Suggest you all go to McDonald's.
There's nothing that gets people to immediately shoot down an idea and suggest something else quite like the prospect of a Big Mac.
* Anyone can veto a suggestion, but they must suggest an alternate restaurant (that has not already been vetoed) instead.
This rule is gameable. A bad faith participant could veto a restaurant and suggest a patently horrible one and then rely on someone else to veto that and do the work to come up with a good suggestion. But there is a meta-rule here which is:
* Don't be friends with people who would do that.
I prefer the "no revisiting" rule because it places backpressure on participants to not veto unless they really meann it. If they really would be OK with the restaurant such that they would allow revisiting it, then they probably shouldn't veto in the first place.
This tends to make the game go faster, which is an important goal.
> * Don't be friends with people who would do that.
Lol, I think this is actually very generalizable for.. many rules. Pretty good call.
So he had 8hrs sleep and a name.
That strategy didn’t work well for Jeff Bezos, who went with “Cadabra” for a few months, which he admits is a terrible name (cadavra).
PS I'm almost always open for McDonald's lunch, so that one isn't going to encourage me to give a good idea. Not eating at Jack in the Box though, would rather starve, thanks.
