Cardinal Puff
-
Have any of you played Cardinal Puff? According to my first experience with "Cardinal Puff", I am supposed to be a card carrier (apparently there was supposed to be a book, etc.). What that means is that I was better at the game than the person who introduced it to me and was still standing after we were finished (~1976). Funny thing, the guy who introduced it to me drank almost a six pack before getting past round 1. He did get past that round, but I cannot remember what round he fell out of his chair. It is a very simple game requiring only, one proviso, that the anybody participating in the game be toasted (drunk) before they start. The reason for this is that it is so simple that even someone seeing double can play it. But it does require the ability to remember and follow instructions precisely. I did a quick look up and found something close to what we played, the only difference is that they left out the part where it is up to the Cardinal to decide what moves to make. The 1, 2, 3 is correct and normal, but the (current) Cardinal can change it at any time. It still has to be 1, 2, 3 and etc., but the order can change at the Cardinal's whim.

Once an INTP, always an INTP. :) And as another INTP, I'm surprised you played this. And just as surprised, though I suppose I shouldn't be, that an adult person actually dreamt all this up. And that there's a Wiki dedicated to such things!

:laugh: I forgot about that INTP stuff. It is still true, although I do not act like Spock as much as I use to. I still have problems with people on occasion. For some reason I keep falling back into the assumption that people will think about what you actually said, before translating it into what they were expecting you to say. I remember warning a group of people about a question I was going to ask (to prove a point), before asking it. When I ask the question (which I warned them about), I still had a couple of people in the group wanting to tier may head off - which proved the point I was trying to make. Another time I was talking to a friend about the Big Bang theory and a guy I knew, sitting on the next stool, raised an objection to our conversation on religious grounds. My friend moved to the far end of the bar to avoid a confrontation (the guy was known for violent tendencies). That left it up to me to calm him down and explain that God could have started it all and that even the Pope agreed that the theory may be valid. Why can't, so called, normal people have a conversation on any subject without getting overly emotional? I am sure that is why a drifted toward programming and why I get irritated with those that do not know the difference between passing by value and passing by location (pointer). I want to say I am sorry for getting so long winded in my answer, but, as a fellow INTP you should understand.

Same here :sigh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
