[arg_discuss] Nine Inch Nails ARG

[Steffen P. Walz]

eva -

no, no offers in that direction - yet:-). but as a matter of fact, in  
game design classes, my students & i do a lot of trading stuff  
similar to the paperclip-2-house story just to learn how certain  
interactions take place, and how they can form sequences...like,  
trade something you have for something you get from the person in  
front of you and then trade something else you have for something  
from the person behind you...and so on.
