times to enter before they fully engage with performance,

Major concerns of those who are unengaged before they enter a venue:

How do I pay, where do I go? Can I bring a friend? Am I allow here? Is this really me?

Collaboration and co-operation

How to get people to do this?

Trying to get to a consensus is problematic and might not be the best approach

Zero-Sum Game

If this is the case there is no point in collaboration because there is one winner.

There are other types of games and possible winners.

Call of Duty , Fortress 2 – high quality gaming involving collaborative play together and collaborate towinner objectives

Sectors tab , 4 people to build up greater land, involving trade (Develops individual skills in thinkingstrategically)

Co-operation

Everyone wins or loses together

Pandemic : new disease that threatens to kill everyone, have to involve everyone to surviveTale in the Desert : Like War Craft no conflict, aim to build structures collaboratively to buildmomentums

Guy Richardson- The Most Human You , Debating with a computer

Anti-Lincoln-Douglas Debate

Two teams with two opposing objectives collaboration on a bill. Each team argues to the judges whythe bill supports their goal. The judges score both bills, and teams

New platforms, new players

Resolving conflicts and creating greater civic unity

Going online creates the issue of less face to face interaction.
