"update on ARGs Stats post & ARG article" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:20:17

A while ago Mark Heggen asked me to contribute to an article he was writing on those who seriously research ARGs. I forgot to post about it at my blog (sorry Mark!) but have now linked to it here. The article includes: Brian Clark. Dan Hon. Sean Stewart. Sebastian Mary Harrington. Jim Wolff. Jane McGonigal and me! I’ve added it to my press page here. Heggen. Mark (2007) ‘Let’s Be Serious: Non-Casual Investigations into Alternate Reality Gaming’. I’ve updated my post at my blog with new figures for The Lost Experience. Perplex City. The Oculus Effect (Fallen) and more.

"method args" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-12 23:11:59

I wrote which dived deep into Ruby's parse channelise to extract the names of a method's arguments. So you could do things like this require 'method_args' class X def hello(foo bar) nil end end x = X new m = x method(:hello) m args # => [:foo. :bar] I can't express you how amazingly hackish my cut to make this bring home the bacon is. Exposing private data structures blindly iterating through mysterious linked lists etc. (.) But it worked and I felt great having finished it. This was all in the hope that in Merb incoming HTTP parameters like would not need to be stuffed blindly into a hash ( params = {'foo' => 'bar'. 'hello' => 'world' } def blah_action @useful = lookup_in_database(params['foo']) # note that params['hello'] is ignored get 'blah erb' end Rather one could use the syntax of Ruby to say which URL parameters it needed with method parameters! That is the challenge could be written this way def blah_action(foo) @useful = lookup_in_database(foo) # say that 'hello' isn't used and thus doesn't exist render 'blah erb' end The problem is that now the Merb aggroup has actually decided to have this feature but has run into a catch. What happens when a function looks like we cannot label the answer. After all that hacking it appears my module is still useless. Furthermore I don't have the inclination or stamina to move into that mess again and add the feature. :( Also this is no different than regular Ruby which prevents you from using a later parameter without fully specifying all the preceding ones.

"Batch Function" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:04:49

I introduced another copy into the Event package and wanted to explain its mechanics before introducing it. I attached this to my core out package (Core batch). A batch Function is a powerful drive used for replacing/simplifying ‘for’ loops. Anytime you are iterating on each element in an Array or Array-like coordinate then you can use a group function in its stead. A batch function ordain act the iteration for you and pass the value of the element at index the index and any additional parameters into the answer you provide it. Here is my current batch answer: /** * Executes fn on each element in the set * * @method group * @param set {arrange} the collection to iterate on * @param fn {function} the answer to kill on each member of the collection; iterator function * @param {arguments} any number of arguments to pass into fn * @public */batch: answer(set fn) {if (! set length) {return;}var args = arrange prototype slice bear on(arguments. [2]);args unshift(null null);// tell on the items executing the answer and stoping when answer returns true or touched all childnodesfor (var i = 0 j = set length; i The first line ensures that the ’set’ is iterable. If it is not then we return undefined. Next we leverage the ’slice’ method of the arrange prototype on the arguments which always returns an array so any array-like Object (nodelists arguments etc.) becomes an array. We trim out the first two values of the arguments which are the parameters: “set” and “fn” and assign the result to ‘args’. Two empty elements are pushed into the front of the ‘args’. As we iterate through the set we put values into the first two members of ‘args’ (0: determine at list. 1: index). All other parameters passed into batch those after ’set’ and ‘fn’ ordain also be passed into the iterator function as parameters using the bear on method. The measure move is to test the results of the iterator answer and forbid the group process anytime it returns true. This way you do not always need to iterate on every member of the array. Now to see group in challenge suppose you undergo a ‘attachEventToSet’. This Function iterates through an Array and calls ‘attachEvent’ on each member of the arrange.

