood. But Thrones rarely passes up an opportunity to remind us of her rapes. It undermines a character who has refused to be beaten or defined by her suffering, especially when, in the latest episode, she credits her abuse for transforming her from a ‘little bird’ into what she is now. As Jessica Chastain pointed out on Twitter, it was Sansa and Sansa alone who transformed herself into the strong and savvy leader she is – not the men who abused and manipulated her. If the writers don’t understand that, how can we trust them to tell Sansa’s story properly?

To hear Tyrion and Varys – characters who have always been portrayed as egalitarian – say that Jon’s gender would make him a better leader than Daenerys is just depressing.

In its early years it might have lured in the typical male fantasy crowd with sex, violence and alpha-male characters like Ned and Robb Stark, Robert Baratheon and Jaime Lannister, but before you knew it a woman was on the Iron Throne, her main challenger was also a woman, and Westeros was stuffed full of female assassins, knights, wily politicos and Dame Diana Rigg.

found the best way to understand this was to put myself in their shoes. Imagine you are a professional athlete. You are supposed to be good at what you do and you do not want to fail at that. Things go well when you wear a certain shirt or when you listen to a certain song before a game. So you keep doing it to make sure you keep playing well. On the other hand, if you are playing in your towns recreational league you may have a superstition or two, but you also know how good you are. You know that you are not a world class athlete and do not have to perform at the highest level.

, Hall of Fame NHL player Wayne Gretzky always shot his first warm-up shot wide right of the goal. He has a specific action — shooting wide right — that he repeats — before every game — and that does not have a causal effect on the event — one wide right warm-up shot would not change anything

And many are more personal: someone may use the same pencil for their exams or a hockey player may wear the same shirt to every game. Yet these things do not physically change anything, so why do people do them? And what about when they do not provide someone with success:

“I am not attuned to this environment, and I don’t want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don’t understand just so I can go out a hero.”

What player do you think is most undervalued? Get him for your team. What basketball axiom is most likely to be untrue? Take it on and do the opposite. What is the biggest, least valuable time sink for the organization? Stop doing it. Otherwise, it’s a big game of pitty pat, and you’re stuck just hoping for good things to happen, rather than developing a strategy for how to make them happen

“It’s become like a thing people say when they can’t make their rent,” says Jenna, 22, a New York video-game designer. “ ‘Well, I could always just get a sugar daddy,’ ‘I guess I could just start camming,’ ” or doing sexual performances in front of a Webcam for money on sites like Chaturbate. “And it’s kind of a joke, but it’s also not because you actually could.

Game of Thrones has several plots and a large ensemble cast, but follows three story arcs. The first arc is about the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the noble dynasties either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from it.

In the first place, the Indian, when the white man came to this coun-try, lost his buffalo; and in the second place, he lost the elk and deer; and in the third place, he finds himself hard-pressed for a place to hunt even small game; and in the fourth place, he has lost this vast territory of land involving his health and bringing about a high death rate and therefore a future that is mighty gloomy, indeed.

Authorities feared a sequel to Thursday night’s rampage at Saturday’s game against the Rangers. The police took “emergency measures” in advance to prevent that.

The suspension seemed especially harsh because of its likely consequences. At the time, Richard led the league in points.

He refuses to talk to reporters who ask what happened, why the two fought,

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.

“There is no sound quite like it in the whole world of sport.”

Many see the world as some sort of game or competition.

Even organized sports teach children about mathematics, rules, teamwork, planning, and so on. Likewise, a family game like Scrabble is about linguistics, psychology, mathematics, memory, competition, and doggedness. It’s about mastering the rules.

The importance of the concept is that there is a much stronger binding to the artifact than to other resources which are just downloaded and / or used (such as a picture taken from an internet search)

You Can’t Root for Both Teams!

Most of these near clones have and will fail. The reason that matching the basic proof of work hurdle of an Status as a Service incumbent fails is that it generally duplicates the status game that already exists. By definition, if the proof of work is the same, you're not really creating a new status ladder game, and so there isn't a real compelling reason to switch when the new network really has no one in it.

graph-based social capital allocation mechanisms can suffer from runaway winner-take-all effects. In essence, some networks reward those who gain a lot of followers early on with so much added exposure that they continue to gain more followers than other users, regardless of whether they've earned it through the quality of their posts. One hypothesis on why social networks tend to lose heat at scale is that this type of old money can't be cleared out, and new money loses the incentive to play the game.

