By the way, your Mollinger quote is absolutely apropriate, because that's exactly the question:

can we produce togheter a structure that could prevent us to fall either in neo-narcisistic solipsism or in neo-fascist colectivism?

It's a true philosophical chalenge, you know?

And i believe that our (our= all of us) situation in this game is abolutely emblematic, since the Gridcosm deals both with control (statistical, etc, etc) and freedom!
