"Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other." Marquis De Sade (1740-1814)
The translation does not carry the sexually orgasmic connotation that the French holds, in addition to the idea of taking pleasure in something: Joy in Jeu!'

The afore mentioned nouvelle ´pata-physicienne, Soeur Ubu, highlights a certain social life and mediated art sets as a game with a Real Gamer contrainte, a bondage. The concept of restraint is pur-loined from the group Oulipo, the legendary garage for the potentionalities (potentates) in literature, but as ouXpo in all other fields of life as well. Some ludic socialites appropriated the practice of the ouvroir in society chapters for self-determined lust-oriented ´gamish´ work. To elude the illusionary and overcome the illusion of an all-life life-long playing society, the contrainte is not a limitation, but an intentionally chosen poetic rule of play in ´Ludistik´. Sticking to the mercurial thiev-ishness as a massively Real Player authenticator obviously constitutes the first contrainte of the hereby entered distincted level of LS Real Plays. The second rule arrogates breaking the rules itself, a concept exemplarily exercised in GTA San Andreas as a seminal life model. To the ´patabiker in GTA, the monowheel appears as the most desirable vehicle to be driven. Just as in standard real life it can be significantly more easily obtained by cheats. If following the hereby opened potential pata-spiral of retorsion thinking, where each step grounds the power of the next one, the rules of pure observation of games, as common in ludology and narratology, are broken in ludics like a stiff bike frame (Jarry's cadre) in a race.

Text? Sometimes stiffness is desired, as in certain moments in life or in the play with bachelor machines or in the focus of ´pataphysics on the production of texts and other objects of attention, although very playful ones, if you think of the low-techly appealing pataphon. But if the passion of Jesus is considered as an uphill bicycle race, each passion ride must be taken with a firm grip! The nouvelle ´pataphysicienne Rose Selavy takes white to play and win, du(cha)mps the atomic elements of the crashed ´patabike finally for a self-sufficiently rotating monowheel, and then stitches glitches together on a ludic bread board. The ludic socialites of the known Ludic Society Chapter Vienna (Jahrmann/ Moswitzer/ Savicic), actually involved in a new series of objets célibataires, call their processing drawings and later also fully dressed and equipped printed circuit boards, ´pataboards.

Ludics, as a distinctive branch of ludology prescribes Friedrich Nietzsche´s dictum of the gay science, "gaya scienza" stated in "Joke, Cheating and Revenge"(1882). “List, Lust and Ludus” playing and cheating (=”List” in german) are enjoyed as a ludic methodology of search! Joy in Jeu by cheat!
