- @endgameoakland Please hold Container 2nd Shipment for me? I've credit to cover it. #
- More sensical than most arguments. RT @hnshah:very pragmatic argument on why the iPad can't use Flash: http://bit.ly/9DTLR3 /via @yongfook #
- @BrenoKummel I almost always plan to buy a diesel out of pocket in 1830 — and yes, it can be quite profitable #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- 18io is becoming impressive. Probably not great, possibly flawed and critically narrow, but still impressive. #18xx #
- @andsoerinsaid I'm thankful you are not hurt. Luck out there. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @andsoerinsaid I have seen revolting navels and attractive navels. It much more has to do with the person bearing the navel than anything. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- In Disobedient Rooms: On J.G. Ballard: http://tr.im/PR9J (Ballard was central to my adolescent struggles with maturity & world-view). #

- @dafair: Player count? More is longer. Safe bet: you won't finish. I'd wager 20-30 hours for 18C2C until you're all >3 plays in. #18xx in reply to dafair #
- @dafair: Avoid west coast, east is good, always redeem, privatise before destinating, get good company pairs, beware Amtrack & ConRail #18xx in reply to dafair #
- Y! Messenger for iPhone reliably does background/push, unlike IM+ which times out. Also handles multiple-logins better. #

- @jdhuntington http://tr.im/NIhE 75 white, 100 red, 77 green, 50 black, 26 purple for a $20K bank with clean splits at $8K/10/12/20K #18xx in reply to jdhuntington #
- @jdhuntington Actually I ordered a few more of each colour to have as spares. One white arrived shattered, so this was a Good Idea. #18xx in reply to jdhuntington #
- @jdhuntington Err, and that's 25 purple, not 26. I'll get some pics up soon-ish (very backlogged). #18xx in reply to jdhuntington #
- @jdhuntington Lastly, beware that ProGen 80s without stickers can be broken with only moderate force. Losses are guaranteed. #18xx in reply to jdhuntington #
- Hummingbirds are nesting by the front door again: http://twitpic.com/12mrm8 #
- @andsoerinsaid: You think 40yr old software engineers don't throw temper tantrums like two-year olds with too much sugar? Ha! I wish. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- Lack of personal bandwidth sucks, and yet is the only life-state I really enjoy. Somehow this contradiction is supposed to be poetic? #

- @BrenoKummel I thought France was fine, & not nearly as easy as its beginner description suggests. Italy was too chaotic for my taste. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid I suspect it will, but really only if you've no need to run local applications or do heavy data entry. #iPad in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @BrenoKummel AoS:Germany is good. Well worth it. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Aye, AoS:Holland is good too. Tell me what you think of AoS:Sun/London some time. I suspect London will work well for you. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Are you up to printing your own AoS maps? I could throw a few of my later designs at you. They're not small changes. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Which version did you print? My PDFs are correctly scaled if printed unscaled. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @clearclaw BTW: How much AoS have you played? in reply to clearclaw #
- @BrenoKummel If it was one of my PDFs from BGG, just make sure you print with no scaling. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel AoS:London will kill you if you don't really grok when to use other's track. For AoS:Sun you have to grok auction control. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Nice stats. Give me a shout in another dozen or so games and I'll give you a crack at my maps. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Yeah I'll play HT eventually. Several local fans. It seems very tactical though. Not a fan of 10 ways to make VPs games either. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Now I have them stashed somewhere….(AoS maps — actually know where, but need to re-verify versioning etc) in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid I slept thru Saturday's gamesday. I may not have much sympathy. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @jesnellm I view Amazon & Macmillan as inequitable systems that must change. In the short-term I side with Macmillan as the more fragile. in reply to jesnellm #
- @gilhova Woot! #
- @BrenoKummel Yes, especially with the NdM in 18MEX or PRR/B&O in 1830. Sometimes there is not much available/better to invest in. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel In 1870, yes, to steal a presidency. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel That is for ME to take the presidency in 1870. Or,as you say, to move a presidency from a winner. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid None at all, all weekend. Nyahh! Tonight is #18xx night. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @andsoerinsaid Not sure what #18xx we'll play. Maybe 1848 or 1860. We'll decide as a group. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @andsoerinsaid I last played on Tues. Will play tonight, tomorrow, Thurs & probably Saturday. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @jesnellm: I trust publishers with retail price-fixingbecause the next wave is authors direct to retail and then direct to consumer. #
- @jesnellm: By the time any wanna-be incumbent tries to balance, they're hit by the next wave. Just have to keep waves coming fast enough. #
- A good starting discission of social networks vs content sites as business models: http://is.gd/7vCtZ #
- @jesnellm: You don't think private editors will become a viable business model (as a degraded form of the current publisher model)? #
- @jesnellm: Absolutely, and even today that's one of the traits that separates the professionals from the wannabes. #
- @andsoerinsaid: I have heard of Munchkin. I must be prime beef. #
- @andsoerinsaid: Bugger. I was about to charge gender discrimintion. Hmm. I've also played Uno…and Go Fish! I'm a slam dunk baby.. #
- RT @timoreilley Without a doubt the best post yet on #ipad, @VenessaMiemis: Overhyped Flop or Great Design Thinking? http://bit.ly/a3nFUs #
- @endgameoakland Please check if Container: 2nd shipment is in your channel again. I think it should be, and I'd like a copy. #
- Men, women, risk-taking, self-affacement, and bald lies made to come true: http://is.gd/7zmt7 I have lived and seen this story many times. #
- @EndGameOakland: Okay, thanks for checking (Container 2nd Shipment) #
- @snicholson: Welcome back Scott. #
- @andsoerinsaid Hold on. Fantasy? Dear gods above. Munchkin! Chez Geek! Killer Bunnies! Ninja Burger! LCR! FluXX! Munchkin Train Bunnies! in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @scottredracecar: Aye the pimp thread is a good 'un. Like laundry flapping in the breeze, you get to see everything. #
- @andsoerinsaid: Freeze your bra? This is some trick I'm dolefully unfamiliar with. #
- @andsoerinsaid And what, iced nipples in the morning when they put it on? Don't think I get the gag. /clueless in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @peterpham Dig up Jacob Butcher for a Java dude. He's a PITA but worth it. in reply to peterpham #
- @andsoerinsaid Ahh, that makes more sense. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @scottredracecar Nothing very original in 18IO. The charter auctions may absord any balance problems. Or not. First game tonight. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
- @BrenoKummel I agree. It is the balance of early commitment to a pure vs mixed strategy, but that commitment _is_ the stategy. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @scottredracecar Big 18IO concern is Charter reservations. Too strong & too stylising, especially with incremental capitalisation? #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
- @scottredracecar Other fear is auctions are degenerate due to strongly typed positions & company pairs – so bidding fails midgame. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
- @BrenoKummel It is hard to absord first mover penalty & commit to a stategy before you know the direction the game will develop. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid: All of them? All at once? #

