 [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] is difficult to combine with [[Mimetic Interfaces]] since one pattern deals with making real world activities into gameplay actions while the other makes mimicking real world activities into gameplay actions.
 Further, since this pattern makes explicit use of what the player does, it works against [[Actor Detachment]] in the sense of players' characteristics outside a game should not affect how he or she is perceived in the game.

 Activities performed in game are typically activities done specifically to affect the games. However, some games do take the activities done for other purposes and use them as input for changing the game state and those that do so have the pattern [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]].

-While [[Conspiracy for Good]] makes charity work and donations part of its gameplay, it is a weak example of [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] since it only does so at specific points in the game and is design to start making people be more charitable rather than make use of the charity work the players already do.

-[[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] is a form of [[Extra-Game Input]], and one which makes [[Pervasive Gameplay|Pervasive]] and [[Ubiquitous Gameplay]] possible. Since [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] rewards those good at certain real world activities, knowledge of how to do those activities is beneficial for gameplay. This leads to games having this pattern to be likely to also have [[Real World Knowledge Advantages]].

-Implementing [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] consists of deciding which real world activities to use and how to measure or translate the activities to game state changes. While [[Game Masters]] or [[Umpires]] can let the input to the game state be qualitative and can change the mapping on the fly, technology-based systems can let games do their real world activities with a greater sense of privacy. [[Player-Location Proximity]], [[Player-Player Proximity]] and other similar patterns do not directly make [[Real Life Activities Affect Game State]] part of the gameplay of a game, but patterns related to it such as [[Physical Navigation]]  and [[Player Physical Prowess]] can.
