Is the best form of collaborative storybuilding a "game" (in common sense not technical)? I'm not sure about that.

@avantgame@TheAuthorM@qh_murphy ...But why haven't I created a game for three players, one unwitting? -
@lumpleygames@avantgame Would it be possible to create a game with three unwitting players, and no active players? -
@TheAuthorM@avantgame Sure. Conceivably we're playing one now, the three of us. Who's to say otherwise? -
@lumpleygames@avantgame but it is also important to define a game within borders to be a helpful term to better understand the medium. -
@TheAuthorM@avantgame I disagree! Wherever you draw your border, it's a game designer's duty to wander capriciously and without regard. -
@lumpleygames@avantgame Can we agree that a pile of rocks is not a game (not that it can't be made into a game, but that it is not a game) -
@TheAuthorM@avantgame The products of human creativity defy such simplistic categorization. "Game" isn't rigorously definable. -
@lumpleygames@avantgame it is helpful to human understanding to know that a game is different than a cat or a book. - 8 more replies

@avantgame@TheAuthorM@qh_murphy I understand, like I say, that I'm disagreeing with a widely-held definition...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
