Trashfest 2008 background

I am hard core AT, I say no to all of the following: They just are not AT games.

>Euros not AT
>Scoring = -1 Trash Points * # of player (-2 points if the game includes farm animals or royal favors)
>
>Agricola, Caylus, Puerto Rico, Settlers, Carcassonne, GOA, Age of Steam, Power Grid, RA, Amun Re, etc.
>
>Lose 2 Points for complaining about die rolls, randomness or rules. Lose 0 points for complaining about the smell in the wargamers room.
>
>*Featured Games
>
>On the bubble Struggle of Empires



Scoring looks fine to me, there is not perfect way to score these things and I say we stick to the normal GCoM format as much as possible.

You guys have no idea how desperately I would love to attend this. It sounds absolutely incredible.

Welcome back from vacation Malloc. Uba is right the negative points for Euros was kind of a lame joke that a guy who just got back from a week of drinking Cerveza and Tequila wouldn't get. I'll probably drop the negative points for the actual event but I'm tempted to keep them in just to prevent so one coming up to me and say "Can I get Victory Points for playing Puerto Rico?" Malloc you're the tie breaker on Struggle of Empires so we'll drop it.

Also, I received my copy of Star Craft last week. We'll have to play when I get back from my vacation.
