Great catch, João!

The full extent of what happens on the negotiated imaginations is the stuff of true Psychologigcal or Sociological studies but that doesn’t mean that we designers shouldn’t lay some the rules of interaction (meaning “negotiation”) between players in a given game.

I always missed that kind of clear speaking on any given game text but it always felt like something unconscious. Now that it has been brought to the forefront I hope the next wave of games consider it and start being built with those in mind.

And also, thank you, I like theory as any other eager to learn gamer but you really make easy for me to read about the real juicy stuff on the web. ;)
