	[[Self-Reported Positioning]] provides a narrow form of [[Self-Facilitated Games]]. It however does so within a context where players report to some game system so it can also be seen as a way of modulating [[Mediated Gameplay]]. Since it loosens the requirements of where players actually are, it makes games with [[Player-Location Proximity]] have [[Casual Gameplay]]. This also ~~help~~ provide [[Social Adaptability]] since players do not need to go places if they do not have the time or want, or do not want to disturb those in the locations.

	[[Self-Reported Positioning]]		[[Self-Reported Positioning]] requires that a game makes use of [[Player-Location Proximity]], but it is the easiest way to support this pattern since one only needs to make use of a communication system, not a sensing technology and a communication system.

Games have [[Self-Reported Positioning]] when this is done by the explicit actions of players

			''Note: this pattern complies with the original definition of the concept of [[Self-Reported Positioning]] in that players choose what location to report and can thereby report locations far from where they actually are.''
