Well, the blizzard must balance things out; eagles would normally have a huge advantage thanks to flight.

assuming the comma isn't meant to be a decimal point.

The designators for the decimal and thousands across nations bug me. I wish we could agree on one standard and use it. Being American, I'd prefer the decimal point, but I'd be willing to change if it meant unifying our number displays. It's those other Americans you have to work on. I mean, you'd think that foreign things (like the metric system) are satanic or something around here. Good luck telling them that 1.234,56 makes any sort of sense.

I was going to comment next on the difference in billion between America and England, but I see that's actually been resolved (USA, USA, USA). Though really, that difference is easily overcome with scientific notation.

Being American, I agree. Being American, I also prefer everyone adopts the metric system. Wait a minute, I got that backwards, didn't I?

I think the decimal point is starting to take over here slowly.

Adopt the scientific community standard, then:

12 338 953.228 31

No commas anywhere.

Metrologists.  They're in charge of all the significant digits in everything anyway.  They will generally prefer scientific notation though.

Calculating constants to unnecessary levels of precision does. As well as things like number theory, or large specific numbers, or the like.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I don't have any ideas for the mechanics of this game, but I've managed to think up the concept of a board game. It's called Malpractice Mania, and the idea is that you play incompetent surgeons trying to get away with 'accidentally' killing patients for as long as possible.

I'm sure this is a terrible idea, but oh well.

This sounds amazing.  Except if "accidentally" is in quotes... um. :P

Unless you want the murder-y edge to it, maybe you have ways to cause others' patients to die (thematically abstracted away as fate or something rather than your surgeon's own actions).

That's awesome. I probably won't end up getting around to doing it, but mind if I steal that idea?

I could imagine playing with an ordinary game of Operation, except for some, it would be advantageous to occasionally 'slip'...the review board ('town') would try to figure out who was doing it on purpose.

Edit: Misread as 'Malpractice Mafia'. Still a reasonable premise

I don't know, usually when I play games I'm looking for a break from work.

Koalas man.  Turn up the volume.



Apparently the sound directors of Jurassic Park used male koala recordings to create the roar for the tyrannosaurs.  Source.

There's Pain Doctors.

Though, that's less about malpractice and more about horror-level sadism at the end of a scalpel. Also, not a very good game. You would do better.
