Principles (Bonk and Dennen)




International Serious Games Event   Birmingham, UK, June 5th & 6th, 2006
   Join an existing group of at least 4
       Leadership                                 members. After gaining their trust and
                                                  loyalty, persuade the group to hunt at a
      Training (as                                different spot.

      imagined by                                Start a group, and then get the group to
                                                  a designated location deep within a
                                                  level-appropriate dungeon to get a drop
       Nick Yee*)                                 from a specific mob.
                                                 The leader of a guild that is about to
                                                  fracture over a long-standing issue has
                                                  just stepped down from the position.
                                                  Keep this leaderless guild together while
                                                  keeping attrition to a minimum.
                                                 Create a guild of at least 50 active
                                                  members with a weekly attrition of not

To                 Will online games/virtual
                 ponder…                worlds become
                                        mainstream activities?
                                       Will we all inhabit a variety
                                        of worlds?
                                       Will we sign up for lifelong
                                        learning? Like sports, will
                                        online games be not only
                                        fun but good for us, too?
                                       Might our educational
                                        systems develop an
                                        appreciation for informal,
                                        collateral learning?
