okay I've made my introduction post, thanks for everything, here's hoping the best for the community there

Hi I'm a Game Designer (tabletop and videogames) and if the ownership of the board games community is up for grabs, I'm cool with keeping watch over it. One of my favorite games is Wingspan which isn't solarpunk but definitely is ecological and educational.

I'm thinking a good way to invigorate the community is to encourage discussions on board game design as well that way people in the solar punk community can support making environment and ecology themed game projects together. I can leverage my experience in this way.

But the main question is if most people end up using the community for general boardgames discussion is that considered alright? Most board games aren't solarpunk oriented and many of them might even have anti-ecological themes (ex. most natural resource management games, think Settlers of Catan).

Though it's not neon blue and more of a blackberry black, I thought Blue Raspberry was based on the flavor of Rubus leucodermis, the Whitebark Raspberry which grows in the Pacific Northwest?

This reminds me about how network traffic worked in a book called "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson (author of Cryptonomicon, and Snow Crash). In the book they described every device or application being a node and packets were routed through random nodes until they were pieced back together at their destination. That there was no central routing in these cases. It was a plot point because it's noted how difficult it is to track messages in this kind of networking. I'm not sure I'm remembering it correctly but it's a neat idea.
