Dude!
Check out this article from Wired magazine. It's about this guy that designed this video game that exists only on his flash drive. You get to play until your character dies, and then you have to pass the flash drive on. Read what happened when he passed it on.
Here were his "commandments" for the game:
1. Run Chain World via one of the included “run_ChainWorld” launchers.
2. Start a single-player game and pick “Chain World”.
3. Play until you die exactly once.
3a. Erecting wooden signs with text is forbidden
3b. Suicide is permissible.
4. Immediately after dying and respawning, quit to the menu.
5. Allow the world to save.
6. Exit the game and wait for your launcher to automatically copy Chain World back to the USB stick.
7. Pass the USB stick to someone else who expresses interest.
8. Never discuss what you saw or did in Chain World with anyone.
9. Never play again.
Read today. Think. Blog Thursday.
And thanks to Katherine Patton for this article.
For blog credit this week, answer ALL of these questions:
1) Do you believe Ji was out of line when he changed the rules of the game by asking people to bid to play the game?
2) Why or why not?
3) Do you believe a single play game like this could ever really take off?
4) Why or why not?
And by the way? I will no longer give blog credit to people who obviously didn't take the time to read the article. If you can't care enough to read, I won't care enough to give you a grade.

Yes! You shouldn't have to pay to play that game! That was the whole point of it, you were suppose to just hand it off to someone else!
Nicholas Morin - 7th period
Yes again. I think that alot of people around the world are freaking out every time they see a flashdrive that even looks remotly like Chainworld.
Nicholas Morin - 7th period
Chainworld really took off because from the sound of it it seem to be the most customisable game out there. That really what all gamers want, an open world where you can create anything and discover other things other gamers have created.
Nicholas Morin - 7th period
i think it was ok since he became god of the game beacause even in real religion we have people who dont always follow the rules or do what they are suppose to so if the original guy wanted this to be a real religion he could expect this to happen
i believe this game wouldnt be as popular in the real games becaus i a gamer myself wouldnt want to play it with out the mystery surrounding it

