This is a page for discussion of tactics and strategies employed by TheUnitySociety. Currently, these seem to boil down to:
- When an evil, otherworldly threat is encountered, leap into immediate discussion.
- Eventually come up with a plan that is unanimously deemed to be the worst one conceivable. Dub this Plan Z, to allow for up to twenty-five better plans that will surely follow.
- Conceive of an even worse plan. Dub this Plan Z'.
Repeat for plans Z'' and Z'''
- Give up on planning, and go with Plan Z
<<< and then ... >>>
- Start plan Z and realise it can't work owing to not having a suitable syringe to inject the ooze with
- have immediate discussions about alternatives
- Decide there is not alternative and so make jokes about exploding boilers
<<< -- MikePitt >>>
<<< no, no, no. It goes like this: >>>
Start plan Z and realise it can't work. Demote to plan Z''''.
Realise actions have ruled out plans Z', Z'' and Z'''
Discuss best naming scheme for new plans. Agree to name next plans Z''''+ and Z''''++
- Discuss briefly how one would auto-increment a plan.
- Realise discussion is pointless.
- Continue discussion. Admonish selves.
Discuss possibilities for plans Z''''+ and Z''''++.
- Realise no such plans can exist
- Have immediate discussions about alternative universes in which they could.
- Discuss best naming scheme for new universes. Invent operator U(p) mapping plans to universes where they are possible.
- Realise discussion is pointless.
- Continue discussion. Admonish selves.
Realise that there is no possible universe U(Z'''')
- Admonish selves futher
- Discuss etymology of word "Admonish". decide "Chasten" is a better word
- Chasten selves.
- Realise that self-chastening, while deserved, is unproductive.
- Return to discussion of plan naming schemes. Decide plus symbol represents typographic dagger and not addition, thereby avoiding further incrementor jokes.
Realise a solution was obvious all along. Dub solution plan Z''''+++
Execute plan Z''''+++
Realise flaws in plan Z''''+++ were obvious all along; most especially the evil, otherworldly threat which it spawns.
- return to start.
