Would be glad of some help brainstorming different general categories of end effects (grouped by "coping mechanism"). Here's what I can come up with off the top of my head (Corrections, additions and clarifications welcome) Type: Dances where you pull by along the set or do things with one neighbor after another Rule: At the ends, when you don't have a neighbor, treat your partner like your neighbor Rule: If you have to pass by shadows to get back to your partner, go the long way at the ends -- don't try to cut the corner Type: Things on the diagonal Rule: If there's no one there, stay put and *keep dancing -- you're not out yet* Type: Shadow is also neighbor Rule: Know that Shadow will fill both roles Type: spit out temporarily (with partner, neighbor or shadow) and then come back in Rule: Dance with ghosts _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
