Notes from meetin 26/08/08

Ludology reading was discussed

Pay it forward was discussed and is now a president for our work because we believe that the idea of paying in a act of kindness works with our idea.

Same applies to K Pax

Our ideas are based around quick fire compliments to make for short conversations as they can be on buses at times.

Compliments can add value to peoples days our work will involve finding out how people feel about compliments being given and also what sort of compliments .

How do people feel about compliments you have payed on to them.

Flashing a smile face or not so smile faces could reveal how compliments work with different people.

A score system on compliments should be present for the achievers group of our social society.

If you score high on the compliments table you eventually become a star in the social network.

Stars get rewards based on the intimacy factors .

Eventually a star can win a big mac voucher or flowers for his/her kindness.

The bus and a social network is our Locales.

The Locales framework.

Understanding design though social network theory, game theory, and ludology.

Non detailed conversations.

Short conversations can have limited intimacy but mostly compliments can help to invoke

Feelings = intimacy/ connection.

We define intimacy to fit our work.

Showing how that works.

We will write up research and keep a back up of our references.

The act of public transport can be made more intimate through an extension of the hand shake though tools like intimacy compliments ect...

A tool is the extension of the body .

Look into physical experiences to research like the Telecoms screen communicator that used to be in Readings Courtney Central.
