This document appears to be notes from a discussion on gamification between Micah Hrehovcsik and another individual. They discuss definitions of gamification, examples of typical gamification using points and badges, and theories on moving beyond just points and badges to focus more on game design and creating playful experiences. The discussion also includes analyzing a game design using the 2CaT framework and debating whether an application should use gamification or focus more on playfulness.
