Title: Newish!
Post by: Haddock on July 14, 2015, 11:13:44 am
Hi all,

I've been posting here and there for a couple of months now I guess, but never did do the proper introductions thing.

I'm a student in the UK and I've been playing Dominion IRL for just over a year and a half (well the first time I ever played was more years ago, but I only played once or twice before I bought the base set for my flat mate a year and a half ago).  Now I own every set (no promos :( ), stored in a toolbox adapted by my much-more-arts-and-craftsy-than-me mother to hold them all.  I might post photos of the storage solution in that thread at some point, it works pretty well.

Anyway.  No Goko/MF handle, I don't intend to get sucked in to playing online much as it tempts me.  But I do intend to carry on frequenting the Dominion Online threads because watching the carnage is great entertainment!

Great community you guys have here, hope you don't mind my butting in!

Cheers.

H.

Welcome!

If you think watching the carnage is great entertainment, trying being a part of it!  Have you checked out the Forum Games?

What's your stance on punctuation position relative to closing quotation marks?

Yeah I've been following lots of the Mafia games, figure I'll dive into one at some point or another, thought not right now.  Zendo too.  What, by the way, does `PPE' mean (in the context of a Mafia game)?

Commas and stops at the end of a quote always inside the quotes, everything else outside.

Funny... you don't *look* newish.
Huh?

PPE stands for "pre post edit". This is used to denote when posts have been made while you are writing up a post, with the number corresponding to the number of unread posts.

Or if, instead of a number, it's "PPE: more text", it means that you've read the posts now and the text after PPE is in response to the new posts, but the text before it was written before you read the new posts.

Why doesn't this have more upvotes, that movie isn't that old.
