Very insightful, Nick. Indeed, I have often referred to scribble (and the other games, though scribble has had the most extreme outcomes) as an experiment. I am often fascinated by the societal structures and rules that are built out of single line text messages and a 15x15 board, which you so aptly describe. I don't consider the consequences necessarily negative.
I do care about people having fun, though. Any suggestions? |
