Seducity History

"The problem is that players have conflicting needs.
Addressing one player's needs affects the other players' needs.
Old hat quick summary of player types:
· Achievers - play the game as a game, to win.
· Explorers - seek to understand the game world.
· Socialisers - the game and its players are a context for socialising.
· Killers - players who feel the need to dominate other players."
