[Air-L] fake play, foul, bending the rules

[Silvia Lindtner]

Hi Mathias,

you might wanna look into T.L. Taylor's "play between worlds" or Mia  
Consalvo "Cheating" - both are excellent accounts of how players bend  
rules or "work around the system" for in-game or beyond game  
purposes. in regards to "bending the game"  for achievement beyond  
game play see also: Thomas Malaby's games and culture journal article  
"parlaying value: capital in and beyond virtual worlds."

hope that helps,
Silvia
