Blame List

This article is about Space Sim Lore. It contains anecdotes or Spacesim mythology. |
The blame list is created by the Sim members of a given year and was a list of members in the order in which to allot blame for a problem. The list was also referred to as A BIT FOO, or as the acronym stands for: Assign Blame in the Following Order Only. In its more recent incarnations, It is more a list of different people, concepts, inside jokes and events to which blame for various problems during the Mission are being put to.
Origin
The blame list started in the 2000-2001 year, under David Owen and Gabrielle Wilson. At that time, the list was simply an in-joke, until the Astronauts used their allocated signing space on the Airlock to write the list down. The same list was continued in the 2001-2002 year, and was referred to constantly during the move to 440 Albert Street. The list remained relatively unchanged throughout that year. Use of the list was discontinued until the 2005-2006 year, when some members found the original list on a piece of Hawking Airlock. After another hiatus, another blame list was created during the 2009-10 Mission.
