That was too good a price to pass up for GD42.

L2 is having a sale too. Shipping to US: 18 smackers.

I consider picking up "Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery" for me and my friends:

Yeah it looks interesting. Don't think my gaming group would be hugely interested though.

My group of irregulars likes topical games, ideally ones that are easy to pick up. Our mainstays atm are Talisman and Last Night on Earth. I know we have a couple of fans of the Spartacus tv show, so this should be popular.

Mmp is holding that sale again Friday, because of a few complaints.

LOL, what is it this time?  Somebody couldn't hoard a dozen copies of Beyond Valor?

The way I read it at BGG, because the Black Friday sale wasn't on Black Friday.

You mean, the one advertised as:

QuoteTHE FRIDAY BEFORE BLACK FRIDAY!

This Friday only! November 16, 2012

Christ, sometimes I wish everybody on BGG would accidentally gas themselves in the garage.

Ed Anger

Folks,

We have received a lot of complaints about holding our "Friday before Black Friday" sale prior to the actual Black Friday.

I thought we had advertised this well enough, and the sale was the most successful (by about 32 orders) of any sale we've ever had, but there were enough emails to warrant trying this again.

So, we will hold an identical "Black Friday" sale the Friday after Thanksgiving.

This sale will be identical to what we ran on the 16th! Nothing new will be added, nothing has sold out, and the prices will remain the same!

Please note: We can not add to an earlier order!. The office is already swamped trying to get the last J10's out and dealing with the orders from the 16th! We are not going to complicate the office's job with this second chance sale.

And people wonder why Perry, Chaz and the boys don't "communicate enough".

I can see why Ty Bomba dropped off the face of CSW. I wouldn't want to communicate with wargamers either.

Kleves

How long does it take a GMT P500 game to go from charging to shipping?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Depends on the game.  Usually 2-3 months.
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.
