[The discussion was launched on November 20th – December 19th, 9PC (2016 vulg.) and later as developped through 10PC it felt into acrimonious splits amongst the Union of Data Miners and Psychic Workers (DAMTP) over member‘s participation in 2017 3SF World Cup and divisions over its alleged artistic co-option. In defence of triolectics in July, 10PC (2017 vulg.) there was established LUnatic Fringe for Triolectics (LUFT) faction]

Letrist worker - a quantum of thanks to you and all for DAMTP16 - taking the text on "a line for a walk" is a genius way of describing the aleatorical wanderings of the goalpost game.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the 2017 Three Sided Football World Cup has been confirmed for August 2017 (18th to 21st) as part of the parallel events of the Kassel Documenta (the final day will be held in the Kassel FC stadium). It is being organised by Dynamo Windrad - the team from Germany who came to the last World Cup in Silkeborg.

In parallel with the Tournament we would like there to be a week long Festival of Situationist Gaming (provisional title) from August 14th to 21st. (The word gaming in English has many connotations - one of the most enjoyable and appropriate being “to use the rules and procedures meant to protect a system in order, instead, to manipulate the system" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_the_system ). 

We are hoping that Players of the Game from around the world will unite in Kassel to foment a kind of cultural jam session - an Experimental Laboratory - “to begin exploring the possible functions of a society in which leisure is a dominant fact, and in which the conventional assumptions about reality and the constraints which they imply are no longer operative, in which art and life are no longer divided.” - Trocchi - The invisible Insurrection (http://www.notbored.org/invisible.html )

Dear Fellow Workers,

Thank you for your hospitality in hosting us for the 2nd Worldcup 3-sided football

We want to make some points about this event - and some suggestions to you on the organisation

the internationalist, progressive and socialist spirit of the rosecrucian manifestos published in

kassel 400 years ago is today evident in a wholly corrupted and reactionary form of the european union.  coming from london at a time of brexitted degeneration of this corrupted dream we  write to you with the benefit of our industrial union of psychic,  reproductive and destructive non-workers formed by some of those who have been developing the form of 3 sided football since the very first time it was publicly played in 1993.

Firstly we must discuss the association with documenta which is undeniable and cannot be ignored.

as you may know documenta, like the proto EU of ECSC, was started after the defeat of the national socialist party  in order to address the banning and burning of much progressive and innovative

psychic production in germany at the time. it took the agenda of forwarding moderninst and avantgarde art. however this orientation showed then and still shows its neo-liberal agenda.

neoliberalism is the motor of the capitalist war machine that continues to decimate the planet through capitalist  gentrification and ethnic cleansing of the cities and all the planet, through climate change, species genocide,

in solidarity with the g20 mobilisation we suggest a statement from yourselves distancing the event

from the neoliberal art agenda of documenta.

secondly the idea of a world cup itself is problem for a few reaons:

The vast majority of teams in the silkebourg cup were european. it was thus a very eurocentric idea of the world. furthermore the world cup format promotes nationalist consciousness. even regional organisations do the same.

whoever wins in this world cup will promote national consciousness. this would be true even for the refugee team - already the myth of a progressive germany that champions refugees serves only to justify the european neo imperial machinations across the world and of course in europe itself and at its borders as frontex stage manages the murder of thousands in the mediteranian sea.

we therefore suggest that the scoring of the game break completely from the 1-sided method of linear counting of conceded goals leading to elimination finals. there are various ways we could do this. one alternative is to adopt the triolectical scoring methods that have been developed by the Luther Blissett London League

https://strategicoptimismfootball.wordpress.com/2017/06/05/triolectical-league-tables-luther-blissett-deptford-3-sided-football-league-9ap-2016-17-vulg/

alternatively we could simply decide that all teams would be declared joint winners before hand.

Finally we want to make the choice plain – between the past, present or future – between name, nation or situation – betweeen aristocracy, bourgeois or proletariat: this triolectical situation is engendered by 

1 national socialism and the empires of east and west,

2 the neoliberism and its recuperation of the rosecrucians and situationists or

3 the realisation of the impossible: international revolution

we come to play: not to win or to lose but to overturn the spectacle through the creation of a new situation.
