shall we play a game?

[ciphergoth]

skx, selectnone, the best my brain has come up with is that we should play some sort of non-computer-type game. If anyone else is at a loose end this afternoon or has any better suggestions, I'm eager to hear them...

I shall be going to .conception tonight.

Update: Which Rabbit turned out to be a very good game both times I've played it - getting together some smart people to play this seems like a good idea to me. I have texted both the people who've expressed an interest so far.

A truly excellent suggestion, thank-you!

"Which Rabbit" is essentially "Nomic" with all the unnecessary complication stripped out. Rules (as I play it):

1. Play passes to the left.
   
2. Each player starts their turn by proposing a change to the rules.
   
3. Changes are passed by unanimous agreement.
   
4. All rules are mutable, including this one.
   

Incidentally my flat is busy today so it'll have to be one of yours. Ideally we'd find a fourth player too...

That's a good explanation. I've never managed to explain it properly until people had already started playing.

Brief history: The game was invented by adjectivemarcus, ajva and myself, and named Which Rabbit through an elaborately random process. It varies a lot depending on who's playing, from silly to funny to complex to pure gameplay.

Suddenly I want to play it again. Hmm.

Could be interesting...

Our flat should be okay (we have cats!), but I could do with going out shopping, and indeed lunching, at some point first.
Lunching could be done in parallel with Rabitting, and I can easily apply a procrastination factor to shopping, plunging it deep into the heart of tomorrow.

curious; what happens if you change 4 to read "immutable"? You then have a paradox in the rules; oh, no, hang on, does "mutability" cover rule creation? i.e. if rules are immutable, can they still be created, or, indeed, destroyed?

anyway, see you at .conception; I'm taking requests now for my little chunks of the night; comments somewhere on gnomatron will get to me.