It's true that as more people join a network, more social capital is up for grabs in the aggregate. However, in general, if you come to a social network later, unless you bring incredible exogenous social capital (Taylor Swift can join any social network on the planet and collect a massive following immediately), the competition for attention is going to be more intense than it was in the beginning. Everyone has more of an understanding of how the game works so the competition is stiffer.

[An aside about exogenous social capital: you might complain that your tweets are more interesting and grammatical than those of, say, Donald Trump (you're probably right!). Or that your photos are better composed and more interesting at a deep level of photographic craft than those of Kim Kardashian. The difference is, they bring a massive supply of exogenous pre-existing social capital from another status game, the fame game, to every table, and some forms of social capital transfer quite well across platforms. Generalized fame is one of them. More specific forms of fame or talent might not retain their value as easily: you might follow Paul Krugman on Twitter, for example, but not have any interest in his Instagram account. I don't know if he has one, but I probably wouldn't follow it if he did, sorry Paul, it’s nothing personal.]

The creation of a successful status game is so mysterious that it often smacks of alchemy. For that reason, entrepreneurs who succeed in this space are thought of us a sort of shaman, perhaps because most investors are middle-aged white men who are already so high status they haven't the first idea why people would seek virtual status

Despite widespread worries about their ability to compete, Filipinos bought the theory that their farmers' lack of good transportation and high technology would be balanced out by their cheap labor. The government predicted that access to world markets would create a net gain of a half-million farming jobs a year, and improve the country's trade balance.It didn't happen. Small-scale farmers across the Philippine archipelago have discovered that their competitors in places like the United States or Europe do not simply have better seeds, fertilizers and equipment. Their products are also often protected by high tariffs, or underwritten by massive farm subsidies that make them artificially cheap. No matter how small a wage Filipino workers are willing to accept, they cannot compete with agribusinesses afloat on billions of dollars in government welfare.

