Say one person has a particularly great idea he is passionate about sharing with the world. But as he goes to tell others about it, and they go on to tell their friends, the message or its intent distorts ever-so slightly in accordance with the laws of ‘Telephone’.

In this crowd even one-on-one communication is lossy but the inspiration, the original passion carries through. People tell their friends with great passion, equal to that of the original thinker, but with a subset of his understanding. Pretty soon, generations of communication down the line, the entire crowd is riled up, Inspired with a capital ‘I’ but with a fragmented knowledge of what about. Everyone is dumber for it.

You should make your game about the ideal way to proliferate ideas in a crowd. Should you formulate a sign out of cardboard and yell at passers by? Should you tell your friends one by one hoping to be absolutely clear or get on a soap box and confuse the whole crowd at once? Maybe you choose to distribute your source content and ideas to everyone you talk to, all written down like in some sort of — bible form, I dunno.

You’re not crazy, it’s just pretty hard to see. look for the lowercase “b” and “a” wrapping about the “g” and “r” respectively. If that makes sense… It’s about as good as I could figure out, and frankly if people don’t see it, it’s not a big deal. My initial concern was just in making “gray” legible enough so people would think that’s the name of the game and not “black” or “white.”

Also, this looks very cool. Link!
