  • @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 #
  • @jdludlow: Subversion is to SCM as cockroaches are to filet mignon. #
  • @jdludlow The thing that impresses me most about SVN is how much worse it is than CVS, and CVS was & is painfully and brutally broken. in reply to jdludlow #
  • @EndGameOakland: (Auction + Aaron) Woot! /me does happy dance. #
  • @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 fairly sure y’all don’t call it “hiding the sausage” (or “making whoopee”, my long-time favourite) #
  • @jdludlow: Just to make you happy. http://is.gd/6dBeF #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. #
  • @andsoerinsaid As representative of the Guild of Y-Chromosomes I’m not worried about that. The Double-X Chromosome club wants to have words. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
  • @andsoerinsaid Amidst your recent tit muscle, wandering breasts, bush obsession & thermal-wrapped derriere, I seem to be in fine company.Ah! in reply to andsoerinsaid #
  • @andsoerinsaid I fear for the next hapless scruffy tween you meet in an elevator. (Fear, encourage, warn, envy? At least one of those) in reply to andsoerinsaid #
  • 1854 has (finally) arrived & in the same week as 18C2C no less. I’m overcome with unplayed #18xx goodness. To the tables! Attack! Attack! #
  • @BrenoKummel: My 1854 is straight in from Helmut Ohley. #
  • @andsoerinsaid: I resent the implication that I may not have sent a mixed message. Ahem. #