Miara-1st
I think he was out of line because those werent his rules to change. I dont believe that something like that can happen because the same thing would go on somebody would try to change the rules.
K~Mac-1st
yes he was outtaline for that. thats like a different version of copyrighting. and because he has it and hes probably not going to give it up because he might be that type of geek...
d'jarius williams-1st
yes i do believe that ji is out for asking people to bid on the game because even though he had the game he had no reason to up and change them asking for bids.And the game could really take off if he didnt take the game and run off with it, pretending to hand the game over to someone but really keeping the real version. and the money that was supposed to be raised for charity idk what happend but i belive the money he collected was used to take that trip to hawaii. -TUTT 1st
1) Yes I believe he was out of line.
2)It wasn't his game to make that decision with. Rohrer specifically set up the commandments how he wanted them. But then again? He does leave a small opening by saying that "you become God" on the game. IF that's the case then I guess any idiot can change the rules.
3) I don't see a game like this really hitting it big. I think it might take off in hard-core video game nerd land, but that's not the land most of us live in.
4) Because it's so limited. I have to get my hands on THAT flash drive to play? OK. Let me get in line.
I don't necessarily think he was wrong to try and get someone to pay for it, the rules didn't specify whether you could or couldn't, and any religion is strongly based on individual interpretation. However, I do think it was wrong for him to make "player slots," because when Rohrer was first giving it away he said he couldn't give it to a friend. I don't think you're supposed to know the next person it goes to. I think the game would take off, but just as something that's out there that most people know they will never see. While speculation about the game could be popular, the game play itself can't get very popular because the number of people able to play it is severely limited. Since you can't discuss what happened in the game, it will never grow.
-Tobin, 1st
Please leave ONE comment to answer all four questions!!!!! 120 students times 4 comments each is too much for me to contemplate!!!!!
I dont believe JI dint go out of line, he is just tryihng to make money of it :D. Because its not something bad nobody said it was for free. Maybe in the future, if it does then it will be amazing. Because like JI game, people are wanting to play it, their even biddingh on it! so that shows that there are people out there that would play games like that.
H.M 1st period
I think Ji was out of line because its not fair that the people with the highest bids get to play the game and everyone else doesn't and suffers. Bidding to play a game is so unethical and really just straight up wrong. The reason for playing the game is passing to other people so they can see what others madw and maybe help others who struggled throughout the game, hint the name Chainworld. I do think that a game like Chainworld could take off because it allows people to be able to interact and play together. It also gives people a chance to add their own personal touches to the game.
Amanda-1st
Here's another thought . . . what if he (Ji) really did throw it in the ocean and now it's gone? You think Rohrer has a backup somewhere? I sure would have made one before I let it out of my hands.
I think that Ji was out of line when he changed the rules and asked people to bid for the game, because technically it was not his to change, and i doubt that seling the game for... "charity" was what the creator had in mind. I dont think a game like this could ever really take off, because it lacks the continuity that most gamers use as a tool and the fact that its a single play device means that it detracts from the addiction that makes most games so popular.
Brittany Diaz 1st period
No, I think that it was brillaint that he had ppl bid to play the game, because it was for charity, but does all of the money go to the charity?(HHMM)..I really do not understand the whole concept of just handing the game off to someone, because it just doesnt make sense(who else does that); I do not think that this game will go far.
-Takarya 1st
I think he was out of line for putting the game up for auction. It wasn't part of the rules, and theres no proof he gave the money to charity.
I don't think this type of game "single play" could take of because no one wants a game where you just play it once
Michael 1st period
Yes, he was out of line, it wasn't his game to change the rules for. It was created to be passed on, not paid for. I don't think this game would every really take off because I know I would get impatient if I had to wait to play and only one person could have it at a time. That's just me. People probably would have to have a lot of drive and love for video games to play this game.
Ellen 1st
1) Yes I think he was out of line.
2) Because he got lucky to get something special like that and he was suppose to keep it the way it was.
3)Yes I think it would because I never seen anything like this before.
4)I think the reason why it would get real famous is becuase there are a lot of people who love games and want something quick and easy to play with right?
Nhi #1 :)
To me, i think that what he did was wrong and used the children and then the Hawaiian tragefy to keep the game longer, especialy to get more money from the bidding for Chain World. He could of set it for bidding at first for the children, then when he saw that people did want the game, money, power, and abition took him over.
Honestly, this game would become available for all of us, i dont think it would even fly off theground. The whole idea to put a game in a USB is amazing, but what would be the whole point of it if it wouldn't allow anybody to change what you do. Perfect control isn't always good, and could end up boring.
♫☼ Victor ☼♫ - 1st
While I don't believe it was right for Ji to charge for the game it does add to the game's original purpose which was to combine religion and video games. As far as a single play video game being marketed, this will not work from a business perspective. People will always want a do over which is one feature that have made video games so popular.
Blake 4th
yes, i dont think that was a good idea. cause i dont want to pay for a game that im only going to play once. no, im sure people want to play a game more than once cause thats what makes games fun and alot of people would want to play itand will pay money.
I don't think he was right at all to do that. Jason Rohrer had an idea about what he wanted the game to be, then Ji took it and made it into a franchise. I believe the game would have taken off in its original form and that it has definately taken off in this form because of the mass popularity and mystery associated with the game.
Ale Diaz 4th Period
yes he is wrong for making people pay for it to play it and then changing the rules bc he doesnt own it
Jacques 4th
yes he was out of line because it defeted the point of the game. i dont think a game like that could catch on because people wouldnt follow the rules and because it would lose popularity.- emily 4th
yes he was wrong by changing the rules and making you bid just to play a game. you pose to hand it off not make money on who gets it next. honestly, coming from a girl who have viedo games, i think a game like this would take off at a good start. for one my classmates and mrs. L are talking about how they would love to play it and "it would be clean" as yung cirdie said earlier. if alot of gamers got their hands on this game chaos will be at its highest
jasmine-4
Yes he was out of live because why would someone want to pay to play a game they can only play once!
I think that a game like that could take off as long as you fallow the rules to it and don't sell it... and having many copys of the game may take away from the personal value of playing the game.
Gavin 4th
yes, i dont think that was a good idea. cause i dont want to pay for a game that im only going to play once. no, im sure people want to play a game more than once cause thats what makes games fun and alot of people would want to play it and will pay money.
Luis M. 4th period
Yes, Its Wrong He Changed The Rules Of The Game Because If He Didnt Create It Then He Has No Business Changing Any Rules
Yes I Believe A Single Player Game Like This Could Actually Take Off Because I Know For A Fact That I would Play It And Once Somebody See Me Playing It The Would Want To
Jeron G. 4th Pd.
Yes i thinks its messed up that he changed the rules because he didnt even create the game so he has no right to change the rules.Yes i believe a single play game could ever take off like this because it makes it more interesting how the game is setup for one person to play and pass it to the next person.It builds the interst of the game.D'ANte Riggins-4th
Yes that Asian dude was wrong for trying to make money using the game. The game was intended to be free so everyone in the world could eventually play it. If the Asian guy wanted to make money he should use his own ideas not other peoples.
And the game could take off because its free. If its free it doesnt hurt to give it a shot.
yes he was out of line by changing the rules because he was making money off of someone elses game that, Rohor just wanted people to play for fun and free. Yes it might because people might want to play but also no because you only get to play it once so you will never get to play it again
-Curly 4th

