Hattrick
It's basically an online football management game, but it's the very best I've come across. One amazing feature is its truly international nature. There's literally some guy out in Malaysia somewhere who pulls some kid out of their youth system and then you, in England, can buy the guy. Everyplayer in the game comes from somebody's squad. It's sweet.
Is it neutral? Hmmm... Well, currently around 600,000 people play it worldwide. That number seems consistenly on the increase.
n = # of people playing hattrick.
p= world population.
I hypothesise that as n ---> p, hattrick -----> neutral.
In other words, there would be an even spread of hattrick globally. It would become an alternate reality and then it would cease to possess and value, but would instead play host to a set of internal values (the players.)
A bit 'Brave New World', I know, but you've gotta spice up a basic plug somehow eh?
