If you have ideas for how to play TSW during social distancing, we’d love to hear them

I don’t have money for the game rn, so i’m just guessing, but

you might be able go to specific coordinates & take location-tagged selfies or use a group chat app in those places to play.

Your selfies’ coordinates should be spaced so that when you poke a hole through each of the stars in a picture of your constellation and then take that holey picture and place it over a map, each one of the holes you made should be filled by one of your locations on that map of whatever place

• neighbourhood
  • (yard)
• city
  • (address)
• continent
  • (geo coordinates)
• star system
  • (radial ascent declination)
• universe
  • (toroidal flux attenuatron)

you have in common*.

Taking it 1 step further^:

1. Plot out these points yourself on your favorite map.
2. look up the street addresses on these points.
3. Send a letter to each of these addresses. Your letter should
4. be addressed to a residence
5. invite whoever lives there to play Stars with you
6. include either instructions to play Stars or a link to an address for online play
7. like the link to the reply to this comment that reads “Constellations’ Organized-Online Play (CO-OP)” .
8. be addressed to either the star’s name associated with that address or the word Star or something else like that.

Further beyond:

1. Get on your bike and ride to one of the places you found using the instructions above.
2. Record your thoughts here in a
3. selfie video
4. handwritten letter
5. messaging app
6. sidewalk-chalk drawing outlining and spiralling away from your feet
7. omnichrome phylacteric deflator
8. After you have visited each location:
9. take the instrument with which you recorded all these thoughts
10. seal it in a container
11. tape 3 different colored strips of duct tape to the container.
12. to each strip of tape add a new 1 from a list of the following:
13. the constellation’s name
14. the date your project ended
15. the insignia of your avatar
16. a phrase in a language that isn’t your native one
17. the last food you ate
18. Find a place to leave this container.
19. Live the rest of your life.
20. In your will, write someone’s name, a comma, and then “who always asked to best questions, i leave in your care this container. May it give you more.”
