Where: The Westside Tavernin the upstairs Wine Bar (all ages welcome), located inside the Westside Pavillion on the second floor, right by the movie theaters.
Parking is free for 3 hours.
Activity: We will play a classic game of deception and deduction, The Resistance. There will be unmoderated discussion before game play, and afterwards we can talk about the use of games and other methods for training our heuristics.
Don't worry if you don't have time to read anything, or even if you've never read any Less Wrong! Bring a friend! The atmosphere is casual, and good, intelligent conversation with friendly people is guaranteed.
I will bring a whiteboard with Bayes' Theorem written on it.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, you should consider time-limiting your rounds in The Resistance. Especially the first few times a group plays -- so that people get more chances to play different roles.
