Conflict Resolution

**Bubblegum Crisis** Cyberpunk superhero action. You are the Knight Sabers, a mysterious team of vigilantes that stalks MegaTokyo and battles rogue cyberdroids the authorities can't handle. Equipped with secret technology, your powered armour suits and transforming robotic motorcycles give you a fighting chance against the deadliest combat machines created by the sinister Genom Corporation – your skill, bravery and teamwork enable you to win. **Royal Blood** They are: the Major Arcana, more concept than real. As the queens, gods, and bosses of this city, their power excedes all imagination. You are:the Minor Arcana, as much human as magic. Minor gangsters, nobles and jesters, demigods and monsters alike, your powers are limited to what you can scrape together in a pinch. Still, limitation breeds innovation. Tonight is: the heist of a lifetime, a chance to steal the heart from a god, and in turn, become one as well. Have a care not to lose yourself along the way. **The Social Season Disaster!** The Merchant Vessel SS Lady Luck has sunk in the Indian Ocean. It will only be a matter of time before Society finds out about your family's crippling financial loss! Only an advantageous marriage can save your fortunes. You and your siblings must charm and connive your way through the marriage mart. For necessity? For love? Survive intrigue and gossip as you aim for the very top of high society- before your reputations would be ruined forever! WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

Influence, intrigue, and combat in the universe of Dune. Difficulty: Medium - rules will be explained **PLEASE keep an eye on your messages as I may need to message you. You will need to reply within 24 hours or potentially lose your place.** Dune: Imperium is a game that finds inspiration in elements and characters from the *Dune* legacy, both the new film from Legendary Pictures and the seminal literary series from Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson. As a leader of one of the Great Houses of the Landsraad, raise your banner and marshal your forces and spies. War is coming, and at the center of the conflict is Arrakis – Dune, the desert planet. *Dune: Imperium* uses deck-building to add a hidden-information angle to traditional worker placement. You start with a unique leader card, as well as a deck identical to those of your opponents. As you acquire cards and build your deck, your choices will define your strengths and weaknesses. Cards allow you to send your Agents to certain spaces on the game board, so how your deck evolves affects your strategy. You might become more powerful militarily, able to deploy more troops than your opponents. Or you might acquire cards that give you an edge with the four political factions represented in the game: the Emperor, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the Fremen. Unlike many deck-building games, you don’t play your entire hand in one turn. Instead, you draw a hand of cards at the start of every round and alternate with other players, taking one Agent turn at a time (playing one card to send one of your Agents to the game board). When it’s your turn and you have no more Agents to place, you’ll take a Reveal turn, revealing the rest of your cards, which will provide Persuasion and Swords. Persuasion is used to acquire more cards, and Swords help your troops fight for the current round’s rewards as shown on the revealed Conflict card. Defeat your rivals in combat, shrewdly navigate the political factions, and acquire precious cards. The Spice must flow to lead your House to victory! (Description from BoardGameGeek) Price: $110 First-timers, or people I haven't met before, will be asked to confirm their booking. I'll message you with details after your RSVP. **You need to reply within 24 hours to keep your spot.** No outside food is allowed at the venue. It is also a shoes-off venue. No-show and lateness: anyone not showing up, dropping out on the day or late the night before or being late a number of times without good reason may be blacklisted from my future games.

**CLEAR MIND: One Day Silent Retreat with Gen Kelsang Tonglam** **Meditations will be guided in English.** **Sunday 22 March 11:30am – 5:30pm** Treat Yourself to a Day of Peace! Switch off your phone and take a break from your daily activities, gain a taste of retreat by spending a day in this blessed environment in the heart of the city. Normally we are constantly distracted by external objects, frenetic activities, disquiet thoughts and idle chit chat. Our mind is scattered and our experience of the spiritual path remains superficial. Observing silence is a powerful method to disengage us from this busyness and it leads us naturally to deeper levels of being. On this one-day silent retreat, we will learn to quiet our mind through meditation, and come to discover its true nature, clarity, and thereby experience a deep sense of inner peace. Fee: $220. More info & to book: https://www.meditation.hk/2021/en/portfolio-item/clear-mind/ #modernbuddhism

