Also, the players interface would have two modes (at a minimum) - game table mode where the PCs are actively involved in group play and minigame mode where the individual PC for the player is engaged in a variety of minigames that can be played away from the (virtual) table. Also - for real flexibility - there should be a mode where the game can be updated in real time as it is played at the table using traditional table-top roleplaying. Perhaps the GM clientsoftware could fast forward the story ("OK, we left the town of Munchkinville and now we are in the wilderness travel to Whatchamacallit Land.")
