The Gaming Den

The existing text doesn't have ambiguity. Its specific in it's timing, it's timing is after no other timing related wording or tenses exist and the other timing rules tell you explicitly when to execute afters. The other timing rules also explicitly say that "whens" modify timing events an...

And now, Ruining the game with Greed and Generosity : This is now a review of trying to play this board game online in Australia I have owned Table Top Simulator since forever. I got it in the early days. It was bad then, buggy, laggy, no community and all the board games were self censored and inc...

So talking about Twlight Imperium 4th edition and people on the internet loosely associated with it made me want to talk about some other things, less related to that specific rule, or the rules in general. And mostly I want to complain about a few things. And complain about some people "doing ...

Anyway. Let me try and bring this to something resembling a conclusion? The name of the game If it helps remotely at all, this game is the very popular and well known Twilight Imperium 4th edition. Maybe knowing that might trigger some memories or rule familiarity for people. It is genuinely a great...

I think it's implicit that when it's your "turn" to resolve an ability you choose and resolve any one of your abilities that were just triggered. If some players run out of abilities they "pass" when it becomes their turn. If one player has multiple abilities and no one else has...

Multiple top rules men in the community in question would slap you in the face and demand you get out for using that reasoning Kaelik. Then just one of them would almost agree with your conclusion for differing and by far, very far, stupider reasons. But seriously more than one of them would pause e...

My apologies to Grek, I'll try to remember.

This fake example doesn't matter. But some of the real interactions do. Also, if it helps, according to at least one top level community rules expert, the actual "official" (I don't think they are really official... but they like to act like it) answer to "which order would you get th...

Ah quick note, most recent example isn't actually up to the bit I'm disagreeing with people who are wrong on the internet with yet and Grek might want to quickly note that the third ability didn't require the system to contain a ship. Also I think he describes the right justification in his first li...

It's probably too soon, so people feel free to keep giving interpretations of the first rules too. But now I'm going to try and take this further down the rabbit hole a bit. As mentioned a "when"..." typically modifies or replaces the timing event in some way." And does so with t...

I'd love to already go through and say "yes thats the right thing that I got from it" and "no thats the wrong thing crazy people got from it" but that kinda eliminates the point so while I wait for any more replies to the first bit I'll add some tangential rules quotes that might...

This may not be a place to ask for a sanity check on how a rule is read, but I think I'd like to try it anyway. I've had an experience with people reading rules in incredibly bizarre ways (yes perhaps even by our standards here), and I kinda want to see what peoples readings of what seem to be very ...

Some pointless riots. The cool thing about fascists is that when they start doing political violence and it doesn't work, they stop immediately and never do it again. I don't understand how you can simultaneously be a panic merchant freaking the fuck out over a minor riot. Then at the same time ign...

What? This is exactly what I or anyone else expected. Some pointless riots.

And no one said there wouldn't be violence.

But you think this is the beginning of a successful coup?

You seriously think that?

Really?

Ok so anyone could have predicted these riots in the capital. Anyone could have predicted the police being extra nice with them. But the whole police just letting them in to trash places actually powerful people work at? Yeah OK that's a bit surprising. And a kinda major development. Powerful people...

Do you really think that criticizing the actions of Biden destroys the gaming den? Not, you know, failed vitriolic bullying on obviously dishonest terms attempting to silence that. DeadDM, it's you singing along to the "love me I'm a liberal" song which hurts this community. It is not an e...

I just want to go on record saying this whole thread is bullshit. It's a perfect example of making the perfect the enemy of the good... ...I don't know what the next four years holds, but I fervently believe that it will be better than the last four years. Many people long since warned dumb asses l...

So if Angel can just technically get Kaelik to say that Kamala hasn't even made an appearance at the Empty Motherhood Statement Foundation and it turns out she HAS, kinda, on Twitter or Quibi or something!!! Oh boy oh boy! What very real and important egg will be on Kaeliks face then. The empty moth...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is your main criticism of OgreBattle premise just, "I'm not interested in the game you're proposing on a conceptual level"? You are wrong. Now let me correct you with far too much detail. That seems to be Lago's brief criticism of... this. My main criticism of...

I mean kind of depends on the scope of the game yeah? Does it though? Lets note two things. 1) The plan would appear to be to do this to ALL combat encounters, even ones without ogres, but perhaps never to be definitely for sure all the ones with fighters. And fair enough, if this "non-defeat ...

So you think the last election result was good for the democrats? The election that also saw Trumps vote grow? The election where the record turn out, the much prophesied thing that was until that very moment supposed to be a sure indication of a democrat landslide... actually split far too well to ...

I actually talk to American voters and non voters when I go to the local meetings. So. Anecdotal evidence. I'm talking about the demographics of surveys of voters. The information is out there and prominently so. If you really care about this you've seen the same surveys and information as me repea...

What I'm getting at is that the things you're describing aren't real costs. Dems don't need to expand their voter base. They do however need to have a voter base at all. And I'm telling you they don't have one in the next generation, they have at the very least turned the next thirty years into an ...

They've thrown away their previously much talked up future voter base demographic. They do not have a next generation of voter base. They have been talking for years about how it was on it's way. Then it arrived, they spat in it's face and drove it out with fire and pitchforks preferring to cling on...

They aren't impotent, "they", the liberals, are very effective at their one actual job. Never letting any of the actual left ever have any actual power at all. At any cost. Well. The liberals just paid any cost. It turned out to be pretty expensive. It has certainly cost them their soul th...
