Kudos for getting this one Skeletor! I think instead of teaming up with Tom V. for a podcast, that Hanno would be hilarious. - Ska_baron Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:43:45 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=155:the-hot-throne-20-questions-with-hanno&catid=55&Itemid=100143#comment-510 [quote]\"I\'m Hanno. Yeah, that Hanno.\" Honestly, when he said that, I was expecting the Carthaginian general. I was a little disappointed to find out it was actually just some game designer. [/quote] How do you know it\'s not him, reincarnated? Could explain his hatred of trees and love for animeeples. - Mr Skeletor Sun, 03 Feb 2008 15:28:11 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=155:the-hot-throne-20-questions-with-hanno&catid=55&Itemid=100143#comment-616 \"I\'m Hanno.

I ate all that shit for nothing? - Juniper Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:08:21 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=155:the-hot-throne-20-questions-with-hanno&catid=55&Itemid=100143#comment-595 Hanno can be as cool as he wants, it\'s just sad that the Agricola forums are an official joke-free zone. (Believe me - I tried...) But maybe that\'s more a problem of the site where those forums vegetate. - Schweig!

Easily the best interview I\'ve read in awhile. And I should apologize for being mean to Hanno about the whole translating Agricola. Lookout is a fairly fringy company by German standards. They\'ve kind of assaulted the 90 minute time limit imposed on German games. Triumvirate *is* totally an AT game. All of the elements are there, although a weird reductionist streamlining technique was involved in development. The one thing that Lookout is also doing is obsessively created games. They are Euros, but they aren\'t SdJ targetted. They aren\'t games from the Knizia and Kramer game factories. One of the things that strikes me particularly interesting about Agricola is that it should not exist. No designer who is intending to publish a Euro creates a game that requires that many pieces. No publisher blows out the price by adding what amounts to the first two expansions into the base game. It just isn\'t done. And so at least for my part, when I look at Essen reports, I immediately scan for whatever Lookout is doing, and what the Czechs are cooking up. - moofrank Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:50:06 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=155:the-hot-throne-20-questions-with-hanno&catid=55&Itemid=100143#comment-583 [i]1) Strumming with the thumb[/i] Picks are for losers.

Guess it\'s still better than playing with plastic toys like Ameritards do... - Schweig!

For your next guest, go get the one guy who makes all the optimization engine games in Germany. I bet he has designed an optimization engine to make them more efficiently. Maybe he\'s Dr.Z, the Daimler boss!

I must have gone through two cases of Schlitz and 5 gallons of gas in my chainsaw cutting all that shit down. I\'ve gotta say, Frank - you have set the gold standard for game interviews. I don\'t think Tom Vasel could ever achieve that level of greatness. - robartin Wed, 30 Jan 2008 20:24:37 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=155:the-hot-throne-20-questions-with-hanno&catid=55&Itemid=100143#comment-549 This isn\'t some kinda April Fool\'s joke is it? That guy sounds so much like Skelly I thought Frank might be talking to himself. But if legit I suggest we give Hanno some kind of honorary AT status, if not for the games he prefers, then at least for his AT attitude. Bill N. - BigLizard Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:21:50 +0100
