Final Game Presentation Time. I thought some of the presentations were very good, but a few were very weak. I thought a few of the game ideas were interesting as well, although none jumped out at me in a "Ooo, I want to play that!" way. I did like the squid, drink-roulette, and changing game board idea.
The Vote happens and I'm chosen as a leader. (For the record, I didn't vote for myself.)
I choose Sally Awad, Matt Hartman, and Natalie Mieles; I think I did well.

We gather and start talking about the game I presented, a multi-player Tower Defense board game, although I point out that if the others aren't interested, I'm more than willing to talk about other game ideas. Leader doesn't equal tyrant, after all, and it is a class about collaboration.
Natalie and Sally seem to like the Tower Defense idea, but Matt seems resistant. We discuss some other ideas. Matt likes one I threw away, "Candy Land Invasion." Perhaps we can reintegrate some of the ideas behind it.
We share our contact info with each other, and I email a copy of it to all of us.
We discuss opportunities for working on the game out of class, but are unable to come up with something that works very well for all of us. I think we all had early Sunday afternoons free. Unfortunately, both Natalie and Sally have long commutes. We talk about communicating a bit more online or using Google+'s new chat feature (I think it's called Hangouts).
