Message to the players



What you should know before using this blog: 

This blog is your blog
Use it as a platform, as a forum, to show off, as a confessionnal, just as you want. 


The blog is public
Anyone can access it. When posting something here, such as a picture or a video of someone, make sure that the persons that can be identified won't have any problem with it.


When posting something:
Write the keyword of the mission first followed by another title if you want to give it one: #Hey my name is....and then your title

Then publish your post and finally write the text of the mission: "from now on...."


I have'nt tested the limits and he possibilities of Blogspot yet, so if there are any problems, we'll find a way...

What the little book is about

The Little book is an experimental game. If this sounds pretty boastful, the idea is very simple and modest.

 
Five little books, were sent to five persons in September 2013 (three in Europe, one in the US and one in Asia). These books consist in five calendars with different missions to be carried out within a specific timeframe. There should be around two missions every month or so and the dates in which they should be carried out are rather flexible: "first week of November," "on a sunny week end in June", etc.

Most of the missions are rather easy to accomplish but can be slightly challenging.  To give an idea, the first of them is: "from now on, each time you enter the shop you visit the most (bakery, café, cafeteria, shopping center) introduce yourself.
Feel free to do that in other shops too".

After completing a mission, the players are asked to "document" what happened, whether they succeeded or not, and if not why. They can document it by taking pictures, making a video, writing something, taping someone... anything within the limits of what blogspot allows us.

What is the point of it? There is no point. Life is a game, this is just another excuse to play.
