  • 3P 1889, tried to mix appreciate/dump/2x float with investing. Not as good as a pure capital drive. Barely won: $7.3K, $7K, $6.5K. #18xx #
  • @jdludlow I’m interested in how slippery the Sidepot Veneratis are. I’ll probably go for Super Diamonds for my next set. #18xx #pokerchips in reply to jdludlow #
  • @jdludlow We don’t bother with exact banks. Just run on paper once you determine which set of ORs the bank will break in. #18xx #
  • @jdludlow I would bulk up the $5s & $25s a little and drop the $5,000s. Some games, like 18Mex, chew through $5s & $25s. #18xx #pokerchips #
  • 4P 1844, 7hrs, Daniel $11,781, me $11,331, Aliza $10,598, Jim $9,345 http://twitpic.com/fyglz #188xx #
  • @ingredientx @mgoadric What I like most about #LyX is I don’t have to care about layout at all and I still get beautiful documents! #TeX in reply to ingredientx #
  • 4P 1826: A game that focuses on all of my weaknesses and rewards none of my strengths. DFL of course. We’ll have to play this more. #18xx #
  • @sedjtroll You betcha. 1826 rewards none of my strengths, but rather directly fights me & the manner I usually play. It is the anti-JC #18xx in reply to sedjtroll #
  • Played Endeavour. Clearly not my sort of game, but an interesting sort of not-my-sort-of-game. It appears to reward moderate extremism. #
  • @sedjtroll Endeavour will probably rate a 4 here. The right/left binding is horrible, bad snowball, but some ineresting interplays. in reply to sedjtroll #

  • @QarldeV Less than 30% (~15%?) of decisions in Chicago Express R/L bind & alliances care more about turn order than R/L adjacencies. in reply to QarldeV #
  • RT @GreatDismal:”Feel the Dickmentum” http://bit.ly/3RltH5 via @markos (This one is for Becca T, who will know why, won’t she?) #
  • @neilhimself Dear Neil, Please mind the gape while in Watford. (Said in the most plummy London Underground tones) in reply to neilhimself #
  • Endeavour did not improve with 2nd play. Thankfully not much worse either. Strong R/L binding, fairly stylised play, likely over-computable. #