Bonifilio Soto 4th
I think ji was out of line becasue it wasn't his game to change and to change everything on stuff that wasn't his in the first place and for him to make people bid on something that wasn't even his is a NO SIR! because he didn't even make it himself. I don't think that it would like become a big thing becasue people really wouldnt follow the directions are like to pass it on.
yoana 4th period
Okay, do i think that he was out of line? well, yes and no. yes because even though he made the rules, he shouldnt have changed them like that. and no beacuse even though hes asking people to pay to play the game, the money is going to charity (supposedly). and anyways, you have to play for every video game you play just about.
I dont think a game like this could take off because of the fact that when you pay to play a regular video game, you get to play it however many times you wanna, but with the stick game you only play it once and there goes all your money when you die....
Meagan McG-4th
(I personally think it would be a fun game to play-without paying for it. it looks/sounds interesting)
Yes, he was outta line because it wasnt his game to make the decision with. I dont think this "single played" game could ever take off because i doubt anyone would want a game where you only could play it once.
Samantha Morris-4th
1) Yes.
2) Ji took a game that someone else created, their baby, and turned around and decided to profit from it himself. It wasn't his to sell. It was supposed to pass from hand to hand, this myth that a person could only see once in his entire life. All that is ruined unless Ji forgets all about the money.
3) Not really.
4) Playing something only once? I hate minesweeper, and I've played it more than ONCE. With the flash drive, everyone simply can't be trusted to not play again. A game you've only seen for five minutes is going to be a lot less memorable than one you've played for five hours.
* I also think that the creator, as ambitious of a plan he had for this project, was a bit of a fool for beleiving that everyone would abide by his rules. It was only a matter of time before this happened, or someone decided to keep it, or the drive itself got lost or destroyed.
-Brittany Wells, 4th
Im sorry.. yes because it wasnt his game rules to change and he shouldnt have done that. its wrong to change someone elses hard work.
Meagan McG-4th
I think definitely Ji was out of line because it was a game developt my another gamer and it was intended to be free and be passed on to the next person so they could experience it and put input into it.Also it wasn't the person who made the game so he doesn't have any permission or authority to change things around.Theres is a 50/50 the game can take off because its only one player at a time and only the person who has it can play it so its a maybe possibility.
Marsilo-4th
Mrs.L
YES because the rules werent to change and not many people follow the rules....I dont think that video game would really take off, because most of the people who arent into nerdy video games like chain world.
-Paz 4th
Ji was out of line because he didnt make the game and there for had no right to change Rohrer rules. In my opion there is a way for this game to take off because big gamers would want to try and play this game and see what its like. On the other hand the game is not a good game because people want to get in to a game and feel it. If you play one time there is no way to get into it, also people want to play with there friends and you cant with this game.
Zach-4
I think Ji was out of line when he changed the rules of the game, because it wasn't his game to change in the first place. I really don't know if this game could take off because you can't trust people to only play once. You also don't know where in the world the game might be and if the game starts messing up how will they know where to find it.
-Meleah 5th
1) No
2) Because he was just trying to make money off of what he created
3) no not really
4) because it doesnt really appeal to me
- LANDON 5th
It's his game, he can do whatever he wants, so I'm fine with him doing what he did, it's not like I'm gonna play the game.
Well it matters what you mean by that, if tooken off as in it's talked about as much as facebook, then no, but talked about it in your computer class with Mrs.L then yes. :)
I'm sure it won't be a huge deal, yeah it's the first that I know of and heard of, so either way it's always good to have something new.
i think he is wrong for selling the game to people and than all of a sudden he changes the rules. he doesnt even own it. it isnt his right to change the rules when the game is already out.
Osman 5th
Yes I do think he was out of line because he should not change the original rule of just passing it on. I dont think it could really take off because whats the fun in playing a game that you can only play once.
Rhiannon- 5th
Yes I believe he was out of line.
Because It wasn't his game to make that decision with;The commandments were already set up. I dont think a single play game like this would really take off because not everyone can play. It isn't availible to everyone and you can only play once. Also you can't talk about the game? How are you going to discuss it? Nobody wants to play a game you can only play once.
-Ivette P.5

