Resistance, King of Tokyo, and trying out Fiasco for the first time!

Interesting. So why is it you have destroy the head to kill a zombie, then? And could running zombies be possible, or would they all be the shuffling type zombie? And how would the infection begin? I always had the opinion if an outbreak were to occur, it would be publicized quickly enough for the government to keep it contained.

TK Shima: I guess there’s no discussion page for season 2 yet, so I’ll just discuss it here. Nice house rule! I had come to the same conclusion regarding the cause of zombification. I wanted to give it a medal, but I guess you can’t give tips medals on this site? So I gave your review a medal instead.

I’m curious to know what kind of “behaviors” a zombie displays that is explainable only by a fungus though.

Lol, Account Deletion- you’re so awesome. Hope you enjoyed your vacation. I don’t think the likelihood of me uncovering more shenanigans is very high, especially now that they’ve learned what not to do to make it noticeable. You make me feel like L or something.

If you don’t know who that is, he’s a character from an anime called Death Note. If you like shows that feature deductive process, it’s really worth trying a couple episodes. I don’t like very many anime, especially since I only watch english-dubbed, but this one’s really spectacular.

TK Shima: Oh, yeah, Stratagon’s important too. I think he and all the other higher-level reviewers (Andy, Granny, Bit and Bot, etc.) are, but since they don’t post quite as frequently, I wouldn’t consider them “lifeblood” but rather “sleeping giants” or perhaps “the elders of boardgaming.”

But anyway, you post the most frequently of anyone right now. They may not be as detailed or as well organized as Stratagon’s, but they appeal to a different kind of audience, one that may not want to read as much and wants a more concise view on the game, but still provides enough info to make a fairly adequate judgment on the game.

You also include bits of info that I couldn’t find anywhere else. For example: what dimensions does my table have to have to comfortably play Arkham Horror? You also usually include more empathetic info like if this expansion really make an impact on the game or how the game went over with your group. And you seem to take the price into account more than anyone else here, probably because you’re a college student, so if your gonna buy something, it better be worth the amount you’e paying.

But honestly, my favorite thing about your stuff is your house rules. I know I’ve used your 2-player Sentinels rule more than once and your Resistance house rule is genius, I’ve never gone back to Avalon because of that (Playing as a spy named “Phil” is hilarious.

Stratagon: That would be SO cool to have inspired a new achievement. Another thing I’d like to see added to the site is a discussion page that isn’t devoted to a particular game. Where we can just go and talk to each other kind of like we’re doing now. That would open up the site to a whole new social level.

Jagged Age- Well, you did get 13 free “yeses” (and perhaps a few medals) on all your stuff, so I’d argue the “nos” caused by my review simply made things even.

That being said, I believe much of this site’s current lifeblood content comes from you, Account Deletion, TK Shima, and Jeff W. I already added more to my “edit” part of my review to hopefully prevent any further damage to your rep. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe your apology to be sincere and so will grade any future content you post without prejudice.

And so peace returned to the realm of boardgaming.com.

Dexter- I’ve seen that movie. It’s not that great but I can totally see the connection to the game.

BTW, if you wanted to save your rep, I don’t think hiding behind a new profile name is the way to do it. This site’s community is pretty cool, I’m sure you could go back to your original profile name and carry on as before if you posted an apology somewhere.

Sorry I didn’t report my issue via email. I wasn’t aware that was an option. I can see why you’d want to be more discrete because the tips are deleted now. Apologies.

Jagged Age: In fact, 13 of your followers logged in in that time frame. All those followers have a few things in common: They are low level, joined BG after you did, have little to no reviews, comments, or discussion, and have zero effort put into their bios: Gaming Power, Papa Georgio, Maestro, Botwin, Franklin, Glory, Xtreme_Gamer, The Gambler, B_Road, Bryon_D_Man, Sierra, Buster, and Toki.

So… Jagged Age puts up 8 tips about Risk on the same day and just HAPPENS to get exactly 13/15 likes on EVERY single one of them within an hour of putting them up? And then gets the Novice Adviser achievement? I’m callin ya out. Betcha made 13 profiles yourself then liked them.
