Asynchronous Collaborative Actions

The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Using the pattern

Asynchronous Collaborative Actions is basically Cooperation through Asynchronous Gameplay, but can be seen as a pattern in itself since it gives rise to some consequences that neither of the two more basic patterns do on their own. One primary design choice for the pattern is how many actions in sequence is necessary for the Cooperation to give benefits, and another is if Rewards are given out simultaneously or not.

Time Limits can be used to either make both voluntary and necessary cooperation feel more forced.

Interface Aspects

Communication Channels can be used in order to encourage the Asynchronous Collaborative Actions since this lets players remind each other. This also increases the likelihood for Guilting.
