Return of the Friday Freakout

I would just like to say that I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to say.

wow pete's posts in that bgg thread are pretty good. "I don't like horses, they bite" lol

HEY OP LADY! (lol, so awesome).

The weirdest attack on Pete in the thread is the one who tells him to back off cuz he wasn't there so he wouldn't know when the OP is asking the entire BGG community for advice from people that weren't there. Isn't that the whole point?

Yeah, i think if there is no friay freakout here, someone needs to make one at BGG which seems easy enough to do

Two weeks ago it looked like I was on the cusp of having my radio show syndicated in New York and Philadelphia, last week they laid off 35 of our 50 staff and flipped our station from news/talk to adult contemporary, next week I might be out of a job too.

Life is fucking terrifying sometimes.

Last night my wife and I were playing TTR Pocket pass and play style. She wanted to start the whole game over because she accidently laid 4 trains down in the wrong spot. I told her no, just keep playing and find another way to finish your route. I had to find the route for her to get her to keep playing, but before I did she went ape shit because I wouldn't let her start the game over.

Look, suck it up and you might still win. At least finish the game and then start a new one.

Dude, you're crazy. That's when the negotiations happen at my place.

"Well, that's bullshit. Why does this game not have an undo button???"

It does. If you undo the button that holds my pants closed, in about a half hour we can restart.

I remember 15 years or so ago, I'm playing hotseat Warlords on my PC with my g/f of the time. We had a standing pact to not attack each other until all the other 6 AI players have been eliminated. She was storm giants and I was the humans I think. So a few hours go by and we're down to the last AI player and it looks like she's going to be able to take him out, so I start making preparations and park my massive army outside her front gate.

She finally notices this and asks, "why do you have guys near my capital?" and I answer, "you're about to take out the final player and then it's you against me, no?"


BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE and she refuses to keep playing. lol, awesome.

Cloudy, I'm lucky that my wife doesn't play like yours does. My friend Dom does that and we can't play board games anymore together.

LOL

Lady is an unmitigated bitch. The original post isn't all that fun, wait for the comments, and most importantly, her responses.

Jamaica is serious business. Ask her husband. He gets it. Maybe. Probably rarely.

My wife does the "Oh shit... Can I re-do that?" all the time. Like every single game we play. If we're learning a game or she catches her mistake early enough where we don't have to spend 5 minutes undoing the game state then I'm cool with it. I do it sometimes, it's not that big of a deal. Especially if it's a long game. But if it's a short game, one we're really familiar with, or one where everyone needs to spend 5 minutes each undoing the turns they've taken since? Too bad. Just move on.

It's always "you against me" when you aren't playing a co-op. Alliances are only for convenience. Few months ago we're at a con and learning In the Shadow of the Emperor. (Side note: not impressed) On the very first turn it's kind of like a game set-up phase where everybody places pieces in spots they think are going to suit them best. I had put all the pieces I wanted where I wanted and had one extra one. So I put it in a place that blocks my wife from getting some silly bonus.

Wife: "What the hell?"
Me: "What?"
Wife: "Why'd you put that there, I want that!"
Me: "That's why I put it there."
Guy Teaching the Game: "But then she doesn't get the bonus."
Me: "Exactly."
Guy Teaching the Game: "Man, you're kind of a dick!"

At that point the other player present did a slow-motion jaw drop and I started giggling at how upset people were getting. But I kept my damn piece there.