-The Boss; David Radnitzer
-5th
Him changing up the rules was wrong, so now that he changed it hes not going to give up and change it back .!smh
-BRIA 5TH PER
I think Ji was out of line by asking people to bid on the game because he was not the original creator of the game, therefore he had no right to ask people to pay for it. I don't believe a single play game like this will be very successful because it defeats the purpose of a game. Video games are for continuous use so that gamers can come back and play whenever they want to. The fact that you have to pass the game on after you finish playing one time can cause lots of chaos among hardcore gamers.
Jameika-5th
In my opinion Ji was out of line, it wasnt his game to change the rules for and it was even more out of line when he wanted people to pay to play the game.That's just pretty selfish if you ask me.Also i dont think this game would ever really take off because there is only one. Video games, music, movies and such wont get popular unless alot of people have the chance to try it, it would take yearsssss for alot of people to have a chance to play the game. I wouldnt want to wait around for that long JUST for a video game.
yes.because because now days you can just buy a game. i dont think a game like this will.because what is the point of the game
david b. 5th
i think he was out of line for changing the rules. the maker had certain rules that he wanted to follow, but in our world many people mess with others belongings. i also dont see a single play game taking off. i think among some people, a very small amount, it might hit off. but even though im a "nerd" i wouldnt be in the nerd world playing this game!!! i think it is mysterious and many people would not be interested to get a little flashdrive with a game. it wouldnt be that known and people would not be wanting that.
Caroline Kingham-5
3) Do you believe a single play game like this could ever really take off?

Ellen Ash-5th
I think if you let people bid on it, it won't make it as fun and secert becasue then more people know about it. So no I don't like that idea. Secondly, I think this is a good concept but I don't acutally think it would work like really well. But it is a really cool concept!