- @andsoerinsaid: Freeze your bra? This is some trick I'm dolefully unfamiliar with. #
- @andsoerinsaid And what, iced nipples in the morning when they put it on? Don't think I get the gag. /clueless in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @peterpham Dig up Jacob Butcher for a Java dude. He's a PITA but worth it. in reply to peterpham #
- @andsoerinsaid Ahh, that makes more sense. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @scottredracecar Nothing very original in 18IO. The charter auctions may absord any balance problems. Or not. First game tonight. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
- @BrenoKummel I agree. It is the balance of early commitment to a pure vs mixed strategy, but that commitment _is_ the stategy. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @scottredracecar Big 18IO concern is Charter reservations. Too strong & too stylising, especially with incremental capitalisation? #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
- @scottredracecar Other fear is auctions are degenerate due to strongly typed positions & company pairs – so bidding fails midgame. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
- @BrenoKummel It is hard to absord first mover penalty & commit to a stategy before you know the direction the game will develop. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid: All of them? All at once? #
Twitter Week: 2010-02-10
- @BrenoKummel I thought France was fine, & not nearly as easy as its beginner description suggests. Italy was too chaotic for my taste. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid I suspect it will, but really only if you've no need to run local applications or do heavy data entry. #iPad in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @BrenoKummel AoS:Germany is good. Well worth it. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Aye, AoS:Holland is good too. Tell me what you think of AoS:Sun/London some time. I suspect London will work well for you. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Are you up to printing your own AoS maps? I could throw a few of my later designs at you. They're not small changes. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Which version did you print? My PDFs are correctly scaled if printed unscaled. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @clearclaw BTW: How much AoS have you played? in reply to clearclaw #
- @BrenoKummel If it was one of my PDFs from BGG, just make sure you print with no scaling. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel AoS:London will kill you if you don't really grok when to use other's track. For AoS:Sun you have to grok auction control. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Nice stats. Give me a shout in another dozen or so games and I'll give you a crack at my maps. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Yeah I'll play HT eventually. Several local fans. It seems very tactical though. Not a fan of 10 ways to make VPs games either. in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel Now I have them stashed somewhere….(AoS maps — actually know where, but need to re-verify versioning etc) in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid I slept thru Saturday's gamesday. I may not have much sympathy. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @jesnellm I view Amazon & Macmillan as inequitable systems that must change. In the short-term I side with Macmillan as the more fragile. in reply to jesnellm #
- @gilhova Woot! #
- @BrenoKummel Yes, especially with the NdM in 18MEX or PRR/B&O in 1830. Sometimes there is not much available/better to invest in. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel In 1870, yes, to steal a presidency. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @BrenoKummel That is for ME to take the presidency in 1870. Or,as you say, to move a presidency from a winner. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
- @andsoerinsaid None at all, all weekend. Nyahh! Tonight is #18xx night. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @andsoerinsaid Not sure what #18xx we'll play. Maybe 1848 or 1860. We'll decide as a group. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @andsoerinsaid I last played on Tues. Will play tonight, tomorrow, Thurs & probably Saturday. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
- @jesnellm: I trust publishers with retail price-fixingbecause the next wave is authors direct to retail and then direct to consumer. #
- @jesnellm: By the time any wanna-be incumbent tries to balance, they're hit by the next wave. Just have to keep waves coming fast enough. #
- A good starting discission of social networks vs content sites as business models: http://is.gd/7vCtZ #
- @jesnellm: You don't think private editors will become a viable business model (as a degraded form of the current publisher model)? #
- @jesnellm: Absolutely, and even today that's one of the traits that separates the professionals from the wannabes. #
- @andsoerinsaid: I have heard of Munchkin. I must be prime beef. #
- @andsoerinsaid: Bugger. I was about to charge gender discrimintion. Hmm. I've also played Uno…and Go Fish! I'm a slam dunk baby.. #