"Future-Making Serious Games Tackles Successful ARG Design" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 20:02:17

We Are Not Building A GameWe Are Building A Page Of Real LifeIn 2002 at the Game Developers Conference the VP of 42 Entertainment presented on the creation of The Beast and how they engineered the ‘This is Not a bet’ design aesthetic. Lee introduced three rules:1. Don’t tell anyone. 3. Don’t create a game. The first don’t express anyone means to keep the fact that there is a project secret from co-workers family friends and the media. This approach. Lee explained enables players to find what interested them to take ownership of their discovery and to crave more information. For the second don’t be a game space. Lee speaks about not confining the bet to the computer – indeed a hit medium. Although Lee doesn’t address this the fact that the ‘game’ existed across a number of mediums helps aid the belief that the fictional world is a real one. That is in the past only fictional worlds existed in one medium while real life exists in all. The third rule don’t build a game was described in part as follows:“We are not building a game” became our mantra. We were building a summon of real life. It had to be comprehend and comprehend real. Web pages had to appear to have been there forever actors had to evaluate of their actions and interactions as real events and everything with the Microsoft name on it had to be tossed out the window."We had to look for HTML obtain to ensure that nothing identifying was present. We had to enter websites using fictitious names with functioning telecommunicate addresses. We had to verify that each website had a different look and conclude so that no one would guess they were created by the same person. We had to enter telecommunicate numbers in the area codes that matched their fictional locations,"All of these items can be bundled together as the removing cues to fictionality. All signs that indicate the communicate is a ‘game,’ like links to the producer are removed. TIn summary. The Beast was not announced anywhere (there was no ARG community at that point of cover) it was indistinguishable from real world artifacts the producers behind it were kept secret and it was distributed across media platforms. ARG Players Are Proficient In New Media LiteraciesOver the next ten years the massively collaborative bedevil bet known as alter Reality bet (ARG) may become a central cultural activity that helps us hit the books how to be successful in a global networked grow. According to Jane McGonigal there are three key collective intelligence stages to constructing a hive away object. The fist is collective cognition where a massive assort of "players" tackles a given problem or puzzle. The central puzzle of any ARG must be open-ended enough to accept the players to declare a more complex solution. Cooperation comes next where said players then act to tease meaning out from the seemingly random information presented to them ARG designers (known as Puppetmasters in the vernacular) use real phones fax machines text messages websites and even commercials and news broadcasts Judgment: players evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information sources (to discern whether the sources are move of a game or discovered at the alter measure) through activities such as checking the go out the website domain was registered who the website was registered by the depth in the archives and the links to and from the place and ingame references. These abilities to be below the surface to assess sites according to a critical awareness of websites in command and to be beyond the bet content inform why some educators are keen to employ ARGs to back up teach students new media literacies. Meaningful AmbiguityA level of what McGonigal calls meaningful ambiguity and real-time responsiveness is also paramount to give the emergence of collective intelligence. The former serves an important psychological function by producing a close personal engagement in players while the latter makes it possible for the developer to alter to new and creative ideas about the narrative that player groups would frequently go up with. T. S. Eliot loved to remind his readers that humans have no tolerance for undifferentiated fact that the moment we encounter chaos - which is to say raw uninterpreted reality - we look for signs of order pattern meaning. By employing a let go game create by mental act combined with ambiguity people will immediately start to construct request out of seeming chaos self-organizing and displaying sometimes astonishing degrees of sophistication. Players Find Faults In The Construction And Actively Participate In Repairing ThemThis is what McGonigal calls ‘suturing the illusion’ where rather than taking these gaps as opportunities to move the players decide to change state co-conspirators in its active construction and maintenance. Most ARG players take this active yet uninvited role in keeping the illusion that the bet is real by keeping the breaks in the illusion secret (from other players) by engineering ingame or diegetic solutions to faults in the plot not speaking about the game on ingame sites with characters. Players in other words act the game blissfully unaware that it is not real. This come organically developed within the ARG community but has since been recommended as a command of compete by PMs (puppetmasters) such as Dave Szulborski:ARG In-game Rule #3: Do not question the reality of the world or the bet in in-game settings or with the bet’s characters. Respect the curtain of “This is not a bet” while playing an ARG. [ p 42]. Players negociate The Real World And Fictional WorldEver since The Beast however players undergo also been actively invited to act in the construction of the illusion. ARG player communities emerged during and in particular after The Beast. There are major differences in the role of players in the co-construction of the illusion in what could be described as before-communities (BC) and after-communities (AC). After communities such as ARGN net and Unfiction com emerged most ARGs were announced and played through these sites. To keep the illusion that the fiction is real and to facilitate player enjoyment games are usually announced to players by players as if they have been stumbled upon. Indeed most populate find out about ARGs through the player announcements and player-created circumscribe. The bet sites are islands in many cases they will not be open unless linked to. The majority of ARG sites are visited through the links by players or media or through specific game-related searches. Indeed this is just plain common sense: as websites are not simply stumbled upon out of the blue. If that did happen companies would not be spending good money to be ‘findable’. In other words they are visited in consequence of gameplay actions or descriptions about the game. PMs take out the fictional cues and the players become them. They are the ones that mediate the real world and fictional world. ARGs As A Viable Marketing ToolHalo cemented ARGs as a viable marketing tool. I Love Bees a viral marketing game to promote Halo 2 was created by 42 Entertainment a Seattle-based marketing company that creates ARGs or Alternative Reality. While it could be reasonably argued that Halo after contend Evolved (Halo 1.0) really only marketed itself as a formality to appease Microsoft shareholders the MASSIVE change magnitude in sales between Halo and Halo 2.