Elizabeth Turner

well people should already know that when you like video games...u have to pay the price...and the this wasnt the exception...he bid his game and iguess if he made it he should get the credit for it $$$
I belive this game sucks...i dnt undertsand the concept of one person playing @ a time...it jst seems boring...bt one "good" thing about it is that it's diffrent...when it seems like the video game world has gone to its highest someone comes up with other ideas...some stupid some good..but all diffrent
-norma 5th :]
yes Because nobody wants to play a game on a flash drive that you can only play one time and I would not pay money for that peace of crap!!!
A single play game would not take off because that flash drive could have a virus on and mess up your computer also some people problly wont care at all to get it and the price maybe way to high!!!
Yes. Ji was wrong for asking peolpe to bid to change the rules of the game. Because, bidding is not right for a game that you get to play only once. I personaly, that the game will not take off at all if you only get to play once. Because, it should be longer and you should have more lives than one. Darian 1st.
i think he was out of line, because the point of it was to pass ot off and not have to pay.Personally i dont see how other games are populer but thats just me and i think that this might catch on if you like playing alone.
michi-1
yes he was out of line when asking for people to bid for the game because not everyone has the money to try and play the game. and i dont think so because alot of people dont even know about the game. i didnt know about it till we did thi blog.
Shaq 7th
yes. the point is for it to be shared not bid for.
a single player game might actually be very popular. not telling people what you did would make people want to play to see what is in the game youd be god in your own world and then when you die someone else will be.it sounds intresting and very tempting to play.
Jasmine - 7th
Yes, because the creator didn't meant for that to happened, the creator meant for it to be an interesting and in my opinion weird. In my opinion no, i wouldn't want a game where i would have to pass it on after i play. Besides i think games like those are boring.
Eric M 7th
i think he was clever, the rules are that you are allowed to change things so.... Ji made people bid for a spot to play it.
i think it actually could take off because the word will get around and another things is that if you are allowed to change things, you could have a completely different game in a matter of 10 people playing it.
Luke Sowell - 7th
Yes Ji was out of line for making a bid on it when it wasn't his game. This game couldn't take off because you can only play once which to me it makes it boring..
-Diana 7th pd.
1) I believe Ji was out of line simply because Jason Rohrer tried to make the game a religion, not a funded game to play.
2) Why or why not? Because the game was supposed to be played by everyone for free. Its supposed to be a pass it on sort of deal.
3) Do you believe a single play game like this could ever really take off? It could.
4) Why or why not? It would not go too far due to the fact that only one USB was made. If they made about 20 and passed them to different people then it might happen. But then again it is just my opinion... ;D
~Matthew DeWard - 7th period
1)yes because it disqualifys the random hand off of the game,and decreases the chances for normal people to play it
2)see answer for 2
3)i dont think so because you can only play it once.
4)see anser for 3
soooo yeeehhhhaaa.....XD-matt c,7th
Yes I believe Ji was out of line by making people bid to get a chance at playing Chain World because the creator didn't intend on scamming money off of people. I don't think single play games like this would do well, because you could only play one time and most people believe that is frustrating.
Dylan-7th
1 AND 2) He was most definitely out of line, what he did was very unethical and it troubles me that he would pevert the idea into something that was used to make money. Charity or not, he was wrong. Because that's not how the rules go!
3)and 4) Sadly, I do not. Because if I were randomly handed a USB drive by a stranger- I wouldn't trust it. I would be far too paranoid about the idea that some goober may have just handed me a USB drive that may or may not contain malicious viruses to destroy my entire nerdy livelyhood.
-Rye
In some ways Ji was out of line and in some ways it was okay. Like, he did it for a good cause, not for his own benifit, and it techincally was his game after it was given to him, and as the "god" guy, he was allowed to "improve" the game. But, I dont think it was his position to really change the idea of passing it on, not selling it.
And i think it could really take off, having only one player adds to the mystery and demand.
-Katherine :) 7th
This was really a waste of brain power. It was cool that he got some of the "game-obsessed" Zombies to bid actual US Currency for a USB that you only to get play once. I believe that he was under the influence of some drugs(possibly Meth or Crack).
Would a single play game take off? Not likely but hey he managed to do it.
-Gary B- 7th
No, I think anyone who comes up with an idea as ligit as this one deserves to make a few extra bucks on the side. Heck, I would bid to play his game.
No, I dont realy think a single play game like this could take off. No one would want to invest time in a game that some crack head could have screwed up previously. You would have no control over who followed the rules. Not to mention the fact that one could break the game and waste everyone elses work.
Ross C. - 7
I really dont think that it was out of line for Ji to auction the game. He still follows the 7th rule and all the proceeds go to charity. However I dont think that a game like this will be very successful because not only is it a single play game, but only one person at a time can play it. That just doesnt sound very fun to me
Gage Green-7th
I am a gamer and I feel ofended at being called a "game obsesed zombie" by Gare Bear, that just out a' line (but i still would pay to play).
Nicholas Morin - 7th period
...Just because i have money doesnt mean ima give it to just anyone, I only donate to game related causes, and the peanut is still waiting for you Gare Bear =P. Im winning.
Nicholas Morin - 7th period
*Walks away slowly -Gary B 7th
*drags him back and throws him in a bag of peanuts*
Nicholas Morin - 7th period
I do not think that Ji should had bid it off because it was made to just circulate for free and for fun. I would like to believe that this kind of game could take off because it would be really interesting but I think it is highly unlikely on the simple fact that we never follow the rules for anything. People would just keep playing on not pass it on or only pass it when they got bored. Plus i would think that he had another copy in case that got messed up or screwed up by someone. If so he should make alot of them so he can circulate it through responsible people.
Sam 8
Yes because you should only pay for a video game that you can keep. I do not think this video game will ever be popular because for me just reading about it isnt going to intrest me.
Yes because the rules said you had to simply play it and pass it on not make someone else pay to play it.
I think a game like this might be successful but at the same time it could be a total failure, because it would have people talking about it but no one would truly know what happeneds. Until they play it..
I think the flash drive is an awesome idea. But why do you have to pay for it, if you're only playing it once. I think that it should've been passed on to people who were going to follow the rules. The kid was being really immature and really didn't want to give it away, but maybe he shouldn't have recieved at such an age where you don't care how you affect others. It would've been smart to only give it to people over the age of at least sixteen, this kid was ten.
-Destiny 8th Period
Yes because you should only pay for a video game that you can keep. I do not think this video game will ever be popular because for me just reading about it isnt going to intrest me.
Raul 8th
Yes, you shouldn't have to pay if you only get one chance to play. It can't really take off. How are you going to get a hold of the flash drive? and if you do, is it worth one turn?
-Savannah 8th
Yea he was he wanted to take advantage of the situation and wanted to make some money out of it. I dont think that it can cuz some games are addicted and people just dont want to play it for one time only.
Miguelito
8th
No I think he was wrong to change the rules because I believe that the ways it's supposed to work is that each consecutive player has less and less control over the game. He was supposed to follow the rules of the previous player, not change them. How would he feel if the next player changed something he had done in the game?
No I don't think a game like this could ever take off. I believe that there would be hype about it, and that people would be excited, but eventually if you aren't getting to play the game you'd get bored, move on, and do something else.
Trenton Birdwell - 8th
Yeah i think he was out of line for changing the rules of the game because a bunch of people bid and they changed the rules. And i think a game like this would take off because its a unique game but it should be free instead of paying for it.
-Andrew 8th
Yes I think that Ji was out of line with putting the game up for a bid like the is not to buying your supposed to pass it on to somebody just like they gave it to him.Umm not really because maybe something could happen to hard drive. nelis 8th.
Yes because the rules said you had to simply play it and pass it on not make someone else pay to play it.
I think a game like this might be successful but at the same time it could be a total failure, because it would have people talking about it but no one would truly know what happeneds. Until they play it..

