literally, my thought designing this party was "i love rationalists, but i dont wanna go to another party where they just talk about stuff like global trade. i'm gonna try to design a situation where there's no possible way they will talk about global trade"

once i threw a party for the bay area rationalists, and the rules to attend were you had to be wearing a full-face coverage mask, and be naked. Many came; they all bravely stripped, donned weird masks... and then proceeded to sit in a polite circle and debate global trade.

alternatively: don't tell the non-rats who the other non-rat(s) are. at the end, they have to guess who the other non-rat(s) are. whoever they pick wins.
