This was also in my inbox, thought it might be of interest. Jill Walker Rettberg wrote:

you might wanna look into T.L. Taylor's "play between worlds" or Mia Consalvo "Cheating" - both are excellent accounts of how players bend rules or "work around the system" for in-game or beyond game purposes. in regards to "bending the game" for achievement beyond game play see also: Thomas Malaby's games and culture journal article "parlaying value: capital in and beyond virtual worlds."
hope that helps, Silvia
Hi, did anyone look into fake play, foul, bending the rules in online games? Salen and Zimmerman did, any other ideas?
Thanks for a hint. Mathias --
