Delirium

Quote from: Tamas on January 19, 2010, 02:32:29 AMBTW I am looking for an European time-zone PBEM opponent who can do turns during office hours so I am less bored. I am flexible in regards game to be played.

I guess that would be me?

Let me think this over though, I might be ready to embark on another CB adventure, I don't know.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Thanks for the discussion by the way, Larch.  I wasn't aware that you had this much experience with gaming.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I do play a lot of boardgames, but most of the time not the kind of games that are discussed here. That is, monsters with shitloads of counters that are never taken out of the box (@CdM  :P).

The Imperial Guard.

How large would you say your collection is?

I'd say around 75.~ 100 if you count old magazine games I didn't sell off back in the 90's.

A respectable sum, Sir.

It would have been much larger if I didn't sell off a bunch to make house payments in the mid 90's. Needs must when the devil drives.

And the late 90's-early '00's sell off when I discovered e-bay. 70 bucks for a punched copy of the Gamers' Afrika? 100 bucks for Nato, Nukes and Nazi's? SOLD! That part was pure greed.  :blush:

Yeah, my collection grew exponentially when I discovered eBay.  Not only did I buy the games I always wanted, combined with my competitive nature of I WILL NOT LOSE, bids were a bit crazy.  I don't like to lose, whether it's fucking Candyland or an eBay bid.

My bidding style is bid once and ignore it until the auction is over.   :D

Mine is too, but using the nuclear option. 
Bidding is currently at $4.  Your current bid is $145.  Is this correct? YES FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE
