in 1980. Washington alleged in this action filed on February 2, 1996, that the
union breached its duty of fair representation and National breached the collective
bargaining agreement in relation to a July 13, 1993, suspension for insubordination and
his November 22, 1994, suspension and subsequent termination.

       The district court granted defendants& motions to dismiss the claims relating to
the July 1993 suspension, concluding that this claim was time-barred because it was not
filed within six months of an unfair labor practice charge Washington filed against the
union with the National Labor Relations Board on August 3, 1994, alleging that the
union failed to properly represent him in the suspension grievance. The district court
also granted defendants summary judgment on the claims relating to the November 1994
suspension and discharge, concludingand the Story itself (the fictitious sequence of events and experiences being created) is in the middle.

The player experience is a combination of interactions with elements on all three levels; other players, the game processes and the story that is being produced collaboratively. Governed by the rules of play (or perhaps ignoring them) the players both contribute to and perceive their own interpretation of the shared story that is being created. Their imagination is stimulated, possibly the game rules (as well as presumably facilitating play) provide an intellectual challenge (e.g. game tactics) and the activity is a social one so they can bond with or compete against other players. All-in-all a fairly wide range of experiential needs are catered for.
