Looking back, looking forward
About 10 days ago we took the password off the site, and opened it up to the world.
I wrote a little bit about how it works on my blog, Tom elaborated about our plans on his, and a friend of ours, Russell, said some nice things too.
It’s been great to see people pick up the idea and run with it, and there have been some superb noticings, such as this one from meltingman:
And this one from I like:
The 174 noticings, from 39 players, across 6 countries so far have given us an idea of how people are playing the game, and where we might want to head with it next.
We’ve got a few new rules in the pipeline, and when those go live we’ll explain them on here. Further down the line we’d like to move to a more open, collaborative game, with players able to suggest rules and adjustments, and maybe allowing everyone who plays to vote on them. A nomic if you like: a game in which changing the rules is part of the game.
We’ve realised that we’re going to have to work on explaining Noticings better, so new players know what they should be looking for. And when we have to pull a noticing because it’s not quite what we’re looking for, we need to explain that.
But for now, thanks for playing, and keep your eyes open.
