Marinka Copier: Theorizing Fantasy Game Culture, freeform notes from presentation
Form groups - fishing companies.
Make a name for yourself.
You are to maximise your assets.
Fixed amount of fish in the ocean.
1 round = one year.
Decide how many fish to harvest each year.
If your order exeeds amount of fish you get NO fish.
Regeneration:
No fish no gen
1-25: double
25 - 50: up to 50.
...we didnt cooperate: the maximisation emtied
the ocean in 2 rounds.
Marinka going on to:

Discussion time.
Liz welcoming the meta perspective as a starting point of seminar, and focussing on the nature of this group: campared to many other discipline it crosses over a lot, many of us doing hybrid work.
Montola: read hobbyist - non-professional - non-academic texts.
Marinka: why you call it hobbyist, its situated.
Craig: social construct of the subject. Marinka, sometimes these text become analysis material. Role players very aware of own experiences.
Martin E: yes, since it is constructed actively by participants. Knudepunkt book. Nordic larp - in one book they played academic. Pps ideas about being academic. Central work, non academic text pretending, playing to be academic.
Craig: whats the difference.
Annika: i dont think it is unique. Post modern research. Internet. So much is now availiable to the researchers, ten years ago you wouldn't see so many non-academic sources referenced. In that we are not unique.
Guy from learning lab in demark: design based research, theoretical framework to combine theorits and practicioners.
