@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. #

@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. #

@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 #

@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.. #

@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? #

@frandallfarmer I don’t believe either the new or the old sets of numbers. The polar ice-cap & glacier loss statistics are more compelling. in reply to frandallfarmer #
@BrenoKummel For 1848? I’ve yet to have a game in which all the companies weren’t floated before the 5-trains. Why dawdle that long? #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel In an 1830-esque games I’ll happily float then for the capital, but it will be a shit company. Train-feeder. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel Capital multiplication (6->10) & stock appreciation. Open early & fast as long as you can get a good par. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel: Running multiple companies well is HARD but also rewarding. Most players are bad at it. Something to learn & practice. #18xx #
Sometime in the last year I’ve become able to focus & concentrate at will so absolutely that it leaves me shaking when I pull out. Scary. #
It isn’t the shakiness that frightens, but that the universe disappears except for my focus until I extract. It is so…absolute, so binary. #
I wonder, do I now need to promise to only use my new-found powers for good? #
@andsoerinsaid In someone else? Not sure. I suspect I only know how to say things which are true but don’t help. #
@ingredientx: If we lived in the same state we might fulfill the LHC prophecy and implode the universe. #
@andsoerinsaid: I don’t chew gum. I do like chewing raw cardamom pods. #
@Infernarl Similar to flow, but closer to tunnel-vision and a fair bit more intense and exhausting. It is debilitating. in reply to Infernarl #
@scottredracecar I found 18Ardennes insipid. Nothing actually compelling & little reason to play it again. Colourless. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
A small piece of encouragement for a friend whose professors have deviated below the mean: http://is.gd/7bXMe #
@scottredracecar Fair point. There were teaching errors in our game. But the corrections from David weren’t encouraging. Shrug. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
Working on an article about stock-trashing in #18xx, when it is required for Good Play, & the reasoning behind its necessity. Suggestions? #
Looks like we’re going to be doing an #18xx fiesta at DundraCon: http://www.dundracon.com/ 18C2C, 18FR-RCE etc - 3 days of good stuff. #
@thisdarkpen There is more to say than I’d expected. Genericy vs practice. #18xx in reply to thisdarkpen #
@scottredracecar Saw your post to David. Ditto our game. Games need imbalance to be interesting. #18xx in reply to scottredracecar #
@andsoerinsaid And people wonder why I almost exclusively read BGG via my subscriptions list. Just skip the blather (& thus most traffic). in reply to andsoerinsaid #
What Apple is really selling with the iPad: http://is.gd/7fgfT Next comes the seamless integration play that threatens most media markets. #
It isn’t the #iPad stupid, it is the iPad+iPhone+iMac as a vertical solution. #
@jdludlow: Bugger, can’t believe I wrote that rating comment. #
Come on guys, the #iPad isn’t a laptop-wannabe or an iPhone++. It’s a smart network device with a big screen & a million smart network-apps. #
@MidgardDragon No more than an unjail-broken iPhone. Red Herring & ignores subsequent market development and definition (and HTML5). #iPad in reply to MidgardDragon #
Given the public uncertainty on what it really offers, the name is a brilliant way to keep press coverage on the #iPad. #

