Repeated game sessions revealed shifts between short-term and self-sustaining strategies
2nd International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography (ICQE 2020)
How incorporating game events into ENA can visualize changes in complex-systems play across repeated sessions. Repeated play showed significant differences in responses to game events and patterns consistent with greater attention to temporally distant phenomena and sustainable strategies. Selected repeat players and in-game traces do not independently establish durable systems understanding, and logged strategies require interpretation within the game's mechanics.
