Abstract:
1. A method for use with a computer simulation, comprising: running a simulation in which a group of at least three processor based client devices communicate over a network to interact with the simulation; causing a first user interface to be generated on each of the client devices in the group for allowing users associated with the client devices to interact with the simulation; causing a strategy manager to be generated on each of a subset of the group of client devices, wherein the subset includes at least two client devices but is less than a total number of client devices in the group; receiving user created strategy information in response to an interaction with the strategy manager on at least one of the subset of client devices, wherein the user created strategy information comprises a user created textual message that is to be automatically displayed in response to a condition occurring; and automatically displaying the user created textual message during the simulation on the subset of client devices based on comparing a state of the simulation to the user created strategy information; wherein the simulation comprises a computer game and the user created textual message is automatically displayed in-game during game play.
