@thisdarkpen If you’ve questions on #18xx, I may be able to help. We even play occasionally in Layfayette, if that’s close enough for you. in reply to thisdarkpen #
@ekted By which definition/qualtiy is Last train to Wensleydale a winner? What did you like? in reply to ekted #
3P 1830+Coalfields Me $14536 Daniel $15046 Jim $13225; Wow, Coalfields makes a huge (good) difference to the game! http://twitpic.com/hp15t #
@ekted Thanks (WRT Wenselydale) in reply to ekted #
@BrenoKummel I’m not sure. It seems…maybe interesting, maybe. So far Age of Steam is the only Martin Wallace game that impresses me. in reply to BrenoKummel #
@thisdarkpen It usually seems to take 2-3 plays to get the basic #18xx clue if there’s also skilled players to talk to. Longer without. in reply to thisdarkpen #
@BrenoKummel Yep, there’s a good reason I played Age of Steam once or twice a week, every week, 52 weeks a year for several years. in reply to BrenoKummel #
@ev Why does search show tweets from users that have protected their tweets/history & that I don’t follow or have rights to? #twitter #

@BrenoKummel I don’t think so but will have to ask Daniel. He knows Helmut from his time in Germany (played with him etc). in reply to BrenoKummel #
Speed Racer movie. Too much neon. Retinas have separated & are filing for divorce. Brain is now a turnip. Please send help. MAKE IT STOP! #
Mastery is when you can compellingly argue both sides of the argument. Wisdom is when you do, and win all three times. #

@thisdarkpen Wikipedia covers the basics: (iterative) prisoner’s dilemma, free rider paradox, nash equilibria, pareto efficiency etc. in reply to thisdarkpen #
@BrenoKummel Usually, for me, it somewhere/when where I ignored where the capital was. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel A couple 1830 games ago the biggest diesel run we had was $16/share in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel SoPac has $120 mountain, ouch! 1st; Mexican RR, Mexican Central 2: Chihuahua+Copper(/MinorB?), TexMex+MinorA, FCP+MinorB, SoPac in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel Couple 1889 games ago, ran the Kuroshio with a diesel for $9/share. $6+$2+$1 Tragic track. Brrrrrr. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@andsoerinsaid I think the neon hallucinogenic strobes in Speed Racer kept me awake. I feel fine now except for MUST KILL WITH LASERS urge. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@BrenoKummel FCP has two 50+30 in one tile & a cheap route to MinorB if Chihuahua doesn’t tragic track. MinorB can build out in 3rd OR. in reply to BrenoKummel #
@BrenoKummel SoPac + MinorB can also work, but slower to get that share lead – & the MinorB track isn’t as nice for SoPac. in reply to BrenoKummel #
@clearclaw The biggest question of course is where you are sitting in relation to the NdM player. That drives almost everything. in reply to clearclaw #
@andsoerinsaid So far, Splotter’s Greed is the only Essen release to really interest me. Still trying to find a buyer. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@ingredientx:@andsoerinsaid Yeah, I paid ~$120 for Duck Dealer. I expect Greed to be similar, much like the small press 18xx I’m buying. #
@andsoerinsaid Thanks. Still hunting but may come back to you. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid I got 1844 & pre-cut track-tiles for my copy of 1848 direct from Helmut Ohley for ~$120. Already have & have reviewed 18EZ. #
@andsoerinsaid I’d recommend Nambu or Twitterfon (now Echofon), but they’re iPhone specific. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
Watching Sky Crawlers. Rather amazingly good bit of motivation-exploration/social commentary. @anime #
This is my week to be called “overwhelming” and “Intimidating”? 5x this week (2+3). Should I growl and eat babies, or scare kids to sleep? #
