A game is, y'know, like Monopoly, Chess, Bridge, Red Rover Red Rover, Eat Poo You Cat, Jungle Speed, Virtua Fighter, Charades, In The Well, Nomic, Sorcerer, Bunko, Football, Final Fantasy VII, that Tron game with the laser motorcycles, Civilization II, Super Mario Bros, the fighty game, Fastlane, those "new games" hippies came up with with parachutes and giant rubber balls, Knots, Solitaire, Idiot's Delight, Hearts, Hockey, the knife thing that the android does in Aliens, Formula Dé, Model UN, the World Game that Emily can tell us about, Tai Chi, Truth or Dare, De Profundis, The Game (which I just lost, dammit), and German-style sword deuling whatever the name of that was.
I'm pretty sure that Dave's actor friends are covered.
This makes DY go "Covered by game, or RPG specifically?"
This makes AJF go "I just lost the game too."
This makes VB go "DY: if they're roleplaying..."
I don't distinguish between "we're roleplaying" and "we're playing a roleplaying game." If they're roleplaying, per my definition above, then they're roleplaying, "game" or whatever.
This makes VB go "AJF: I don't think..."
I don't think you can lose the game when someone else mentions it; I think you have a 20-minute grace period or something.
...I suppose we could check the rules.
This makes SLB go "NinJ: Wow. Cool link."
This makes BL go "Taiji?"
Even for health purposes?
This makes VB go "Ben, sure, why not?"
Also, what the hell do I know about it?
This makes mneme go "Game==RPG?"
Vincent -- you defined game (by scattershot examples, anyway), but not RPG, at least, not in this post.
This makes VB go "I defined roleplaying a couple posts up."
This reminds NinJ of Mensur.
This reminds AJF of I did check the rules. That's an option, but I play hardcore!
