MalevolentPanda

I'm Inter Pandas.

I've played 3rd edition with eight a few times and it never got to 12 hours. Closer to eight would be normal. 4th is definitely streamlined significantly, and not just because it's capped at six players. But yeah, very dependent on how much arguing etc there is.

I think that this sort of service is also much more viable with the rise of DLC. It's not just about what slice of subscription fee you get. Anyone who plays your game on the service is a potential DLC customer.

I haven't played TM but I consider Anachrony to be a far better game than CoC, if that helps at all.

MalevolentPanda buys a 10% share of TAG from IPO for $70. -> @SimonC

My copy of Feudum arrived yesterday and it's definitely the prettiest game I own.

MalevolentPanda starts AB&C at $75 and pays $150 for 2 shares (20%) to BANK -> @SimonC

Ok. I think? I've bid on M&C. Check whether I've done this right, someone who understands this!

Hello. Sorry I've been a bit tardy everyone. I've had a stupid busy week at work, and I'm working this weekend. And I've started seeing a girl which is consuming most of my spare time. Obviously I'm not suggesting that playing 18XX with you is less important than her, but well, you know. I'm on it now. No idea what I'm doing, obviously. Just installing Rails.

I'd be up for that. Always fancied at least trying an 18XX and I'm unlikely to achieve that in the real world.

Not sure I could have less interest in that. Which is nice, given the mental pricing. Did back CO2 though. Lacerda.

Remember to watch it all on Eurosport rather than the BBC. Way, way better. Less jingoistic flag waving exercises, more actual sport. And no Clare 'animal cruelty' Balding.

The snowboarding trick events are ludicrously subjective and shouldn't be in the Olympics, really, unless they can come up with a more objective format/scoring system. I'm very much looking forward to mass start speedskating. That's going to be amazing, surely.

I'll probably back it and hardly ever play it. I love Lacerda. Probably my favourite designer. All his games are great. I like CO2 and love the game concept but of all his titles this is the one with a few issues that a new edition could clean up. The production quality looks great too.

I thought the six month pre contract agreement thing only works for overseas clubs?
