Oslo on IRC jokingly summarizing part of a debate:

"""""""politics is the mindkiller" is an applause light" is a fully general counterargument" is deeply wise" is a semantic stop sign" is why our kind can't cooperate" is a fake explanation"

This has the makings of a card game or something.

Some of my friends and I were already thinking about making something like this — good to see there is a good start available!

It does, doesn't it...

All have to say is if someone actually makes this game, there has to be room for the awesomeness of quines. After all, "is an applause light" is an applause light, isn't it?

"is an applause light" is actually a boo light not an applause light. However it is true that "is a boo light" is a boo light.

Thanks, it's awesome. Arguably better than the actual lesswrong context, tbh. :-(