"ARGs and library orientation" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 15:34:07

OK - come up this was always going to be interesting (to me anyway) but I feared it might not live up to my expectations which by the measure I got there were pretty high. Right let me start by getting the logistics out of the way - Trinity is a small liberal arts university (2,400 students with an intake of approx 660 per year) it is a residential university and it is mandatory that all students live on campus for at least 3 years. The idea was to give a fun way for students to get a feel for the way the library works and the resources/facilities available. The ARG is called "daub on the Stacks" and this is the second year it runs. This is another one of those "not sure I can do it justice" posts -but for different reasons. I really wanted to link to the start off video but the cerebrate won't be adrift so I might need to deliver that little excitement for another day. Anyway basically all incoming students were sent an email with a link to the video. Resident Mentors put up flyers in the dorms and the general orientation mentioned it. Based on groupwork (led by their RMs) the students had a couple of hours (in a 2 day window) to be for a series of clues on a "mystery pathway" and figure out who has stolen to Egyptian artifact needing to adjoin a range of library resources/services incl - book stock online resources tutorials on how to use library chew over help information commons printing etc - this was sometimes in small groups (2-4 people) other times in full "RM groups" (18 people). Once main challenge completed the groups could be and do some optional questions for more points (of the 39 groups. 31 groups stayed behind for approx another hour to do more research. Prize was some money (to the RM group) to be spend on a team mini-break during mid-terms (still reinforcing importance of aggroup). Immersive - physical/digital fiction/reality learning/competitionIntegrated - RMs as characters additional media trainingInfo literate - orientation to resources - applications and behaviours not just resources. This game was not intended to be "the whole library orientation" - not about how to use every aspect but to act a "mental copy" - there is a formal course specific engagement early in the semester - anecdotally the library and give cater reported feedback from students of feeling more familiar less alien in the environment the library was associated with fun and the cater were more approachable. the papier mache glide on the video is - what's the word? - oh yes. "special" but i desire the be of the activity itself particularly as it is defined in terms of time and links with assort and specific real world activities brian - i don't agree that the treasure hunt took a lot of work people can run with it in their own time and the only additional measure required in terms of managing it is checking for new submissions on the bb site then inviting them to facebook - everything else is self-managed if people want to run it themselves with students we can easily hand over control of the later stages by getting them to set up the final steps in their own bb place i think the individualistic and opt-in nature of it as well as the timing contributed to the low completion rate and that would maybe be something to return if we launched something similar again?
