GUEST SPEAKER: Even if it's allowed in the rules but it's against a community norm. Yeah, so if maybe- I'm trying to think how to describe it- so, people who play casually will tend to say, oh, if you do this with this character then it's cheap and you shouldn't do that, whereas the community at large and people who play seriously tend to say, well, if you can do something you should be allowed to do it, and if you can't overcome it that's your own fault. Fighting games, obviously, there's always kind of questions and debate about whether something's cheap or viable or should you be allowed to do it. GUEST SPEAKER: Well then you can start by giving me an example.ĪUDIENCE: Sure. You can continue to write examples if you can think of them. GUEST SPEAKER: You can do it within MMOs as well, or a multiplayer game. Is this within the context of the game, or are we talking about in a multiplayer game your conduct with other players, and this kind of thing?ĪUDIENCE: Or, when I was in Owen's office whether or not to steal the swag. So we were just talking about Fable, but if you could think of a more specific example from it, a level, different choices that you get with characters in certain games, whatever you can come up with in terms of are there interesting ethical dilemmas, situations.ĪUDIENCE: Wait. And I'm actually going to collect these at the end because, as Phil mentioned, I'm teaching this ethics and games class and I want to bring in more examples of this stuff. So to get started- and actually, I don't like the term lecturer because I don't get to lecture very much- I'm going to start by handing around some index cards and I want you to take a few minutes and generate some examples of ethical elements, procedures, episodes, games, the more specific you can be the better. So it sounds like you all have lots of opinions, which will be good. This is a taster of a little bit of what we do. PROFESSOR: You can take this as the sneak preview. Are you teaching something in the spring? She is the visiting lecturer- visiting professor, visiting professor- here at GAMBIT. Actually, a lot of you probably are already familiar, you might have taken any of her classes. Sorry about that, but I think this is a net gain for everyone. In fact it eats a little bit of your time for assignment three. So this, of course, does not actually mean that you have more time for assignment three.
