"Game mechanics" are the new digital hotness these days. Fueled by business books like Total Engagement , successful apps like Foursquare , and presentations-gone-viral like Jesse Schell's "gamepocalypse" talk , it seems like every damn thing on the Internet is getting some gamelike interaction grafted onto it like a cyborg appendage. And Sebastian Deterding , a designer and researcher at Hamburg University, has had enough. He distilled his thoughts on "gamification and its discontents" into an embeddable 62-slide presentation that's pithy and pretty in equal measure . Deterling attacks the gamification trend from a variety of angles, but his argument boils down to this: points, badges, and leaderboards do not a true game make. What they do make is distraction, confusion, and obsession with "fake achievement." http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662656/sixty-two-reasons-why-gamification-is-played-out

I printed a really simple sign (shown above) that says: Paper Towel in the Trash Can 100 POINTS!!!
