He's an entirely honest and ethical man. Also a very bad Diplomacy player.

This tended to be the problem with playing games of Diplomacy within the family. Quite apart from the fact that it was impossible to do anything secretively, we were all far too nice and far too worried about real-world repercussions to do any backstabbing.

Yes! I figured out what was breaking my randimg!
My avatar now rotates.

My post/day ratio is coming closer to 1.

And closer...

AND CLOSER...

Fun fact - Risk is banned in my extended family because it leads to violence.

Same with monopoly and Mariokart?

[Bauglir]

It's only necessary to ban fun games, and, as for Mariokart, there aren't enough people in the extended family who play video games for it to become a thing.

Just reread A Tale of an Industrious Rogue

Of all the D&D stories I've read, it's probably my favourite.

Personally I liked the writing and feel of the two SverClawShift campaigns a bit better than that of an Industrious Rouge.

Ahah! Yes!
Those two are soooo great.
Kinda wish the third had got finished.

Risk leads to violence if I so much as look at it, because I hate it so much. My brother suggests it at every family gathering.

That's too bad. Not having enough gamers in the family, that is.

[Graknorke]

Hah, you want violence inducing games? Try Monopoly.

There will always be one person who buys all the strategic spots and proceeds to roll in all of the money.

[Tawa]

The only way to play Monopoly is to forbid rent until a property has buildings on it (which you are allowed to do before you have all the properties, unless it's a hotel.) Otherwise, the person who remembers that houses and hotels exist eats everybody's money while everybody else gets tortured by forces beyond their comprehension; this way, they have to build them to earn any money.

[Truean]

I forget what I was even watching: some sort of let's play, probably skyrim or something.

It featured a mod with a tent and a waving flag. My cat became fixated on the flag and stalked it until she could eventually paw at the screen. My cat is old and hasn't been feeling well enough to do much of anything lately. So, I was really glad and thought it was cute.

Uh, the person that remembers houses and hotels exist will still make the money.

So does the other person, if you play this way. Everything is equalized.

I'm not sure I'm understanding.
This doesn't stop you from building at all.

[Tawa]

It forces everybody to build.
