Link Round up

*Terra Nova points to 15 new papers on Virtual Worlds - very cool!

*Organizers of the 2006 Toronto Independent Games Conference announced that the event will take place from August 31 through September 2 in Toronto at the George Brown College, at its Casa Loma campus.

*How to make friends and kill people: relationships in first-person shooters

*Female clans launch protest:
Two all-female gaming clans are protesting against a new beauty contest which they say could damage the way women gamers are perceived.

The winner of the Miss World Series Videogames contest will receive $1000, a contract to appear at all WSCG events, and will be featured in a forthcoming game. The only gaming-related entry requirement is that entrants state what their favourite game is.

Both the US Frag Dolls and the PMS clan are boycotting the contest - and have decided to hold their own Mr WSVG competition in protest.
