Even while sustaining our awareness of ourselves as not-player. Sicart developed this idea in order to investigate the ethics of games (is it ethical/unethical to beat up sex-workers in Grand Theft Auto?) How should this apply to GM? I think the idea of making yourself subject to game might be relevant to where the role most profitably lands. And is GM afterall subject to game?</blockquote>
