The thing is, its just a merge of all the other good threads that can hold thier own.
Look at the maths thread, thats now a great thread on its own, but that started off in here and if I hadnt posted it out there it would have died and gone away. More importantly, i would imagine loads of people see replies in the Random thread and dont bother to check it, because half of it is mindless.

Keep it for saying hello, posting silly stuff, but then if you have something you want to share, post it as normal.

If Random dies, what will I talk about? Where will I share my funny pictures? Where will we talk about normal stuff?

Why not have a funny pictures thread? That way people who dont normally see the pictures might then see and maybe even contribute
And im not saying get rid of completely, but just leave it for the completely random non discussion stuff

I think mine was when I stepped into a (serious) thread, didn't read it, made a completely serious reply, and managed to get message of the week from it.

Well, it's that or a post I made from an alt account. Probably the latter actually.

Edit: It's the latter. Sigh.

Good, that first one is so dull.

Glad this got linked; I +1'd the second one.  Only skimmed the first one.

Pretty much the line that got me most of that respect was:

Quote
In Dominion, the objective is not to have the most points when the game ends. The objective to have the game end when you have the most points.

The rest of the post was just explaining that statement a little more.

My rhyming skills are Lost Arts, so big they're Giant
Let me play Mountebank, gain the curse, be compliant
I'll Butcher your deck, make you wish you got Chancellor
This ain't Goko! no Resign Button, so no canceler
I'll be playin' my Thief, trashing your finances
My shuffle luck is perfect, you'll be running out of chances
I'm the very best player, as everyone can see
All my girls be playin' in League, Division D
I buy the last Province, and I always win with style
But your lines, they're already as empty as a 3-pile

I'm really interested in a Kickstarter game that is coming to an end soon -- Valeria: Card Kingdoms.  I hadn't paid any attention until Rahdo's run-through:



It looks like a dungeon-crawl themed Machi Koro with some elements of Splendor as well.  On your turn, you roll 2 dice.  As in Machi Koro, this triggers effects on your cards and those of your opponents.  The first interesting twist is that each roll can trigger up to 3 different values, because you count the number on each individual die as well as the sum.  This has an immediate advantage over Machi Koro in that it will ultimately trigger more cards, which should mean more fun.  The second twist is that every card can be triggered on an opponent's turn, and the effect you get is different depending on whether it's your turn or another's, giving some more variation to what happens.

Most (maybe all?) of the cards give you resources or allow you to convert resources.  There's Strength, Gold, and Magic.  You use Gold to buy more cards and Strength to defeat various monsters.  Magic is a wildcard that can be used to augment either Strength or Gold (but is useless on its own).

There are Domain cards that have prerequisites to building them (which reminds me of the Nobles in Splendor) which grant various effects.

It all looks very solid.  I'm on the fence mostly because the USD-CAD exchange rate is still terrible.

This would be a group effort. Don't post to the random thread anymore. This would apply to everyone. But people would invariably post to it at some point, so the basic solution is to lock it.

I wouldn't object to it. There are times I feel that starting a new topic would be frivolous, so I post in here instead. I could create new threads on whatever floats my boat (hint: it's water).
I think you missed an opportunity here. You could have gone with "hint: it's moat".

Quote from: Eliezer Yudkowsky
Also, if anyone is already working on any of the following projects, I would not mind being CC’d in on their email threads (especially if I can successfully ascend to angel investor):
  • All-robotic car fleets (cars that operate in environments where only other conforming robotic cars are around).
  • Cheaper pharmaceutical research and development outside of the US and European regulatory regimes.
  • Financialization of venture capital using non-US equity laws or cryptoequities.
  • Assaults on obesity that involve directly killing fat cells, rather than futile attempts to mess with the surrounding metabolic processes.
  • Movable houses that can be shifted between modularly designed house-foundations.
  • Trying to convince an otherwise residable country with available land to create a special district with econoliterate tax and finance laws (e.g., consumption taxes and land value taxes rather than capital-gains taxes and sales taxes, legal cryptofinance).
  • Cryptocurrencies that incorporate some form of inflation targeting or NGDP level targeting.
  • Continuously audited bank accounts.
  • Quadcopters armed with anti-mosquito lasers, especially if the same system is adaptable to target wasps/hornets/etcetera and other pests.
I would not especially recommend trying to infer what I might be plotting by trying to guess how all of these things fit together. Not all the elements belong to the same potential plots.

This week's humble bundle is board games.  Complete packages of Small World 2 and TTR are there.  Also Catan and Talisman are both recognizable.  And apparently this 100% Orange Juice thing is well known too.

This story did not turn out to be about the board game company:
