Amusing concept

[baronlaw]

Those of you familiar with "Magic: The Gathering", I need card info for the following ideas:

"Meeting: The Boring"

Presentation of DOOM!
PowerPoint Attack
OCD Middle Manager
Clueless VP
Unexpected CEO visit
Donut induced Coma
Budget Reports

etc etc

We've all attended endless meetings, now let's make it into a game!

"Co-worker who Rambles Interminably, and Goes On and On Without Ever Stoppi..." (oops ran out of room for the title on the card!)

The counter-card to that could be called "Put a Period On It!".

"Analysis Paralysis".

Something for the situation where someone needs to give a presentation, but nobody can make their laptop display through the projector. Needs a catchy title.

"All Dry-Erase Markers Missing". (Renders whiteboard unusable.)

Stop your enemy's actions with "Forgot laptop power cord"!

Something for the situation where someone needs to give a presentation, but nobody can make their laptop display through the projector. Needs a catchy title.

How about "What We Have Here Is a Failure to Communicate"?

Double geek bonus score for using Cool Hand Luke reference!

Dry Erase Board could be a bonus item, but negated by the "missing markers" card.

Start a turn by drawing your appointments from Outlook for the day, spending Budget counters, and enacting your Action phase. The Action phase can consist of initiating new Proposals, Vetoing your opponents' proposals, and deploying Minions.

Minions being "monsters" from the old game?

[baronlaw]

Excellent!

QUOTIDIAN

The role-playing game of daily life

(aka Papers and Paychecks, Third Edition)

[reddheart]

Hmmm...

"Annoying External Customer" - The card that disallows the use of any card involving internal information that the customer is not supposed to know (like certain forms of Budget Reports)

"Iron Eyelid" (who hasnt' felt this at some point?)

"Potty Emergency" (self explanatory)

"Offsite Meeting" Could be some sort of up-motivator?

[reddheart]

OH, and something to the effect of "Overused Business Catchphrase".

[baronlaw]

"We've got to leverage this new technology to induce a paradigm shift in our SOA practices."

Groan

[digitalsidhe]

Can I have a side order of synergy with that, please?
