Golf as a massively multiplayer online
roleplaying game
Golf as a massively multiplayer online
roleplaying game
03/30/2005 02:37 PMCory Doctorow:
Shot-Online is a massively multiplayer online golf game. With
role-playing. And questing. And golf.
Shot-Online is not just an online sports game either, but it is a
highly accurate simulation and a deep role-playing experience. It is
the RPG quality that makes Shot-Online the unique game it is,
especially with the community interaction and the enhancement and
leveling of your character. Speaking of community and role-playing,
Shot-Online offers both realistic and rare items drawn from the
celebrated history of golf. Practicing every day, competing against
players with different skills, allows the gamer to advance their
characters abilities. Quests and item exchanging and more add to the
community feel.

John Wujick - the history of role
playing games
John Wujick - the history of role
playing games
07/24/2004 12:48 PMHere are some quick and unstructured notes from John Wujick's talk
(the designer of Amber).
- First, individuals characters were introduced to strategy games
to provide things like "what if Gandalf had been fighting with
the Allies"
- Magic was originally a form of artillery
- "People tried to kill me because I was trying to take their
dice away from role playing when I was talking at Gencon about
Amber"
- "Zen and the art of roleplaying"
- Removing everything that is not absolutely necessary - turns out
that almost everything can be removed (dice, combat system, game
master, players) => a role playing game has no essential components
- "I have no idea what a role playing is, even though I do it
30 hours a week for 20+ years for a career"
- "Every hour you are playing a role playing game YOU're
paying for it - thus it's stupid to fall asleep (as in not being
aware)"
- You can only create an experience if you try something new; not
repeat what you have already done
- We have to break the rules - do things we've never done before
Random change of subject: Computer games
- 2003 US game market worth about $20 billion USD - more than
Hollywood + all TV
- 2008 global gaming market worth about $46 billion (est)
- Games not that different from 10 years ago - technology is only
better
- Moore's Law
- Every second of a movie takes about two hours to fix by one
person
- In a few years, the game industry is movie quality. Where do
they go next? So far the designers have not been an important part of
the team - graphics people and programmers dominate the field.
- To which designers should the game industry go to?
- Example: Starcraft sold 3 million copies - 500,000 of them to
South Korea
- One person installed them in all Internet cafe's - all computers
could play Starcraft
- All copies were legitimate, hence plenty of money generated
- Own level generation and creativity became a huge thing among
kids
- Government support for game industry starting at 1999: $500
Million USD support
- 1$ Billion revenue in 2003, 80% of it from South Korea
- Major game studios opening in China in the next couple of years
- Not a lot of creativity in Asia, though, due to education system
(no mistakes, too much time used for learning to read/write. They are
afraid to do stupid and bad things. Correctible through training.)
- At the age of 18, most Western kids know 500 games. In Asia,
they know four.
- In role playing games, you are not following anyone else's script
- Until you put your own toys together, you don't really understand
toys (if you've never played with Lego...)
- Small countries lose their own culture under the pressure of the
big ones
- What happens to the culture within games?
- In Gencon, 20 new game companies every year => always new
stuff being produced. US gaming culture is thus protected because of
the inability to understand that most companies fail ;-)
- Small countries should dip into their own strong culture and
mythology and history for creativity
- Computer games are only narrow slices of the RPGs
- GTA III is actually closer to roleplaying than FPS-games - it
allows you to "go anywhere"
- Computer game designers do not understand games - they understand
technical issues, but they do not understand the fundamental
differences between multi-player and single-player games. Most
MMORPGs are FPS -games, expanded to just multiple players.
- How do we create games that allow for complete immersion
- Last 10 years of published RPGs have been going to the wrong
direction
- Game designers are too good in creating rules that are perfect
(too well balanced, "something for everyone")
- It's a dead end
- Difficult part in gamemastering is challenging players until they
want to "get out of the box"
- "I once ran a really horrible g

posted detailed descriptions for running your won MMTW events.
By forming a star, it is also possible to play the game with three or
four participants. The left hands are also free to hook up with even
more players. Again a connection with up to 4 players is possible. By
Massive Thumb-Wrestling according to the rules described above
unlimited amounts of players can connect to join a Multiplayer

that incorporated all genres from first-person shooters to space
trading sims to 4X space operas. A game where someone could fight as
an FPS grunt, in a battle directed by a tactical squad commander, as
part of a wide battle front directed by an RTS general, which was but
one part of a planetary war planned and executed by the ruler of a
galactic empire. A game where you would never go on a cookie-cutter
mission stamped out upon request by a vending NPC, because all
"missions" would be requests from other players for a particular
service, such as transporting a combat team to an enemy stronghold,
designing a corporate headquarters, or tracking the movements of a spy
working for a foreign power. Picture this, if you will:

The Path to 802.11i
12/02/2003 12:34 AMOr, how do we get from here to there? A colleague wrote in to ask
several questions about the path from WEP through WPA to 802.11i, the
final IEEE security standard that's expected next year. I answered his
questions in email, but I thought they were a good foundation for
discussion. Currently, all 802.11a, b, and g devices support WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption which has had flaws and exploits
well documented. The ultimate goal is 802.11i, a robust set of
security improvements. On the road to 802.11i, the Wi-Fi Alliance has
required WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), which fixes all of WEP's
problems, is a subset of 802.11i, and which allows full backwards
compatibility for most 802.11a and b devices made before 2003. My
colleague asked what would become of the current generation of 802.11
devices when 802.11i appeared? Because of WPA, I expect from promises
made by manufacturers that virtually all client adapters and many (but
not all) access points will have firmware upgrades that allow them to
support the full WPA subset. Equipment released in 2003, and some in
2002, already has the silicon in place to support full 802.11i, which
has a more complex option for encryption (AES or Advanced Encryption
System, in a couple of flavors), and a few more requirements.
Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Intersil, Atheros, and others can merely
push out firmware upgrades to enable AES and other features to their
partners who will then push them out to customers....
