Interceeding in a conversation between Bruce Mitchener and

Not trying to put words in Robert's mouth or anything, but I'd offer
that one alternative system might be what I jovially term the
'thousand monkeys' system.
While it's debatable whether even 5% of that content is 'good', it's
still a resource that's out there. The reason this is still
untapped (to a large degree), is that like a 500 channel satellite
TV, a player's going to be hard pressed to find something that
he/she enjoys or is interested in.
Interactive narrative instead pushes the story to the user, making
that problem go away. But what about pushing player content to
players? Well, I wouldn't force the content on anyone, god forbid,
but how about recommending stories based on your past likes/dislikes
(ala Amazon.com's recommendation system).
By all accounts, it's a simplier technique which might have the same
effect - in terms of providing an interesting narrative. It relies
on good ol' fashioned brute-force (monkey power) to punch up the
stories, but technology to tie it together. In some ways though,
it's almost like a 'smart' message forum, one that can decide
whether you'd be interested in the newest story post.
