Using the pattern
Mutual Goals are typically used to provide players with Shared Rewards for some activity, and if Agents shared those goals create Teams. Another reason is to make Algorithmic Agents into Companions by giving them Mutual Goals with a player.
Can Modulate
Competition, Factions, Mutual FUBAR Enjoyment, Penalties, Player-Decided Distributions, Rewards, Shared Resources, Team Elimination
Can Be Instantiated By
Ownership, Shared Penalties, Shared Rewards
Can Be Modulated By
Asymmetric Resource Distribution, Betrayal, Individual Penalties, Individual Rewards, Negotiation, Player Defined Goals, Secret Alliances, Shared Penalties
Quite naturally, the Mutual Goals players have with each other cannot be Incompatible Goals. It is also difficult to have Mutual Goals over that which one has Conflicts regarding.

Interface Aspects
Narration Aspects
Consequences
That Mutual Goals most often provide Shared Rewards can give rise to Alliances if those sharing the goals are not already in Teams, and Cooperation as well as Symbiotic Player Relations in both cases. The Mutual Goals are by definition Symmetric Goals and succeeding with them are often Team Accomplishments.
