i have a more freeform thought process that has been integrated well
1. go near a group
2. wave a hello
3. initiate headpats
4a. they didn't like it, disengage from the target and try again with someone else
4b. they liked it, continue to headpat the target
or if you're feeling chatty
1. walk up to a group
2. wave a hello to the group and say "hi"
3. take a spot in the circle where you don't block anyone's viewpoint
4. listen in on conversation until you know what is being discussed
5a. you don't know the topic, either keep listening for topic change or find a new group
5b. you know the topic, wait for people to finish their turn and find a opening to throw in your 2 cents on the topic
5b => 6. keep listening and wait until at least 2 turns have passed for someone else than you
7. wait until people have finished their turns and look for an opening to throw in your 2 cents if the topic is still something you know
translators note: if you're confident in your humor throwing a joke in instead of your 2 cents is acceptable
