Paper Topic
I originally wanted to do a paper topic on how people interacted with simulated home environments because I think the idea of having a unique room is really cool in EQ and other games.

However, after thinking a little more on the topic I think I would prefer to research methods of administration and control over players in-game. By that I mean, how games go about promoting an ordered environment instead of letting the system decay into a social nightmare. Thinking about it on the top of my head right now I can think of a few methods common to most mmo's, such as: GMs, forums, real world social norms, terms of agreement, Warden. I think this is a really interesting topic because I believe it would be possible to apply the information garnered from game models to real life. Is it better to put more control with the players and let them enforce themselves or provide some sort of overreaching control on the system that enforces order? Perhaps some combination of the two might prove best. Sounds like a philosophical debate more than science o.O

More to think about after tests tomorrow.