This is a regular Bring-Your-Own-Book session, where participants share and present to the group non-fiction books they have read. New members are welcome to attend to listen to and discuss the presentations of others. Usually a meeting takes around 2.5-3 hours. During this time we discuss 2 different books, roughly 1 hour per book. Any non-fiction material: a book, documentary, or lecture or a part of it - anything with a title and an author and that contains some coherent ideas. Each presentation includes a summary of a book (15-40 min) and discussion (accordingly). The meeting will be either in a park or in a coffee shop, on HK side. The exact place to be confirmed with the attendees **by WhatsApp only**. I will / have sent the link to the WhatsApp group, please use the link. Introvert friendly. We have people from different countries, so while books can be in any language, the language of the meeting is English. There is a fee of 20 HKD for the first timers to help funding the Meetup membership needed to run the group. Do not hit "Attend" if you are not going to attend. If you RSVPed, but there is anything preventing you from going to the meeting, remember to tell the host as soon as possible and/or update the RSVP - before the RSVP is closed, to give other people a chance to take your spot. But if you plan to attend, do hit "Attend", please :))) No-shows are all silently noted with much disapproval and will be removed from the group.

**You need to register in the below link to attend the meetup** **NOTE: This meetup is exclusive and the final list of attendees is at the discretion of the host. You will receive an invitation via email before the meetup date.** We are delighted to announce that our next meetup will be in cooperation with **aeonea** . Special thanks to our sponsor, **aeonea**, for making this event happen. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Speaker 1:** Gautier Marti **Topic:** Detecting Evasive Answers in Financial Q&A with NLP and Large Language Models **Summary:** Earnings calls and other financial Q&A sessions are a critical source of information for investors, yet executives often respond evasively without explicitly lying. This talk presents recent research, led by Khaled Al Nuaimi, on evasive answer detection as a standalone NLP task, distinct from sentiment or factuality. Gautier will introduce psychology-informed taxonomies of evasiveness, annotated datasets covering earnings calls and central bank press conferences, and both lightweight and large-model-based detection approaches. He will also discuss how recent benchmark efforts, including work by researchers based in Hong Kong, are shaping large-scale evaluation, and why automated detection of evasive language matters for transparency, market analysis, and downstream financial NLP applications. **Bio:** Gautier Marti is a quantitative researcher with experience in equity statistical arbitrage and credit trading strategies. He has a strong background in machine learning and its applications to alpha research. Alongside his professional work, Gautier actively follows and experiments with advanced research to evaluate its practical impact on portfolio performance. He also mentors several PhD students on topics including modern NLP and multimodal techniques for finance, explainability of trading models, and forecasting using large language models and network-based approaches. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Speaker 2 :** Yizhi Song **Topic:** Deep Tangency Portfolio **Summary:** This talk introduces a deep learning framework for estimating tangency portfolio weights by augmenting benchmark factors with a long–short deep factor learned from high-dimensional firm characteristics. The deep factor is optimized to maximize Sharpe ratio, hedging benchmark risks while capturing nonlinear signals across multiple markets. Applied to U.S. corporate bonds using 132 firm-level characteristics spanning bond, equity, and option data, the resulting deep tangency portfolio achieves an out-of-sample Sharpe ratio above 2 when benchmarked to the market factor, outperforming portfolios based on common observable or latent factors. The results suggest that bond risk premia are dense and require nonlinear, multi-market integration to effectively span the efficient frontier. **Bio:** Yizhi Song is a Quantitative Researcher at Squarepoint Capital in Hong Kong, where he focuses on systematic fixed income strategies. He holds a PhD in Empirical Asset Pricing from City University of Hong Kong (2024), with research applying statistical methods and machine learning to asset pricing. Yizhi also earned an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University and a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
