Observations on forming an operational team for Armagetron. LAUNCHING TEAMWORK All of the observations about the game, player journey, tournament is great, but so what? Well, what if we do something like the equivalent of the launch in Fort? We align to one objective, we grind, and then split up to do different tasks. Form […]

Observation on the tournament based on Armagetron. 1M PLAYER COMPETITION I documented this fairly well back in 2006. Needs upgrading. Basically, 1,000,000 players who organise themselves over a few hours to determine the winning team. ‘Entry fee’ of $1, means $1 million prizemoney distributed to players (about half), admin officials for trusted servers, developers and […]

PLAYER JOURNEY Observations on getting on the grid, the player journey, for the game Armagetron. Barriers to Entry Far too many barriers to entry: join discord, learn pickup script, use defunct user to authenticate; then when joining server, authenticate — not through in-game menu but through code in chat (not console). Ideally, a new person […]

PLAYING THE GAME Observations on playing the game of Armagetron. Game Balance: Individual-Team Balance between individual and team. Because there is no ‘ball’ which introduces a certain degree of chaos, everything is exact and fully determined by players. Their skill level is phenomenal. A player likened it to fencing. There is teamwork, but it is […]

01 Fortress Gameplay 02 Player Journey UX 03 Tournament Development 04 launching globally I returned to an old game I began playing in 2006: Armagetron Advanced. Amazing. Beautiful mechanics. I thought it was the virtual equivalent to football, minimal team game with the potential of becoming as popular. A dynamic version of Go, ‘the surrounding […]

Episode 1 Impromptu Beginning A very slow start. I didn’t even know I had begun. It began as a microphone and recording test. Use headphones for full effect. Testing hook up with RSS and Mixcloud. Added this to https://www.mixcloud.com/happyseaurchin/playlists/1-to-the-n/ and created alternative podcast https://anchor.fm/happyseaurchin

Flocking Self-organising ourselves The methods for organising ourselves are not obvious, mostly because we are all institutionalised. The fact that you can read this means you have learned to read, and this has most probably be done through a schooling system. We are interested in exploring techniques which do not call for a complete break […]

I bought some lights in preparation for recordings. I also set up a projector and played around with looping the computer camera to the projector which projected on me. Very hard to get the right effect. Have a look at the experiment below. Very crude. And in this case the projection was recorded: I recorded […]

Decided to do a search on self-discipline in education, and the results were rather thin. Most were spurious analysis confirming what we know, and then plaintive recommendations. See below for three examples. ‘Results suggest that discipline infractions are associated with more negative perceptions of school climate and provide a rationale for the use of proactive […]

During my walk to get some bread this morning, I ruminated over the fact that the other participants at this Critical Realism group did not contribute to my observation, and in fact the leading professor argued against it. We read this paper (the Johnson & Duberley one mentioned above), and it seemed clear to me […]

Dialogical Organisational Development Also got Dialogical Organisational Development from Wendy, which shows attempts at collaborative welfare state development in Denmark. Changes are occuring, but the question is, how deep. And the basis of the multiple-system change we are suggesting, the depth is unquestionably deep. I suspect the DOD will suffer from the same financial restrictions […]

It’s my birthday, 51, and I woke around 4 and thoughts buzzed around until I reached out to record them. Not the usual mindflow, but agitated. Disrupted. This, it appears, was my birthday gift for my 52nd year on this planet. I’m halfway through transcribing the 1.5 hour yabber, and I remember my original plan […]

The economic condition has corrupted academia thoroughly. The notion of creating a space within which people are free to pursue exploration of ‘truth’ or ‘knowledge’ for the sake of truth or knowledge, is no longer viable. Perhaps this bubble of freedom remains intact in the arts, but the financial concerns of the university as an […]

I am compiling a new introduction and structure for Confirmation Report for PhD, and hit upon the brilliant idea of inviting supervisors to help me with the initial ‘translation’ of my concepts, constructs into the linear format of ‘problem’, ‘aims & objectives’, ‘research questions’ of the Confirmation Report. No can do. Back to submitting my […]

Believe in Love We individually possess the power to grow one or the other: shoots of peace, or weeds of war. And if any one of us feels we do not, then possess the humility to apologise and trust those who hold that power for us that we may one day reclaim it. Get Started […]

I like approaching a thing for the first time. Fresh, beginner mind, sensitive to novelty. It is a little challenging to return to ABC State, which is embedded in the structure I chose for the Confirmation Report. I think I have got a nice attitude towards a simpler presentation, however as I look into it, […]

Right, first day back to searching for references. Nightmare. I absolutely detest the level of unnecessary complicatedness. Makes me sick! Why on earth anyone would like to be an academic. If it isn’t the joy of conceptual movement, perhaps operating some complex machinery of research, it can’t be the nightmare of using such ugly tools. […]

Paths Ahead I can see three paths ahead. I’ve only got 5 months to complete. And because it takes a month to sort things out and give two weeks for people to review, realistically this is 4 months. 01 ABC State Extract material relating to ABC State. Use material for Reflexive Reading which applies to […]
