Comment by Gunnyhighway on November 27, 2009 at 12:55pm - Strange Smitty!... I felt as everybody were avoiding engaged political/strategical/tactical discussions in case a big brother from their job was checking who's Republican-Democrat...Which could make a difference for someone between getting a new comission or get passed over...So, everyone's retired?....We can speak freely?....

Roger:
That is a good point. I know one game I worked on with Jim and Pieter deWilde the 3 of us had cogent points that the designer was "unthrilled" with as it seemed like we were not being TEAM players. Rather funny. I won out as it is how Jim and I became good friends out of the whole matter.

Eric walters did a good post on the 4th of November about what drives gamers crazy. Quite a lot of good comments were made by him and many added their grievances.
So, I might do a post along the lines of, if you were involved in the development of a new board game, what would be the one thing you would like implemented/incorporated into the game that game designers on a whole tend to forget or dont bother with?

Comment by Brant Guillory on November 26, 2009 at 4:22pm - If anyone's interested in a place for some political discussion, there's a forum dedicated to it over at Wargamer.com. Once you register for the forums, you have to PM the moderator for access, but it's there and it's pretty bare-knuckled without attracting the looney-type fringe crowd. Sorry to divert attention from social. csw, but the board game conversations are much better over here anyway, and if you're looking for politics/religion discussion, that's *a* possible destination some of you might be interested in...

Comment by Chris Gammon on November 26, 2009 at 2:02pm - Eric Walters just started a thread (http://social.consimworld.com/profiles/blogs/remakes-worth-it-or-not) that I personally think will generate a lot of activity. Let's see if I'm wrong.

Smitty,
I have only upset/annoyed/disagreed with one person on here, and you were not him, and yes, I think it would take a lot to upset/annoyed/disagree you.

Didn't we just have a special election.....God we get to go through THAT yet again....
I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…
Chris:
Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least.

The fact that Carolyn like KAtie, married men like us tells us they are good and special people.
My wife Carolyn teaches special ed. I wouldn't trade jobs with her for any amount of money. Very difficult work indeed.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.
Where amateur and published map makers can discuss and assist each other with techniques and methods used in creating boardgame maps.
(not a group for arguments about what map style or software app is best)
I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother.
I _hope_ it is just by unfortunate accid…
Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.
Lately, I've been mad at Newsweek, due to issues of bias that are beyond the realm of this group. However, tonight I read a very good article on its web site, regarding layoffs.I was once in a meeting at a former employer, and we were going over th…
I second the motion. May his service in the defense to his country be what matters in the hereafter.
The game on the development table now is Rob Markham's Saratoga. This game covers the decisive battle of the American Revolution tactically, with two scenarios. One addresses the Battle of Freeman's Farm on September 19, and the other is on the Ba…
I'll just say "R.I.P.", lest I stray into the political realm.
I'd love to see more open source work, but I'm especially thinking of computer games. That would allow not just designers, but the developers, to look "under the hood" to see what makes a good game work. Even if that education is taken to commercial…
I haven't seen much in the way of Napoleonic games as of late, and I think the COA system always lagged a bit because the rules changed quite a bit and there have been lots of questions surrounding a new, more playable system. I think if someone can…
What I think will be coolest about the concept is the use of touch displays to pick up and move counters, etc. and swipe the display with a finger to quickly scroll and view the map. All this while having a live chat window or audio option to talk t…
