Is reality an alternate reality game?

If so then, I think that Freud and Kitarou Nishida argue that to prevent this our alternative reality from being imploded, or outed, and seen for the fiction that it is, then it helps to have a higher level of reality, the super ego, which itself may can be a game, taboo, unthinkable, unpleasant.

I am not sure if or how that could be integrated into a computerised alternative reality game. Perhaps one could include computerised dummy players that  seem to be attempting to implode the game, and break its rules, for sleazy ends. These dummy players could be seen to be sending fake attempts to chat up other members "This Second Life is b.s. isn't it. Let's hook up." while at the same time being of a different generation, and perhaps the same sex, and ideally related. In this way that anyone who likewise disrespected the rules of the alternative reality game, would be tarred with the same sleaze-bag brush.

I mention this partly because I am about to ask a question related to my response.
