I quickly learned that the direct honesty that served me well as Art Director was a poor fit for business meetings. My producer would kick me under the table to get me to stop talking once they finally allowed me into important meetings with publishers. "Time and place, Mister Stark," my producer would tell me. "Time and place. " The creative process is split up into pieces in big-budget production. Design is separate from production is separate from marketing. Messaging is tightly controlled. Our company was adamant that we never work on the same team My wife, Nicole and I had spent years absorbing the same AAA philosophy.

Richard Bartle[1] MUSE Ltd, Colchester, Essex. United Kingdom.richard@mud.co.uk Four approaches to playing MUDs are identified and described. These approaches may arise from the inter-relationship of two dimensions of playing style: action versus interaction, and world-oriented versus player-oriented. An account of the dynamics of player populations is given in terms of these dimensions, with particular attention to how to promote balance or equilibrium.

This analysis also offers an explanation for the labelling of MUDs as being either "social" or "gamelike". Most MUDs can trace their lineage directly back to Trubshaw's 1978 game (Bartle, 1990b; Burka, 1995) and, perhaps because of this heritage, the vast majority are regarded as "games" by their "players".
