Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)

[Pengwinja]

You are probably the first person to say this ever

I once studied my mother's paralegal textbook and it was quite riveting.

I write about public procurement law, almost for fun.

I'm such a dork.

Nonsense, you only become a dork when you reach my level. Or is it an imbecile? Lemme check my IQ test again… what does 54 IQ mean?

Role play now? Ight then

Everything is calm in the waters east Asia, everything is as it should be. It’s quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. How zen! How is everyone’s day going? And what’s your favorite type of bear? Personally, it’s probably the (American) black bear.

When do we find out how many fish are left?

[Jamiet99uk]

I can see why you might like the American black bear, but I'll raise you, the Arctic polar bear. Very few creatures in nature will kill you just because, and few of those are as fluffy as the polar bear. Polar bears are even the reason we have the Arctic and Antarctica as names, "Arctic" comes from "Arktos" which iirc is the Latin name for the god of bears, "Arktos" has bears, "Anti-Arktos" has no bears, Arctic, Antarctic-a

Which of the rules of Calvinball do you not understand?

[damo666]

How many fish in the sea?

How many points I got?

How many beans make 5?

And 5 beans=5 beans

[damo666]

Seriously I'm a bit confused.

What's the diff between phases?

When do we find out how many fish there are?

What's the difference between a Tag and an Ability?

Tags are more like status effects, so more passive abilities.
Abilities are activated, so… like activated abilities.

Phase two is when actions can be put in.
Phase one is discuss.

I don’t know when we find out.

I never understood singing the very sorry song after being tagged with the Calvin Ball, I just couldn’t memorize the lyrics.

I moved the legal limit to four successfully, so that’s good, I guess.

Huh?

[damo666]

Retrospectively or just moving forward (though it makes no diff to me having fished for 2 sticklebacks).

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I didn’t have any ability because I guessed “Investigator” and I don’t think I gained any ability for today

I also fished 2 fwiw

I have an ability to move the legal amount of fish you can fish a day up or down once. I don’t know exactly what happens if you fish over, but i think if you do, you get a tag which makes it so you can be punished in court, which is why i asked if anyone had the court ability.

Move it back down, please.

Why are you encouraging over-fishing??

[Jamiet99uk]

I obtained a tag which lets me talk to other people with the same tag.

Currently nobody else has the same tag.
