As the great Credit-Game comes to an end I just want to spend a few words in my function as a referree.
The Credit Game was invented in the very first week of our Erasmus period in August. It is so long time ago that i even cannot remember exactly which guys we had been in CRAZY HORSE, where we invented the Game. I m sure there was Sylvus, Edu, Alex, The Lion and me, Gregy.
Just to give you a brief idea what we ve talked about, the conversation was like this:
21:00 The group enters Crazy Horse. It´s the first time those guys go out in Sverige
21:03 The group orders a very cheap beer (19kr) and is happy about this price. "For sure we ll go there every weekend, cause it´s so cheap!" one of them says. General agreement.
21:13 10 min just looking. No conversation. The group is so impressed by the girls
21:23 Another 10 min non-conversation. The group is even more impressed by the girls
21:30 Everyone is happy, even if no one has spoken a word
After this 30min reflection the guys start a conversation:
Sylvus: Hej bastards , why have you chosen Sweden for your Erasmus? I m sure I know....
Alex: I don´t know. I heard there are so many good girls up there. As i m used to fall in love every 4 weeks normally I choose Sweden because I think I can fall in Love here even every 4 Minutes. That´s my main reason
Miguel: You know, I ve heard the girls here like Spanish. And especially spanish with the hair style like I have. So I m sure I would ve good opportunities here. But anyway,I ve a broken heart and can promise that I m not interested in girls anyway.
Edu: Jajajaja. I wanna steal as much as possible here. I ve a special trick to steal telephone numbers. I can show you one time if you want. Sorry,my english is really bad. Let´s drink.
Gregy: I came here because of the beautiful landscape, honestly. I wanna see nice mountains. But Slyvain,why are you here?
Sylvain: (just grinning and looking with his eyes around the pub)
Gregy: OK, guys.You re all fucking bastards. You really came here just for the girls.... I think I m the only serious of us.
Edu: Come on. You don´t look really serious. Let´s drink.
Sylvain: For sure he s also a bastard.
Edu: Anyway, have you seen any good exchange students right now? There s a nice in my corridor. I think I try to steal her number tomorrow and then watch a movie with her.
Alex: Ohhh, I ve fallen in love with an exchange girl. She s so nice.
Miguel: No,they re not interesteing. Swedish or nothing.
Gregy: i don´t know. i ve not seen so much. but i would like to kiss 3 different countries at least
Sylvain: just 3? I think i could manage this in one weekend. You know, all the girls love just me.
Gregy: For sure,Sylvain. we ll see. Why we don´t make a competition?

Anyway, this evening we started to set the rules for the Credit Game. Brave Sylvus and brave Edu started to play the game right on this evening, when they spoke to some cute 18-year old swedish beside us. Although they got no credits it was quite impressive and the starting point for the whole team.
As you all know,the game has it´s origin from the academic ECTS-System. The game is easy to understand, but with a lot of rules. For easy understanding I ve summarized the main information for you on a pocket card.
