Tasks / Paleodiet
The diet of the hunter-gatherer differs from that of the typical SF0 player not only in composition, but also in the degree to which it is predictable. Explore the subjective effects of a scarce and unreliable food supply on the modern, western human by modifying your own food selection mechanism to include elements with random or uncertain outcomes; to wit, play a game to decide what and how much you eat.

Let's do this for dinner on Wednesday. I will set up something.
Can we make this a massive strategy (card?) game played across the globe? That sounds like one task where having lots of opponents really enhances the experience.
I kind of want to modify a game like Settlers of Catan or Agricola for use with this task. Probably won't be doing it myself, though, as most of my attempts to modify my food intake end in disaster.

My method of choosing: I asked one of the people with me (relet as it turned out) for a number between 1 and 100. This was to decide who got to pick the item I would eat. As it turned out, relet ended up picking a number which sent the food choosing to him! However, the choice was now a number between 1 and 1000. He picked the number, and thus had me ordering the gyros:
Tack! It has stayed surprisingly even, especially considering I'm at nearly two months since the last trimming.

It was a cold and rainy night. Well, of course it was as were were in Portland in the Winter. We had exhausted ourselves at the local monument of capitalism and our ingrained desires for nourishment kicked in. I broke out a deck of cards so that w...
I feel like i'm going to be rolling a d20 a lot in my future. Or basing my diet off of my performance in debate
