Sorry to bring religion into it already
But according to the Karaite movement in Judaism (it's not a martial art, I looked it up) there are examples of discrimination against their people, and those who indulged in the BC equivalent of gaming, from times pre-dating the formation of monotheistic faith.

I found out the basics of this through a kosher friend of mine, and chased up the rest on Wiki. There are transcripts in religious texts of secret gatherings based around primitive forms of entertainment in which the members competed against each other in what would today be called roleplaying. Not the filthy kind. Like D&D. But before they had religion, they used to calculate the equivalent of rolls using sticks which would be stamped upon; whoever broke their brittle wood into the most pieces won.

This is probably the earliest example I've ever heard of Pre-Jew Dice.

Ha - got me, bastard.
I'm off B3at until after the election, just dropping in as and when I need to restore my sanity. Not posting though - keep it up, old chap.
