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 #
18C2C – Simply amazing, & a great afternoon: http://bit.ly/8BCPTv #18xx #
Discussion of privacy & what it isn’t, in the social-network age: http://is.gd/6CFmC This is why I find #Twitter useful and #FB useless. #
#ReadItLater app for iPhone and plugin for Firefox; http://readitlaterlist.com/ Revolutionised my mobile browsing habits. Excellent. #
@andsoerinsaid: I assume there’s an internally compelling reason to stay rather than an external compulsion to stay. #
@andsoerinsaid Kids are incredibly persuasive. It is hard to fight eons of evolutionary preference. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@jdludlow Awwwww! in reply to jdludlow #
@jdludlow Ahh, I got to clean up some old/stale thumbs. Thanks. in reply to jdludlow #
@endgameoakland Do you have/can you get Container: 2nd Shipment? If so, please get/hold a copy for me. #
@andsoerinsaid: I see $3 saved! Rock! Your retirement is once more secure… #
@andsoerinsaid: Game this sentence no I verb. #
@EndGameOakland: Container 2nd shipment is supposed to be entering US distribution now. In limited #s of course. Sigh. #
@andsoerinsaid @ingredientx FYI: http://is.gd/6MXhR #
So, Dundracon or OrcCon? 18C2C is calling, calling, calling & I am of weak mind & easily seduced. Oh, whatever shall I do? #18xx #
@andsoerinsaid The MySpace angle is cheap, easy & has low standards. Of course it is attractive to men. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid A cleavage shot with eye contact, a flirt smile & that shows you doing something interesting. Magic Girl? in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid Magic Girl: http://tr.im/Lgin Of course you should use Wabash Cannonball instead of MtG. A clear winner! in reply to andsoerinsaid #
