So yeah. ;) ...and since I don't know what you're referring to about interfaces, I guess it's parallel development. Link me the interface talk? “People talking” is my casual-speak for “player-participants interacting.” So yeah. ;)

I think that's probably what you meant, but the distinction is an important one. It's important to remember that interaction can take many forms, and only a few of them are verbal. Oh, and for personal gratification: was any of this, even partially, sparked by my recent stuff on games as interfaces? Or is this just one of those awesome instances of parallel development? Thomas Josh,
