OVERVIEW
▣ SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Platform In Depth XTribe has been designed with a modular structure through which most of the complexity associated to running an experiment is hidden into a Main Server, while the experimentalist is left with the only duty of devising a suitable interface for the actual experiment. In this way most of the coding difficulties related to the realization of a dynamic web application are already taken care by the ET Server and the realization of an experiment should be as easy as constructing a webpage with the main utilities for it.

As case-study experiments, two games are already implemented in the platform: Nexicon and Blindate. Nexicon is a collaborative word association game: two players, who cannot communicate with each other, have to write a set of words they associate with a given word (the same for both players). They win as soon as both of them write a common word. The scientific outcome of the game is the possibility of constructing a sort of perceptual network of word association, much along the same line of well known word association databases.
Blindate, instead, is a collaborative game, very close to the well known Schelling’s Games first introduced in the early ’60s [17]. In Schelling’s original version (one of many similar problems), two players, unable to communicate with each other, were asked to find a point on a map where to meet, i.e. they had to find a strategically salient “focal point” among a potential infinity of solutions to the coordination problem. Since Schelling’s seminal contribution, many versions of “Schelling games” have been used to investigate strategic salience, i.e. the individual ability to guess recursively what the other guesses that he will guess is salient, an so forth [18, 19].

The reward is a score depending inversely on the distance between the guesses. In addition, after playing, participants may optionally explain with suitable tag words the reason of their choice. The purpose of the experiment is to get an annotated map of the focal points of the city.
