General InterSocieties Comments

OopMan - Is there a Go society at UCT or not? Although I don't recall seeing one in the prospectus my sister, who is involved with the Go soc at Wits, says there is indeed one in CT and possibly at UCT. Anyway, why not play speed-Go? Go is great, way better than Chess...

~GeekDotIdon?'tBotherToSign - 'cause the idea was that the games would go more or less quickly, and go can go on forever. and checkers is much quicker than chess, and less complicated. maybe chess can be done at a later stage, but everyone'd need to dress up as a knight or bishop or whatever. more complicated.

OopMan - Erm, I did say Speed Go. Ie, not taking years per turn. But, yeah, Go is less feasbile, as even a small game needs more meat-puppets than Chess. Also, said meat puppets would get bored standing about for the rest of the game. Maybe we should do a 3-way thing with the SCA - Battle Chess!!!
