Wasn't there a couple discussions about the value of the candle as the "line" between not-playing and playing? I've been playing a bit of card and boardgames recently, and I'm thinking about how the physical procedures to set up and play sort of build a line to cross.

It's interesting because an important difference is that you -have- to put out the candle at some point, whereas cards or a board, you could just leave out when you're done playing. (and now I'm going to go think about fire in terms of rituals and society for a while.)

Huh. Come to think of it, you could leave the candle burning, but you might burn your house down. I kinda like that metaphor.

I'm sure that there were discussions about it, somewhere. It's a useful thing. I want to see it more often.

Especially with the "Fire Bad" philosophy of the ice people :)

Its neat to see symbolic mirroring of fire, time, and creation between the actual people playing at the table and the fictional world.
