Sartre's prefered Hell: a gaudily decorated sitting room which admits three occupants. The temperature in the room is always slightly too warm and the furnishings evoke unwanted emotions. Occasionally the exit door opens but players are psychologically averse to leaving.

A [[:Category:Lobbies|lobby]] in which players manifest as their preferred physical self.

This is an alpine cabin with a roaring wood fireplace, couches, and a well-stocked pantry. Snow is falling outside and icicles adorn the eaves. There are numerous blankets to cuddle under and a small library of books to peruse.

Snow is falling outside the cabin but opening any outer door only leads back in to the cabin unless the player agrees to enter a game.

	A game consists of players, an interface, an environment, and gameplay. All of these elements are readily accessible in a computer simulation such that an entity capable of simulating configurations of time/space/matter/energy would also be capable of instantiating a simulation which conscious energy may exist within.

	Rather than limit possibilities to a single perspective, I dream of infinite games created and refined by their players in innumerable variants.
