@scottsturn I’ll take that as a solid reccomendation. Thanks. in reply to scottsturn #
@scottredracecar: Even more so because the iPad users are affluent early adopters, and that’s a key market for much of the ‘net. in reply to scottredracecar #
@jdludlow: There’s no good way to support Flash on a (multii-)touch device. Interaction model too different w/o a multi-typed fine pointer. in reply to jdludlow #
@jdludlow: All the larger porn houses are converting all their content to work with the iPad. Most already have. They see the money. in reply to jdludlow #
@jdludlow Flash (games) reads the keyboard & mouse. It is inherent to the Flash UI model even with video. in reply to jdludlow #
@andsoerinsaid Yep, 1848 is a facinating game of capital control – & we’re playing #18xx with Lonny Orgler here ATM! in reply to andsoerinsaid #
End of a 3P game of 18 FR-RCE with Lonny Orgler of Double-O games: http://twitpic.com/1dw2dt #
Lonny Orgler at the start of a 3P game of 18GL: #18xx http://twitpic.com/1dw35d #

@andsoerinsaid 1848 is a local & often played favourite. Lonny is visiting for three days, so we’re playing #18xx every night with him. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
Lonny goes on his way & I am eviscerated in 1824 (DFL by 30%): #18xx http://twitpic.com/1e0wbr #

RT @timoreilly: Racism at the heart of Tea Party rage? http://nyti.ms/br9RMC (via @Michael_Finberg) There’s good evidence, says Frank Rich. #

@pontusnalle The problem I have with 2P 1889 is one player buys four 3-trains & mostly wins right there. #18xx in reply to pontusnalle #
@pontusnalle I’m only aware of one good 2P 1830-style #18xx & that’s 1860, but it is a terrible newbie game. in reply to pontusnalle #
Wonderful 4P 18FR-RCE yesterday (Aliza $7,234 JCL $9,492 Jim $3,675 Daniel $7,620) #18xx http://twitpic.com/18rtnu #
@pontusnalle Confucius is about creating ties that resolve in your favour; that’s what I expect to happen, esp with the admiral to win. in reply to pontusnalle #
@pontusnalle Eh, that just means that one player failed to create sufficient incentives for their direction. The struggle still happened. in reply to pontusnalle #

@snicholson Uncanny valley? in reply to snicholson #
@gilhova I am pleased with my HP OfficeJet K8600 (mostly for prototyping). in reply to gilhova #
The #18xx games of yesterday: http://pic.im/ibf http://pic.im/ibg http://pic.im/ibh (1824, 18GL, 1889) #
@thisdarkpen ProGen 80s. I’m very pleased with them. See my Poker Chip Recommendations thread on #BGG for details & whys. in reply to thisdarkpen #
@BrenoKummel No, a new player that destroyed their own position & was unhappy about it & the game. They aren’t used to merger games. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
RT @GreatDismal & @markos: Palin: “We used to hustle over the border for health care we rcvd in Canada. And I think now, isn’t that ironic?” #
Wonderful (#18xx) game of 1824 (Mike: $10,318 Ron: $11,934 Me: $13,251): http://twitpic.com/17it0z #
@BildArchiv #
@scottredracecar: He has? http://is.gd/aaFXg in reply to scottredracecar #
@pontusnalle 1844 is pretty amazing. Enjoy! Glad I could help. #18xx in reply to pontusnalle #
@andsoerinsaid Flirting is one of the great human art forms. Revel in it. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid I think the only trick is to ensure all three parties know that the intent is to flirt & only to flirt. in reply to andsoerinsaid #

@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 #

@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 #

@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? #
