Takeaways from last assessment:
- important to build context & urgency
- installation at exhibition should situate the game within warnet culture
- cards may not be the most suitable format?
- option 1: game manual / player's handbook
- print element, places it again within copyshop / warnet context
- physical element, to counterbalance online aspect of the game
- references the tactical handbook (military, troll handbooks, counterculture manuals etc)
- option 2: text-based browser game
- brings it into the realm of videogames
- more immersive gameplay
- technically difficult (how to do multiplayer? how to incorporate into wiki?
- questions:
- how to keep the tension between chance vs choice ?
- roles of different project elements: wiki as rabbithole and input point, handbook / cards / text-based prompts as tools and the game as performance
