Court of the Empress: Out of Character Talk

[mcroft]

This post is for out of character discussion of this round of Neel Krishnaswami's The Court of the Empress.

This is the peanut gallery, so pass the peanuts and we'll see what the Empress and her court have to do and say...

It'll be interesting to me to see how we change over time.

Push in this sense is pushing an situation onto another player, i.e. "Look, he fell through the ice!". It's the opposite of Pull, which is where you offer another player an opening to come into a situation. "Help, I am teetering on the edge of the ice!"

This game has some element of competition in it, as you don't want me to whack your courtier, so there is a place for some of each kind of player-contribution.

It may take a little bit lnoger. Since the room I am currently sitting in is some 40 or more degrees (that's something above 104-105 for the Americans). So, since I do not cope well with heat like this, I cannot think. I am very much brainfried. I'll post as soon as I can. if other people wish to contribute to the dance by describing what else we're doing, please feel free. Preferably not hurting each other, though. Sallan *did* promise, after all.

I'm going to open up another service, but you all can finish this one if you get a chance.

Thanks. I'm sorry to hold things up like this. I should have my latest post up later on tonight.
