my name is grompy catte: I guess it inoculates the cheese with some bacterium and the holes are bubbles caused by gas?

Catventurer: TL;DR: Swiss cheese holes are from bacteria farts.
Same as the yeast farts that make bread and beer nice and bubbly.

My absolute favorite by product of yeast farts is Gugelhupf. It's also the only thing that could be erroneously mistaken for a type of fruit cake that I'll willingly eat.

Yes. I did - Post #10: "If Joe doesn't mind that I will be 100% sleeping between what would be 6am and 3pm UK time due to being in California, then sure I'll join."

Anything not between what would be 6am and 3pm UK +/- an hour should be fine.
I'd like to play. As of now, weekday afternoons look far better than weekday mornings or weekends. I get online about 6-8 pm
(and am then online on and off for the next 18 hours) uk time, only it might be 5pm uk time because of daylight savings time.

I'm not sure which time best suits me.

However 10:10 is my favorite because the clock has a smiley face.

Close. Yes, the bubbles are caused by bacteria farts, but to get actual holes, one needs condensation seeds. I.e. dust particles on which the tiny CO2 bubbles collect. When the Swiss dairy industry upgraded their filters for hygienic reasons, suddenly the condensation didn't work anymore. Because there was no dust left in the milk.
Enter that guy I was talking about. He had a small business with precision mills that produced norm dust of different grain sizes for testing vacuum cleaners. (In Germany even the dust has to be normed). He got the idea, that he could sell dust to the dairy industry too. So now he produces herbal dust of just the right grain size, that is added back to the milk after it is filtered, so that the Swiss cheese can get it's characteristic holes.

It can also be a sinister frown!

Carradice: One of these days we have to do one where players shoot themselves and name who should do so next.
avatar
JoeSapphire: Yes we should. I think that version would be more cerebral, and I want this to be trad. chaos, but after the game shall we try and playtest version 2.0? Are you in by the way? I didn't put you on the list yet, but the more the merrier

Sorry I've not been in an organisational mood. What day's good for people this week? Is monday or tuesday doable?
What time would you prefer the game began? Everyone tell me your opinion now and I'll try and find something that works.
Sure, I will give it a try, it will be my first: I'm in

Impressive! And how ultra clean environments detract from the purpose of the installation... Artisan goat shepherds/cheese makers complain that inspectors sometimes want them to have everything so clean that they will not have bacteria to work for them, and if they are producing organically (as they say in Germany, or bio, right? in other countries the term is 'echological") then they might have to add the bacteria artificially, which becomes more expensive for poor shepherds and also they risk losing the bio label.

Also, take care and be better soon

really anytime outside of 3am-11am UK time could be made to work for me, but I will probably be more available during the week vs weekends.
I would prefer if it is time when I am awake and not busy.

Lifthrasil: The cheese dirt thing stufff
This is interesting, I have actually never heard of it. On to the not actual news, did you know about the grand cheese scheme?

Cheese has holes. The more cheese there is, the more holes there are. But! The more holes there are, the less cheese there is. Therefore, the more cheese you buy, the less cheese you actually get!

Any time that is not right now.

Are we good to begin on Tuesday 16th at 5:00 pm gmt?

Give me an AYE if you can.
Give me a RAGE if you can't.
Give me utter silence if you don't care what happens.
