That’s easy. All of them.

Many years ago, I was a participant in an online game of Nomic, and a rule change changed my name to “Mr No Pop Culture”, and greatly restricted my ability to change it to anything else.

Turns out Obsession can be broken, if you play it purely mechanically, which BGA players have.

Thanks for the link. I like that Dan Hallagan is thinking about it and working on it to make it better. But he is absolutely right playing Obsession purely mechanically loses a lot of the game and my experience (with a good friend) on BGA was very suboptimal because the theme just doesn’t come across and I did not want further plays.

any technique that so blatantly disregarded the spirit of the game” - from all accounts, Victorians could be vicious about getting the best servants so I would have thought that kinda move would have been quite within the spirit of the theme!

Some chatGPT inspired “data archeology” has uncovered data about my old rpg campaigns that I had thought lost… note: chatGPT didn’t find it, I did, but using it to help me convert old files into modern formats inspired this which in turn was inspired by Russian hackers destroying my blog for the nth (and final) time. So it is kind of as if Russian hackers had returned my old game logs to me :slight_smile: Thanks internet!
