San José residents
think about the
online forums?

38. Davide: interesting exercise. i've done it in person at
city hall once before. worked very similarly
Jean: This is better than the in-person game.
Facilitator: What about it did you like more Jean?
Jean: Not noisy, could "hear" everyone. Real-time
updates of the balances. I could keep track of
others values via their bids. No side chatter.
Better focus on task.
Davide: it came down to the facts. no body language,
no prejudices, just ideas and dealing