I think Ji was out of line for making people bid to play the game because not many people are going to want to pay to play a game they can't play more than once. No, not many people would want to pay for a game like this.

yea i think he was out of line cuz you cshoukld bid in a game just to play and no i dont think would get that popular becuase u couldnt play with anybody else n wen u die u can ewven go back and fix what u did wrong
I think that it was wrong of Ji to change the rules allowing people to bid on the game when the original idea of the game was to pass the game on. This game shouldn't have necissary been passed to people who had enough money to play rather the people who would play the game for the fun of it. I do not think a single play game like the one Ji tried to get poeple to bid on could really take off. People wouldn't always follow the commandments that the original creater created making the single play impossible.

I believe Ji was just being human when using the game to help charity (I'm just glad he was using it for a good thing) so I don't think Ji was wrong morally, (but by game rules he was wrong, because well he broke the rules.)
I personaly think this game won't take off because it is just like minecraft(and it says it in the artical several times.) Its just a crappy rip off of it with only one life and then you pass it on.
Its a disgrace to the minecraft name and if I ever get the USB I would video tape myself breaking all the rules and then toss it into a trash can.(my own personal thoughts if I ever get it)

He was out of line in making people pay in order to play the game. The game was "naturally" supposed to flow through society without bidding for it. Although the money was for a good cause, the rules weren't meant to be broken.
Honestly, I don't think a game like that would've taken off. People don't want to play a game about religion because most find that a "touchy" subject to put a game on. Also, the hectic rules would just cause problems and hate between those that support it and those who don't.

No I dont think he should have changed the rules because he didnt create the game And by making people pay would defeat the purpose of the game being played and passed on through out society.
I also dont think that a game like this would make it because no one would want to play a game once and then pass it on and not be able to play again.
I do believe Ji was out of line. I think he had the right intent, but it was arrogant of him to believe that he could change the rules of someone else's creation just because they'd given it to him, especially since Rohrer made it clear that he was upset with Ji's actions.
I'm not sure a game like this could ever really take off. People who are very into video games might embrace it, but I don't think that the general public will ever be into something like this. Besides, this game is too mental and fragile, and is based on the honor system; it would never last long as Rohrer intended.
