It was like world of warcraft but in reality. say for example there was a rumour that someone called 'smokey' could catch an eel. and you wanted to catch an eel. someone would say. Smokey can catch eels. So you and 5 pals would walk 6 miles to find Smokey. You'd sit in the sun and he'd share his stories of how to carry out the task. Then you'd go to the said location at night and fulfill the task. etc. It was fun.

That's interesting: It's like we've introduced "spoilers" into almost everything we do. I mean, if you have some discipline you can still do things "spoiler-free", I guess (specially if it's not a job or particularly dangerous), which I agree sometimes presents a great learning opportunity and completely different experience.
