pan---no-one is particularly upset.
it just happens that not all points of departure are equivalent. not even in a pub.
and so you know, i haven't a particular attachment to obama.
what disturbs--in the sense of makes me scratch my head and wonder what the hell is going on out there in the land---in the context of this parlor game is what i see as a wholesale loss of perspective which is built into your scenario and to the rules of the game, which require that a player inside the game take that scenario seriously in order to play. so what i see you doing is attempting to legitimate that loss of perspective by constructing a game in which you would impose it on others. not everyone is willing to play this kind of game, not even in a pub.
but it is a nice day outside here in tiny town and there are other things to be done and perhaps i shall go do them and will stop pointing out the obvious problems with the game.
