Build Season '11 Resolutions

[Kevin Sevcik]

I resolve to listen to myself when I tell students that scissor lifts are a bad idea. No matter how clever a strategy they might enable.

I further resolve to limit game strategies to at most 2 tasks that depend on each other for the strategy to work. Strategies requiring 3 or more successes to give you an actual chance of winning are clearly insane. See Harry Pttoer and the Methods of Rationality for more information.

I write this rule on the board every year during our design discussions. It's a Bobcat Cardinal Rule.

3: promote more teamwork and cooperation. Its hard to get things done when team mates hate each other.
4: Inspire students to be better role models, increase GP
