I've been thinking for ages that it would be fun to play a game of
Csound consequences on the message board. In essence, it would be one
giant open collaboration. Anyone ever done that before? Here's how I
envisage the rules:

We have a single .csd which we take it in turns to add instruments and
score statements to.

Anyone can take a turn at any time, there will be no particular order
or amount of players.

Each turn you take, you can add up to one of each of the following:

 - Instrument definition (with all ftables, global variables and UDOs needed)
 - Effects bus instrument definition
 - i Score statement for any instrument already included in the project
 - Any other score statement besides i
 - (Possible extra rule) You can add an extra output to a pre existing
instrument if you wish to use the signal in your own instrument
definition, but it must not interfere with the original instrument

All opcodes must be from the standard Csound set, so no STK's or
anything that requires a special build of Csound, to make sure any
Csounder of any level can join in.

Any samples used must be attached with the updated .csd, and might
have to be legally re-distributable I guess?

Besides that, it's open to whatever, any instrument, any style, any
mish-mash of scales and temperaments, any tempo changes.... Whatever
you want. At the end, we could end up with a masterpiece of stylistic
fusion, or a horrible experimental monster!

Anyone in?
