Examples
Using the pattern
Mutual Goals are typically used to provide players with Shared Rewards and/or Shared Penalties 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, Player-Decided Distributions, Shared Resources, Team Elimination
Can Be Modulated By
Negotiation, Player Defined Goals, ,
Mutual Goals can be modified in several different ways.
Betrayal, Individual Penalties or Individual Rewards can be added, as can Asymmetric Resource Distribution in general, to make the incentives for players to reach the Mutual Goals differ. Having Secret Alliances make Collaboration or Cooperation regarding the goals much more difficult.
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.
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. This also modifies how players view the Penalties and Rewards they would each get compared to receiving them but knowing that nobody else receive any. Mutual Goals are by definition Symmetric Goals and succeeding with them are often Team Accomplishments.
