Oh, also: AFAIK, Leverage is actually fairly low on precommitment, i.e. if someone were to want everyone to get together in the same room at the same time on a regular basis, they would have to go around and win the argument something like forty times, and at any time someone who’d previously been convinced could just say, “actually, never mind, I changed my mind and I have better things to do again,” and there aren’t any … initially consensual, eventually coercive? … structures in place.
Nothing, in short, to get people across the unpleasant valley except their own epistemics and willpower … no firm, unyielding scaffold that can be built such that others can rely on it. So, Leverage has the advantage of not having the failures of such a system (e.g. people getting trapped and wasting time), and Dragon Army has the advantages of having the benefits of such a system (Actual Reliability that doesn’t require inordinate upfront costs, the ability to develop an ecology of affordances over time upon a Schelling point of togetherness).
