Field notes
The setup asks for an address or number, a code, and a call sign; the page says licenses also carry two colours and a rig. It identifies the operator as Outright Mental Inc. of San Francisco and says the service asks for neither passwords nor payment. The fictional concession and selection sections supply the institutional frame, while notices are dated and numbered. The homepage does not name participating games.
