iGRAZ: Game Epiphanies :: Graffity Tic-tac-toe

Against the law, paper and pencil game took the CHAlleNGE to become wall and spray game.

Against the rules, „O“ started first.

A game unfinished, but with clear outcome.

iGRAZ: GAMe ≡ GAMbling Epiphanies :: Spielsucht :: Spielverbot :: Spielraum

In my parallel universe where words are subject to multiple contextualisations resulting in different connotation, “Spielsucht”¹ sets free butterflies in my stomach, 

where “Spielverbot ” ² gives me goosebumps. 

Though being fully aware of the dictionary meaning of the both words and the reason for their circulation in the local social and urban environment, I fail to comprehend why Spiel (=game)+verbot (=ban) is surrounded with visually dominating chessboard pattern. 

A game board with a game ban gives some Spielraum ...

¹ “Spielverbot ” means “gambling ban”

² “Spielsucht” stand for “gambling addiction”

Spending quality time with a bottle of wine

Some days ago a wine bottle flashed at me from a shop window. 

This encounter really deserves my blog label “Game Epiphanies”. It brings together my fascination with wine, patterns, games, and hidden messages.

Thanks to Mrs. Regina Triebaumer from Weingut Günter u. Regina Triebaumer, the missing threes were found:

TRIE is a nickname for Triebaumer, if to be translated, means THREE TREES.

TRIE ROT consists of THREE WINE VARIETIES. Mainly Zweigelt and additionally Cabernet Sauvignon and St. Laurent.

And tic-tac-toe was also in mind, when the label was designed. Though the the Xs and Os are some kind of placeholders, the tic-tac-toe is involved as it ends up with THREE again. In German it is even called DREI gewinnt (EN: THREE wins).

3X3 (but also 3x4) game grid is to be recognized in the label design, perfect prerequisite for tic-tac-toe (or THREE in a row).

I shifted the original roles and turned the letters into placeholders, apart of the O in ROT. THREE game situations are to be recognized in the label design, X wins in two of them and one the games ends in a draw. Bellow are the original label configuration and the game situations I discovered in the THREE ROT label.

A truly CHAlleNGING GAME experience. I guess I can call this

CDoupbles :: Mission with a vision and game epiphanies in Graz

P.S. And it happened here:

In front of an impressive church with an astonishing priest, St. Andrä Church (st-andrae-graz.at/) in Graz and its priest Hermann Glettler. Eine Kirche als Austragungsort zeitgenössischer Kultur.

P.S.2 The place made me  susceptive obviously. One of the windows of the church is also one of the reason:

Selective focusing in Estremoz.

Patterns recognition for metaphorical demonstration of behavioral patterns.

Some examples of

being on top

as a major reason to loose.

“X” always sits on the

bottom,

with its first move.

“O” always

being on top

with its first move,

is the trump for “X”

to win in any of these game situations.

A Sunday presque vu (once I have to go back to the central square of Estremoz) and its prequels: 

Tummelplatz,Graz // Sw. Marcin street, Poznan= the hundreds of game fields

P.S. After posting this, a thought occurred to me: did I played again in front of a religious building (the Capela Nosso Senhor dos Inocentes)? 
So another Sunday presque vu: Dadissuasori: http://challengedgames.blogspot.co.at/2015/01/cdoupbles-dadissuasori.html