Ah, 5mil laminated #110 stock is almost as good as 5mil laminated #120 stock for making #18xx, but doesn’t jam Office Max’ printers. Win! #
@Infernarl Make sure you got the corrected Stock market for 1830 if you’re using Peter Mumford’s version. I’d do Coalfields next. #18xx in reply to Infernarl #
@Infernarl 18EU is also excellent. Hold back on 18FR until I release the new files. Ditto 18Kaas. 1812 may be good if you like 1861. #18xx in reply to Infernarl #
@Infernarl 18NEB art requires fixes. 1886 looks interesting. 1873 is pending English rules. 1857 & 1876 are iffy. 18NL, maybe. #18xx in reply to Infernarl #
18FR-RCE went well. Train roster isn’t quite right. Going to be hard to know when they’re right. Release to open play-test anyway? #18xx #
@andsoerinsaid Here Tobago is the game that gamers piteously beg other gamers to rescue them from. No joke. There was pleading & promises. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid I sat out Tobago & thanked Dave-who’d-begged-me for letting me watch. He said I owed him big time for making him suffer thru. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@BrenoKummel At the end of each set of ORs the govt takes a train. 2 trains if the 1st taken makes a new type available. Owie! #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
Final track from yesterday’s 18FR-RCE: http://twitpic.com/yim51 #
@brettspiel Oft my relatioship to a design-in-progress is armed truce. The design has a huge problem. I blithely ignore it. in reply to brettspiel #
@brettspiel Main time I stop on a design is when there’s a problem & no idea how to isolate/ID the problem. Oft just flail about & give up. in reply to brettspiel #
@Infernarl Nice idea, but I’m not up to building & maintaining yet another #18xx geeklist. Three is enough. in reply to Infernarl #
Pleasant chat with nice FBI lady about IDing terrorists, payment systems & false positives vs customer support. These are the end times? #
I like how my game designs keep ebbing right up against my basic failures in learning math. Yay group theory! Yay number theory! Y’all suck #
Taught Lokomotive Werks to DdJ yesterday. He: “First mover advantage!” Determining how big today was surpringly hard. Weak probability-fu. #
@brettspiel My too many shelves are usually indistinguishable from graveyards for the lost & damned. in reply to brettspiel #
@BrenoKummel That is exactly what I mean. I doubt this is a game DTG would be interested in. Just posted the pic on the geeklist BTW. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@andsoerinsaid You mean gaming isn’t personal? (Au contraire!) in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid You don’t seem such a high-volume tweeter to need to segregate your tweets. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@BrenoKummel I find 18FR-RCE too derivative. A good intro GL would be great. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel Everything is derivative somehow. I am not hiding 18FR-RCE from DTG. A fine also-ran. I will not push it on John. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel Understood. You go advocate it to John when I’m done okay? I’ve made my reply to Tom McThorn (IIRC) on the #18xx list already. in reply to BrenoKummel #
The old adage of not shopping for food when you’re hungry is true. it also applies to eating when hungry. Dear gods, please, I can’t move! #
@andsoerinsaid I’ve been trying to think of how to classify your parts by interest categories. I’d make a lousey anatomist or pornographer. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
Into every life some rain must fall. I’m stickering 18C2C. It must be about time for Noah. #18xx http://twitpic.com/ym7x7 #

@andsoerinsaid: I see $3 saved! Rock! Your retirement is once more secure… #

@brookscl Yes, Villa Paletti is worth it. A clever game if players fight to control who adds levels or is stuck pulling a weak support. in reply to brookscl #
@brookscl But Villa Paletti is weak if just played as a HaHa party game. It needs the positional fight to shine. in reply to brookscl #
Looking to buy more poker-chip sets for #18xx: http://tr.im/K2ft One nice 300 chip set, one economy 1,000 chip set. Recommendations? #
@BrenoKummel My 500 chip-set is only barely big enough for 18C2C. I find denominated chips slower/harder to use. Mentally jarring. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@msaari The NexGen Pros or ProGens seem the most likely. I’ll probably order a sample set. #18xx in reply to msaari #
@BrenoKummel Want 2nd 300 set when we have 2 games going. Using my 500 is clumsy. Also want less-slippy chips for default game. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
18C2C has arrived. Three, no, four, no, five bags full of tokens to sticker. Oy vey, I paid for this honour? I should be so lucky. #18xx #
@andsoerinsaid: Figure 400+ tokens, tweezers, micrometer, robotic controls, electron scanning miscroscope,.. Piece of (yellow) cake! #18xx #

@icheyne: Java will take a long time to die. I hope not very long. Sadly, JS is here to stay – AJAX has ensured that. #
@jdludlow: There aren’t that many upcoming #18xx: 18Ardennes, 18NEB, 18IO, 18FR-RCE, 1812, 1817..Okay, maybe a few. #
@jdludlow: (smug) grin! #18xx #

@andsoerinsaid: I’m tempted to say how much of an stiff uptight prick I am WRT sex, but I won’t slide into such easy temptation. #
@andsoerinsaid: Dammit. I get lewd and you go all undriven snow on me. No wonder guys always lose. #
@andsoerinsaid: Challenge schmallenge. The basic male wet dream: “Come & get ‘em!” It really doesn’t matter who says that. #

1854 has (finally) arrived & in the same week as 18C2C no less. I’m overcome with unplayed #18xx goodness. To the tables! Attack! Attack! #

@andsoerinsaid: I resent the implication that I may not have sent a mixed message. Ahem. #
