Participation implies alteration, I agree. That works for me. To suggest
that alteration means that the system eventually falls apart is something
that I don't understand. Obviously, making a system, setting expectations,
putting controls and monitors, etc, etc, etc, is all very challenging. I
don't mean to suggest otherwise. But I believe that the net result is that
there is significant entertainment value.
A 'system' that I'm thinking of is the classic: blacksmithing. The actual
construction of a worked piece is involved and entertaining. Sparks flying
from the hammer, pieces being shaped bit by bit, assistants and fellow
smiths helping with complex tasks, and so on. The resulting pieces have to
either be sold by commission or on an open market system, which is part of
being a blacksmith. If you don't want to do the selling part, you conspire
with another character to get them sold. The selling process should be
similarly entertaining - for those who enjoy selling things.
Can things go wrong with this from a playability standpoint? Of course.
Will it take time before I can figure out how to make it work? Yes. I may
never figure it out. But I have my goals, and they define what I think is
entertaining and would be entertaining for people that I know. I'm rather
uninterested in the games that exist today, so I investigate the
construction of games that I would enjoy.

Agreed. Having that happen would be a problem. A knee-jerk reaction to
that is that if a band can walk through and wipe out the wildlife, the
wildlife must've been lining up to be butchered. Wildlife runs away, lives
in large spaces and is tough to track and kill. Those checks and balances
alone would help limit the effects of such a problem.

They may very well be doomed, although I'm pleased by the appellation
'charming'. Their 'doom' may be that they are untenable given the current
gameplay environent: player demographics, technical problems with player
anonymity, inability to set expectations among players, labor requirements
to run a world, etc.
Player complicity is an excellent topic, and only emphasizes the challenge
of having children in the game world as first-class participants. I may
very well ban everyone under 21 and charge $30 a month. I actually don't
know if such a thing is viable or would have the desired effect, but it's a
thought.

I understand your point, but mine is that the absence of explained cause is
annoyance. You can present one-off counter examples, but would you ever
offer the example of having one's shoe vanishing without explanation? It
just happens because that's the way the world works. No rationalization
through backstory, no evident effect, just a cause. A bit like the case of
spontaneous generation. No rationalization, just 'it happens'. I assert
that it also makes the virtual world just a game world, not a virtual world.
The more an experience contains such things, the less likely a player is to
think in terms of suspension of disbelief about a virtual world. Instead,
they think in terms of "oh, it's a game - how do I win?"

Right, so you've got evident causes and effects, which I consider to be a
good thing. Dunno about the 'impossible to access' part, but to each his
own. For example, if they're impossible to access, how'd they get there?

I think you're assuming that my marketing would be in the mainstream player
channels of existing game magazines and such. Suppose I restrict my
communication to The Disney Channel or to The Lithuanian Journal or
whatever? My target audiences are already out there and I just have to find
out how to communicate with them. 'Gamers' are not who I'm after. They
want to play a game and win it. I want the experience hounds who'd like to
toy around with exploration, crafting, medieval soap operas and so on.

The phrases "painful support issues" and "disgruntled players" comes to mind
for me.
