this is not a game!

We have added other elements to the game to increase both the sense of community and a competitive element for hardcore gamers. In particular, the website offers both the ability to make an entry and also allows you to view the whole of the book, thus far, to allow people to identify with the larger community of authors. There is also a list of contributing players and the number of entries they have made. We felt this was analogous to the high score tables which are often used to address the competitive desire of hardcore gamers and encourage greater levels of participation in games.
The game is already giving us some really interesting results on users and please fell free to contribute, preferably from your phone browser, or check out the website to read the masterpiece itself.
Although for some of you this concept may seem some what bizarre it highlights that there is still room for innovation in even the simplest technology.

Alejandro Thanks for your comments its great to hear that people are enjoing and seeing the potetial of story based games. I havent seen the books online but its sounds like the stuff Steve Jackson started with the printed role playing game books which I always enjoyed myself. I will have to try some of the online stuff. We did think about allowing people to start new branches to this story by allowing mutiple enties from the last entry but decided that it would probably lead to too many dead ends.Although we may try that next time.
I cant claim credit for the wb design i was done by my PhD student Will Bamford who has been developing this project but I will pass on your praise.

It's like those open ended books you could read (and write) in the Web. Have you seen them? You read the book in an interactive way. You are the main chaacter and at the end of every page you have to choose one of many options. You may arrive to a page that hasn't been written yet, then you have the option to write it. The good thing about this options at the end of the page is that this way the story grows as a tree, leading to very unexpected roads...
BTW, nice, elegant web design...
