I propose a new form of multi-user performance art, and I christen it “GNE Pinball”. I welcome contributions from all denizens of GNE to help me realise this ambition. Here is what I have so far:

One player is the “ball”.
Other players are stationary in their hub.
The “ball” moves from hub to hub at whim, until they come to an occupied hub.
The player(s) in that hub now become “balls” whereas the original “ball” is now stationary.
Play proceeds until some predifined end point (eg first player to hub X).

Now, there are some (!) questions that are left to answer:

How do we know that the game is being played fairly?
How do we know when someone has won?
What happens when two “balls” collide?
How do we know who is playing?
Can we incorporate people as “barriers”?
Flippers?

Of course, the game doesn’t have to be played for any particular purpose or goal, as demonstrated by those of us who played a nascent form of this game on 19th November.

Come on folks, lets hear some suggestions…