— of blood, sweat and tears — will lead them to glory.They are the fans of the Montreal Canadiens.In Prof. Olivier Bauer's class at the Université de Montréal, worshippers can argue that their team is their religion."It's a divine inspiration," Bauer said of the idea behind the theology course that begins in January 2009.Two years ago, shortly after the minister moved to Montreal, he and one of his students decided the university should offer the opportunity to study whether the Canadiens are, in fact, a faith.The graduate course is open to students in all faculties and those in undergraduate programs. ((Phillip MacCallum/Getty Images))"When we learned about the 100th anniversary, we thought it was a good time to talk about the relationship between sport and religion, especially between the Habs and the religious context in Montreal and in Quebec," Bauer said.The graduate course is open to students in all faculties and those in undergraduate programs. Bauer expects to see more than his usual 10 to 20 people in the class."I hope I have enough students to make two hockey teams. Maybe enough to fit the Bell Centre," he joked.In addition to the class, Bauer has launched an essay contest asking the question, "Are the Montreal Canadiens a religion?"Submissions are due Dec. 12 and the top three essayists (determined in a "playoff round") will present their papers at a symposium on Jan. 16. Three others, including Bauer, will make presentations.Others include Denis Müller from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and the University of Winnipeg's Tom Faulkner, author of More Than a Game, Less Than a God: Canadian Hockey."I wanted to invite Don Cherry, too. I think it could be interesting.… He would probably have a lot of things to say about it," Bauer said.Jennifer Guyver, Bauer's research assistant, is helping to co-ordinate the symposium and said she was "really excited" to hear that Bauer was organizing the event, titled La Religion du Canadien or The Habs Religion.In Prof. Olivier Bauer's class, students will compare and contrast the Montreal Canadiens and other religions. ((David Sandford/Getty Images))"We really want to see what everyone wants to say.… When you have a lot of people passionate about hockey, and not about religion, it's interesting to see people's reactions to the question," she said. "If they can make connections between religion and sport, it helps get people involved; there will be a lot of diversity."In Bauer's class, students will compare and contrast the Montreal Canadiens and other religions.Bauer said he might demonstrate his neutrality on the subject by lecturing in a referee jersey.He knows the class will attract students who are unfamiliar with religious studies and says that's okay. He noted, however, it's still an academic course."We don't just want to look at some games and drink beers. You have to work, but even if you're not a theologian student you can follow the class," he said, adding that those who don't believe the team is a religion can still earn high marks.Course assignments include studying media coverage of the Canadiens, reading chapters from the book La religion du Canadien de Montréal (co-edited by Bauer and Jean-Marc Barreau), and writing essays.Bauer's book has six chapters, one of which was written by Benoît Melançon, author of the book Les Yeux de Maurice Richard (The Eyes of Maurice Richard, which will be published in English in April 2009 as The Rocket: A Cultural History of Maurice Richard).Melançon said he's pleased that Bauer is bringing attention to the topic."[Bauer] has really touched something deep in Quebec society, something that is so obvious nobody has taken the time to mention it," he said. "It really strikes something, and it's really fun too. Serious, but with some humour."Students in the class might have some fun with a pastoral activity Bauer plans to assign."Maybe invite Guy Carbonneau to speak at your church, or maybe you can create a hockey team in your church. Maybe organize a hockey tournament with different ethnic or religious communities," he said.Topics will change each week. Students will find themselves examining religious metaphors, behaviours and ethics, and drawing links between them and the Habs.Certain religious behaviours, like praying, surround the Canadiens, Bauer pointed out."The fans, they pray for two things. The first is that the Canadiens will win. The second thing is that they pray for the Canadiens to crush the Maple Leafs, but I think you don't need any God for that," he said with a laugh.Another example of religious behaviour is an expectation of sacrifice, Bauer said."You know, you have to suffer if you want to win. Jesus had to die and resurrect. That's the kind of thing we expect from our players. You must be ready to suffer in order to win or earn us some victory. You must risk everything and sweat and fight or be knocked out," he said.Other parallels can be taken from various media, Bauer said. Newspapers, for instance, have called Patrick Roy St. Patrick, and referred to Carey Price as Jesus Price.Ethics also offers an interesting study topic."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."I hope [people] will be moved by what I teach them," he said.Bauer, who is from Switzerland, has lived in France, French Polynesia and Washington, and said discovering sport has been a way to discover society."Sport is part of culture and a good way to learn about another country… To discover why people are so passionate about it, it's like, 'Tell me what your sport is and I'll tell you who you are,' " he said.CBC's Journalistic Standards and PracticesRelated Stories Montreal Forum: An event not to be missed Memories of Red, white and blue BLOG: Elliotte Friedman: Patrick Roy nearly left Montreal in a much different way Roy welcomed back to Montreal Roy, religion and the Habs

I seek to answer that question, and I have discovered both the good and bad that comes from playing video games.

For one thing, everyone who shows up to collect a creature at a location can catch a copy of that creature if they want. So players have motivation to communicate with one another and share locations of creatures, engaging in deeply collaborative rather than competitive play. Not all gamers like fierce competition, so the collaborative aspects of the game broaden its appeal. For those who do love competition, the three-team structure allows for friendly rivalry and challenge. The ease of joining a team keeps it from being exclusionary, preserving the game’s inclusive style. Because there are only three teams worldwide, there’s a lot of friendly banter online about which team is the best, adding to the fun.

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.

In Fortnite, Support-A-Creator lets a popular streamer, like Tyler “Ninja” Blevins for instance, earn $5 for every 10,000 units of in-game currency that gets spent by players who decide to pledge their support. In return, Ninja brings publicity to Fortnite by continuing to stream it daily, while the developer earns revenue from the in-game transactions. But that’s for free games like Fortnite. Sweeney says the Epic Store will now let creators get a piece of the full sale price of each paid game, too — though the amount will be up to developers. To keep devs from just setting it to $0, Epic is pledging to cover the first 5 percent of creator-revenue-sharing for the next 24 months — which could be a big incentive for big internet celebrities to plug Epic’s store
