The Input Is Good; The Game Should Be Excellent

[shipitfish]

Ok, so another post about how excited I am about this game. I got a call earlier today from a player, who had some concerns about some of the details of the rules I posted for the SIF@HOME games. They were excellent suggestions and I've incorporated them into the rules sheet.

I have a really good feeling about all this. I am trying not to set my expectations too high, because it may not go perfectly, but I am excited that we have nine (!) players confirmed as Definites and there is one player interested to get in if there is a no-show.

So, despite the fact that my new table has yet to arrive and therefore have to wake up poor Dawn so early in the freaking morning to borrow hers, that I have my old clunky chip set to use, and the Pharoh back KEM decks I have are little too subtly different that we might cross-shuffle the decks if we aren't careful, I am really really excited about SIF@HOME.

I have more improvements to make to the rule page, because I have this urge to make sure they are complete in at least my mind before the game starts. But, regardless, it's really something to look forward to. My wife will probably be regretting the idea that she said Once a week? Oh, that's fine my book club might meet here once a week, too. A house full of poker players is a bit crazier than a book club, but I can't wait for it to happen. See the nine of you tomorrow! To the rest, I'll try to get a write-up here by Sunday morning.

Where's the changelog?

Sadly, there is none at the moment. :( I may eventually put up a Wiki for this thing. For the moment, I'm putting this in a single Live Journal post, so I'm just editing an HTML file and reuploading it. I suppose I could keep a GNU-style ChangeLog for the file itself, if that would help. What do you think?

Whichever works for you :) It's just hard to know what changed from when to when if you read them before you get there...

Ah, I realized while out buying snacks for the game what I should do. I'll just make a comment thread on the LJ post that contains it with details about the changes. That'll automatically store the date and stuff. It's not the cleanest way, but barring creating of a Wiki, it's the most straight-forward given how I have the document now.
