How many people do you need to play these games?
Meetup : Less Wrong Sydney - Bayes and Fun Theory
Discussion article for the meetup : Less Wrong Sydney - Bayes and Fun Theory
As suggested via the FB group, this coming meeting's topic will be Bayes and Fun theory. Now looking for Bayes games!
We are making this regular now - So every 3rd week, alternating Mondays/Fridays. As before, we will meet at Cafe Norita for a topic as yet fleshed out. Join us on facebook for more info, or comment here for your suggestions!

P.S. Just a congratulations to the "Post Hocs" (so classy guys) on their win at last meetings' Fact or Crap game. Their superior use of confidence values to justify wild guessing was sublime!

Hey everybody!
Apologies for the short notice on this meeting, but it felt preferable to sort this sooner given we are testing out a new location and time- Norita Cafe & Board Games (It's on level 2 - elevator access is weird, if you think you'll have trouble, contact ahead!). The topic is pretty social- we will attempt to build a small pool of predictions (based off local and global events) as a group, to be trialed over the next couple weeks until the next meeting. Given that this is a trial run style meeting, and the venue stocks tonnes of popular board games, I don't see why we should not consider the advantages of de-railment...
Otherwise, we'll be discussing more administrative matters like formalizing the regularity of meet-ups and fleshing out focused rationality skills workshops as suggested by one of our attendees.

Meetup : Sydney meetup - Biased pandemic and other games
I was told around 4 or more? We had ~7 people last meeting so I don't see why it would not work. Partially the "other games" bit is because there is an upper limit of how many people can play, so we need to have side activities!

Hey everybody. Deep inside the king street brewery, we plan to bring out rationalist board and card games. This, of course, is a much more social meet-up!
If your still on the fence about showing, Sydney turnout so far is good but could be better! We know you are out there, lurkers.
We have a FB group set up - just search Less wrong Sydney, or PM me with your FB name to add.

Did you guys discuss or are you planning on discussing luke prog's article on procrastination?
Last time we did - and we will probably have some short follow up.

As usual at the king street brew house until someone comes up with something better.
Well, if people want regular, they'll get regular. In addition to capping off the talk about procrastination we had last time with some personal stories, I'm open to suggestions for topics. If nothing is viable in the week leading up to this I'll come up with something.
As a follow up to the meeting last time, the link to the page for Akrasia case studies is available here: http://lesswrong.com/lw/8ug/building_casestudies_of_akrasia/

Should be worth noting that what I thought was the James squire brewhouse is the king street brewhouse, identifiable by numerous blue umbrellas with the blue tounge logo. I'm here now. Also, of anyone could confirm the existence of the "James squire brewhouse, I would be interested.
I'm wearing a blue tie, white shirt and have an IPad propped up with the less wrong logo
