Mouse Plural
If we have houses
Why not mouses
If we have mice
Why not hice
I have done extensive research using an ancient computer program called the Wayback Machine.
The truth is there is no such thing as mouse singular. There is never one mouse, they come in families.
If a group is a nest
What about the rest?
The rest are in another nest.
What we have on the ship is what used to be referred to as a house mouse. Ship mouse doesn't rhyme but it will have to do.
The problem I foresee is their breeding. Mice begin breeding when they are 30 days old. Then they have litters. And then back to breeding. In thirty days all the mice in the litter are breeding.
Computer scientists call this an exponential explosion. Look at the graph of an expoential explosion. It's frightening.
If mice go unchecked on the ship, exponentially exploding and eating and eating, we will soon leave post scarcity behind and we'll all be eating mice.
The Wayback Machine mentioned an ancient predator called cats that were used to keep the mice population under control.
I'm not sure what a cat is but apparently humans like cats more than mice. Cats also have litters of kittens so it's competing exponential explosions.
A clowder of cats
makes kindles of kittens
and they're so cute!
I saw pictures on the Wayback Machine and mice are really cute too.
For some reason there are thousands of pictures of cats for every picture of a mouse.
So maybe they won?

We better find out where we can get cats sometime in the next 30 days.

Gamer+ News October 19, 2020
The NEA Game Fest wrapped up yesterday with two interesting events. Sarah, Kier, and Megan gave their personal top 10 board game list discussing each in some detail. Then Kier hosted an online game of Um Actually, a trivia game about all things geek.
So our opening topic for Inspired Unreality tonight will be Online Gaming and Online Conventions. As always we will be in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord at 9:00 PM Central. Open game chat, everyone is welcome, all gaming is on topic. If you're new to Tenkar's Tavern Gamer+ has an invitation for you here.

Another great event at the NEA Game Fest was "Make your own adventures!" hosted by Carl Heyl and featuring panelists, Mike Stewart, Casey Christofferson, and Levi Combs. They discussed the creation of exciting adventures to wow your players and bedazzle your dungeons as well as playtesting, publishing, and marketing.
This panel and the top ten board games discussion were recorded on Zoom and we'll post the links on Gamer+ when we get them.
I posted a blog called "What I Did AT NEA Game Fest", about my personal experience.
