Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

"It is because the rock and soil underneath are very promising for cultivation of shrooms and roots that we use in our cuisine.

A) "Fine, I accept the deal as is. Always a pleasure doing business with High King Katinarag and his envoys!"
B) "No no no, a good trader never parts with his goodies without some barter beforehand. Let's negotiate!"
C) "This deal is insulting to me, for I'm not a cheapskate selling away my domain parcel by parcel. Away with you!"

I thought it might be there. Ehh . . . okay.
^{(If they're paying in precious metals, on top of our new mine, would rolling a better deal actually make our risk of inflation worse?)}

Maybe they'll offer us Vault credit, or something valuable that isn't Rcon points.

A, maybe we can get something better in the future. Heck, maybe this game will die a horrible death by the end of the 30 years.
