Yeah, we're still here, but it's sort of like a DnD group, if you have too many "no-go" sessions, people stop bothering.

Though on the other hand, I kinda want to do paranoid debating now.

How many of you are there? I may try to create a new meetup group when I get there. Perhaps I can prevent the same thing from happening again if I precommit to show up somewhere at some time. I'm mostly interested in talking to people with good epistemic rationality, and playing board games (or something similar) with people who are good strategists, both of which I've found LessWrong meetups to be good for.

Counting everyone that came to at least one meetup, I think it was five people. Counting from lesswrong, the google group and the reddit threads, there are probably at least 10-15 people who would be very interested.

Are the meetings word of mouth at this point, then? When is the next meeting planned?

Oh, sorry, by "we" I meant the constituent people, not the group.

Ah, gotcha.
