good morning fediverse. 
reading Dave Anderson's thread about the Fuel Rats of Elite:Dangerous yesterday ( https://hachyderm.io/@danderson/113465421567555186 ) reminded me of the tours of megacity hardlines the Radio Free Zion DJs would run for new players in The Matrix Online, so they'd have access to the fast travel points without having to worry about local mobs being too strong to deal with, and it's got me thinking again about emergent systems and how, if our brain is focused on gameplay and social interaction, it seems to me that we trend towards child-like cooperation rather than competition given the opportunity, until an external factor pulls us out of that zone.
so, what can you play with today to make the world a more fun place for people you encounter?
