Consequences
Shared Resources can lead to Competition and Tension but also to Negotiation and Social Interaction, and when the latter occurs may spread to players taking on different Social Roles related to the Resources or putting them in situations of Social Dilemmas. Such Social Dilemmas are even more common in games where players not only have Shared Resources but also need to engage in Cooperation, and this may further increase Tension since players may have Inherent Mistrust of each other.
That others can use Shared Resources can effectively make Time Limits exist on how long players have access to these Resources. The presence of Shared Resources also make the players with access to them have Symmetric Resource Distribution regarding those Resources.
