This article explores the possibilities of written cooperation in playable, persistent and cross media environments generated from the web. It analyses the form in which dynamic systems are designed and human-machine interaction may be taken into consideration, balancing mechanisms that encourage both altruism and competition among opponents in digital spaces. Mixed strategies that associate individual trends of zero-sum games, or competition, versus cooperative prisoner's dilemma type games.
