Yeah I suppose it could have worked in a number of threads. Originally I wanted to put it in the Feats of Autism thread.

EVE is incredible though. They do studies on the virtual economy, it's so sophisticated/complex a simulation. The strategy and coordination games are amazing. I'd love to print an anthology of battle & guild histories on the press at some point.mind you it was totally obvious since the seventies that this

I can't help but wonder how much of it is scripted in that as the game/universe "evolves", the developers need to lay on structures for the participants to battle in. So to some extent, at least, the battles are set peices - even if the victor is not pre-ordained, the shape of the conflict, the weaponry, is not created as if by magic from nowhere - the developers are creating a story for the players.
It's not Deus ex machina really, is it, there must be more IRL factors than what they allude to obliquely in that article e.g. server capacity meant they had to use time dilation - find us some more info on how that works, please? There must be political & economic factors too? What happens if that Russian faction takes over?

Just seen some of the editors of The Modern Word - literary thing with loads of material on writers like Joyce, Pynchon and Borges - have decided to get the site back online. You could only access it through the Wayback Machine for a while and it was a proper, sprawling, old thing with dead pages, dated layouts etc.
Shipwreck Library
As befits its name, Shipwreck Library is a sprawling site, an eclectic labyrinth devoted to literature, film, music, and gaming. Featuring several thematically-grouped sub-sites, Shipwreck Library is divided into two major sections: The Modern Word Founded in in 1995 to explore and celebrate...

Yeah I don't know what the organizational scheme here is, or if some of it was done by AI.

RIP Ian Peter - pioneer of the early independent internets
Peer to Peer
What can we learn from poets and coders who engineered a parallel internet that, by 1992, had email servers running in 72 countries? Peer to Peer’ is a deep-dive into data sovereignty and decentralised data flows as described by two generations of information communication rights peers.

recreate the late 1990s web experience - ironically you'll need an up to date browser for the emulator to run correctly - browser emulators include Mosaic, MacLynx, Navigator, etc.,

The Old Internet Shows Signs of Quietly Coming Back
I like that this article is old school html and looks like it is from the 90s, yet makes a good case for "old internet" being aligned with web 3.0 in that it was decentralised ( personal pages hosted on a computer at home, etc., )

I was reading yesterday that when the search engines start using chatai websites will need better semantic tagging to win seo - that's probably a good thing?
