While prototyping BogusBanter, I called my father for some feedback on a few ideas I was mulling over and after receiving cleverly unhelpful, but inspiring advice, we began on a tangent that is the topic of this banter.
My grandfather, on my father's side, apparently wrote a humorous document on the topic of absolutely nothing, with the point of bantering to such an extent, with such a lexicon, that the reader was utterly confused as to the meaning. He was a politician after all, a mayor in a small town in Ohio, but anyway, the funny part is, apparently so did my other grandfather, a professor and former lt. governor of Vermont. So it all seems rather serendipitous that here I am launching a game called Bogus Banter. I will post their banters once I get them from my family (and we all know how long that can take... :)
So in honor of this newly exposed family history, this game is dedicated to my three grand fathers, Edward Nile Duppstadt II, Robert Shillingford Babcock, and John David Baker (founder of The Critical Thinking Co.). The charming mayor I never knew, the thoughtful professor who believed in me, and the ethical entrepreneur who helped me to know myself.
