Well, it took me about a month longer than I expected to finish the first draft on the game article I’m writing. I suppose I could’ve done it a bit quicker but I’ve had to conduct several interviews which took some time; in fact, I’m still waiting for someone to get back to me before I have everything I need.
The whole thing clocked in at over five thousand words, which I realised was way too long to publish anywhere; a friend who had a quick read of it concurred. So now I’m in the painful process of trimming off all of the fat and redundant verbiage - so far I’ve cut about two hundred words, and I’m aiming to remove another three hundred tonight. It might not be fun, but it’s necessary.

What’s the article about, exactly?

It’s an article looking at the first Intersite Democracy Game of Civilization 3; involves over three hundred players, and is (I believe) the most complex and subtle implementation of strategy and power politics online.
