such a perfect grace
This Sunday afternoon I and another one were sitting in the park--the Ohlone greenway by the BART, where there is a rope jungle gym. This beast is approximately double human height, cubic, tesselated with good strong rope tracing truncated octahedra. Recently, it acquired four-coloring on the vertices in duct tape: red, yellow, green blue. I and the other one were finishing our picnic lunch when two humans unknown to us crossed the park to the jungle gym. One was on his phone: "we're trying to get another game of 3D twister together, and are desperately short on people--you busy?"
Long story short, I and the other one were invited to play with eventually six other humans, evidently Cal grads turned townie, excellent geeky humans with a KGB-style ratio, concentration of gay men, comfort with platonic cuddles, dyed hair, long hair on boys, and all. The game is played in the following manner: seed with each person having each limb on a vertex in the jungle gym. One person calls, as in normal twister. Unlike normal twister, touching the rest of the ropes with knees/etc is permitted, though touching ground is not. Moving to a new vertex is only valid if that vertex is on or next to one occupied by another person's limb; this is to enforce twistering with a limited number of humans on a large interconnected grid. Win conditions are: other people drop out until two people are left, or all people remaining converge to the same four vertices.
Ended up trading phone numbers and promises to call in case of more 3D twister, twister chess, ITR, CtFwS, or similar happening. Also got another recommendation to join SF0; have now done so. You should too!
