- Heck of a day: 4P 1830 (won), 4P 1856, 3P 1830 (snatched defeat from easy victory). Sadly the 1873 we'd setup & planned didn't happen. #18xx #
- @smok Yeah, four #18xx from Friday eve to Sat Eve was pretty sweet. Not really a games day tho, just happenstance, not planned. in reply to smok #
- @jdludlow Four #18xx counting Friday's 1873. We didn't 1873 on Sat as timing and people were both off. Damned shame. I'll be making a copy. in reply to jdludlow #
- @neilhimself Thank you for the pointer to Liyi Brunner. I've read no better tale of the sweet desperation of living this year. in reply to neilhimself #
- @gilhova Your relationships with women are colourless and never your fault? in reply to gilhova #
- @andsoerinsaid Is your copy of 1850 a) from DTG, b) fully laminated, & c) already cut? in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @andsoerinsaid I've no concern on it being, err, previosly enjoyed. There are no game consumables. Just interested in componentry in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- Urk. My timeline is filling with random tweets. #twitterfail #
- @andsoerinsaid Thanks. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @gamesonthebrain Indonesia for Heroscape? That's one heck of a deal. Well done! #
- Slept in till 17:00. Quiet house. So grateful. Tomorrow there can be noise, but not today. Today I sleep, I muse, I dream, I digest. Ahh. #

- @gilhova Because the Twitter default is public-broadcast and the FB-default (was) audience-restricted. FB has inverted its control-space. in reply to gilhova #

- @andsoerinsaid If there's one thing I can't stand, its intolerance. And discriminating extremism. And people who can't count. So there! in reply to andsoerinsaid #

- @dafair @ingredientx @GamesOnTheBrain I gave up on family-fare some years back. Too twee. There's good stuff there, but unsatisfying. #
- @GamesOnTheBrain: Sturgeon's Law? #
- @andsoerinsaid: I'm going to be different, just like all those other people over there. (Bahh, teenagers) #
- @ingredientx: If you considered that players were (largely) predictable, would that change your view? #
- @ingredientx: Understood. Not a problem, not uncommon, but not something I share. W/o the player-prediction problem, I wouldn't play games. #
- @andsoerinsaid: Without the other-player problem, games seem just mental-masturbation. I don't solo-game. Not interested. #
- Buy where you shop: http://is.gd/5sKBT Feedback loops, implied services and eating your own dogfood. #
- @jdludlow Quite right. Basic life principle: Don't take without giving at lest as much. in reply to jdludlow #
- @jdludlow We're playing 1873 tonight & tomorrow. Nyahh. #toodamnedlucky #18xx in reply to jdludlow #
- #avatar: Lots of flash, lots of plot holes, mostly incoherent, not much plot or thought. Oh, & lil" blue tits instead of wang. #
- @scottredracecar 1873 is soon to be published. Hpefully in the final revision now. Some comments in my session geeklist. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #

- Looks like there's a bus on fire by the 85/Bascom southbound on-ramp. #
- @thisdarkpen Aye, there are no always-win #18xx recipes which don't involve others also making crashing blunders. in reply to thisdarkpen #
