“Our focus… is on gameplay and what we believe is another manifestation of minstrelsy in gaming—performance. How, we ask, do urban/street games establish a powerful learning environment for not only portraying but also performing race in the form of blackface?”

“Creating a virtual identity that was different from my real identity, but remaining transparent about my real life identity if ever questions were brought up in conversation. Being honest about your real identity is important if you want to form ‘real’ friendships, ones that can even extend outside of the virtual world. I was actually treated even better than I was as a white male avatar. There were also a lot more clothing choices as a female. I've grown attached to this female avatar.”
“At first it was really a personal experiment. I wanted to see what sort of reaction I received and if I was treated any differently. When I first started, I was a white male avatar, and found it difficult to fit into some already existing cliques. So, I wanted to try a different approach:”

"We will propose the term ludology (from ludus, the Latin word for "game"), to refer to the yet non-existent 'discipline that studies game and play activities'."

ThomasMalaby
“Johan Huizinga set the tone for much of the inquiry into games and society in the latter half of the twentieth century with his book Homo Ludens (Man the Player) in 1955…
Later in the book [Huizinga] speaks of the “play-element” (a type of experience or disposition), rather than of “play” as a (separable, safe) activity...
This play element is marked by the legitimacy of improvisation and innovation that it allows.”

"...it was not my object to define the place of play among all other manifestations of culture, but rather to ascertain how far culture itself bears the character of play."

Thomas Malaby
“There is a standard account of what games are that saturates both popular and academic accounts of games.
This is the idea that games are a subset of ‘play,’ where play is understood to be something fundamentally opposed to ‘work.’
The primary shortcoming of seeing games as play, and play as opposed to work, is that games become domains intrinsically set apart from people’s day-to-day life.”
“Gaming becomes sensible not as an escape from everyday life but as just one of its multiform domains…”

“The play only exists because of the more
rigid structures, but also exactly despite them.”

“Games are the embodiment of this paradox of rigid rules and free movement, of locked formal structures and playful improvisation. And it is this movement from systems of information to systems of play that is increasingly defining our time.”

The Ludic LifeWe are finding a new way to live our lives within a virtual world by collapsing the modernist divide, allowing us to live or approach our lives in news ways through integration with play-elements.

“As fans of cognitive science, there was a desire to use 3D representations for communication and collaboration, but we didn't design SL to be good for business meetings or education… [But after launch] educators descended in increasing numbers, demonstrating the value of SL as a space for conveying, storing, representing, and consuming information.”

"My impression is that although it may not have been designed specifically to a ludic end, Philip's being inspired by Burning Man led to a desire to build a toolset and an environment where it was understood that ludic behavior would have naturally resulted."

“I am about to leave for Burning Man... but I think this is a great topic. Like Blue said, I really built SL as a place to make things, to create. So the 'Ludic' element I guess comes with that because along with one's ability to create the world around you is the ability to create yourself and your timeline/narrative. So the Ludic thing springs from a creative platform.”

“…[Lindens] had not expected the cultural aspects of SL to happen at all, and they were still very much in a period of adjustment in this regard… this was revealed in the changing status of ‘content’ around Linden Lab.”
Thomas MalabyMaking Virtual Worlds: Linden Lab and Second Life.(Coming out in early 2009 from Cornell University Press.)
“Even in 2005, it was clear that for the most part SL ‘content’ was for Lindens content in the game developer sense: stuff that was built, scripted, and texture-mapped in SL. As users created other things, such as support groups, or social events, Lindens had to work to get in the habit of thinking of these social creations - which depended little if at all on the conventional content creation tools - as content just the same.”

“Rather than think about what is happening now as somehow a ‘break’ from the past (a new era, or somesuch), it is rather that the way everyday life has always been game-like is only now coming into focus, becoming more and more difficult to deny.”
Thomas Malaby by email(Aug ‘08)

“Since the world is moving towards more mutability and creativity in general (not even counting SL), I'd say Eric Z's thoughts are correct.”
