Maybe you could fix the smiley codes to include the second colon at some point?
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.

Quote from: jimmy olsen on June 23, 2009, 11:49:50 AMThe original covered the entire Pacific theater and had 9,000 counters, what was in the expansion kit?

Seriously, extra counters, etc., carrying the war into 1946 if necessary.
I wouldn't worry about that, the Japs 'll make you throw in the towel way before that.  :P

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

So, I've been playing a couple of games of Imperial (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/24181) lately.

Anyone else try it? We're having a blast playing it.

Yep.  That's one of our default "to play at the conventions" games.  Best Diplomacy mod ever!

The problem with such a game is that you know, by mere virtue of its size, that it has never been playtested more than once or twice--and both times by the designer, rather than someone objectively judging it for game quirks.  I can't buy a game where there is not even a pretense of quality-control involved.

After further review, and nearly killing the cat with the whole damned thing, I've come to the conclusion that this is perhaps the most unplayable game ever invented.
Not by rules, mind you;  just in logistics alone.
