Well, I’m interested in doing a meetup if y’all are. I’d be willing to host here in Baltimore. I guess express interest and availability here or in PM?
It’s a living.
If contracts using outside resources were legitimate it would also be okay for players to (consistently) offer cash rewards for cooperation. That would break the game pretty badly.

Your finger will not get burned; it will suffer the cumulative damage resulting from an unusually high quantity of unrelated high-speed molecule attacks.
This strategy works for me. I made the password to my non-work login something that would remind me why I set up the system. (I know of people doing similar things to the phone numbers of people they don’t want to call.)
