Was almost strong-armed into the Icehouse tournament a few minutes ago, by a cthulhia-led press gang; there were 15 players milling around, and jmac sitting there doop de doo suddenly found all eyes on him. Tempting, but I did the right thing by fleeing, I think; there is really not much I like about that game (not since I learned how it's actually played), and if I played like I did two years ago, I would have devalued the fun total, since one clueless (or "uncool") player can ruin it for everyone else (and this is one of the reasons I don't like it). I don't even want to referee that game (a more honorable route of escape that Zarf offered me). Fortunately, everyone forgot about me when it was realized that tournament regular the_radix was missing, and I slipped out while that search got underway. Will return in a bit, when I can watch safely.
