Nudge #gamestorm game name? Thanks. in reply to brookscl #

@jdludlow Kindle & its content DRM are a transitional platform in the same way that RIAA's view of music dist is proving to be transitional. in reply to jdludlow #
RT @bokardo "Relationship Symmetry in Social Networks: Why @Facebook will go Fully Asymmetric" http://bit.ly/nPGBA #Twitter #Facebook #
@jphatala Yes, that's why how and why 409 spam and a great host of other spam and confidence tricks work. #
@jphatala http://tinyurl.com/5kal5 That said, Social media and value is built on the presumption of trust. #
@brooksci Which 18xx was this? It isn't 1861 or 1850. http://tinyurl.com/cw5q3g #
@ingredientx A not-so-small cadre of designers from #BGDF attended #gamestorm. #
@Veronica The Forbidden Planet on Tottenham Court Rd is ace, tho sadly far more corp-glossy than its days on Denmark St. #
@Veronica If a museum buff, don't miss the Victoria & Albert. Some of the best pre-raphaelites are (were?) there. #
On Fri played 1846, 18Mex & 1832. I loathed '46, loved Mex, and sucked on '32. Not a Dixon fan but '32 won't leave my head. Promising! #
@brookscl Yep, that is 1873! Thanks! #
@jdludlow #18xx my comfort games: http://is.gd/pBfw http://is.gd/pBfC 2P Abstracts : stuck at gamenight, only 2P. Normally not my bag. in reply to jdludlow #
@brookscl SoH: I see groupthink & poor play for brutal trainrush. Not newbie-suitable game. Newbies can't plan thru the trainrush. #18xx in reply to brookscl #
@ChrisTheCat 18Mex is very popular locally. Love the poison 3, Phase 3.5 and Phase 5/NdM evolutions ala 1856's CGR evolution. 18TN? #18xx in reply to ChrisTheCat #
@brookscl Gahh again? Site hijacked by spammers briefly years ago. The reactions seem immortal. I'll request review again. in reply to brookscl #
1812 looks more interesting than 1861. Files posted to #18xx mailing list on Y!. http://is.gd/pBmf #
@ChrisTheCat I have 18TN here. Given 18Mex's success I see it being played soon. Will report. #18xx in reply to ChrisTheCat #
@brookscl 18TN should have fast trainrush, but not 18Mex's or 1841's speed. Two more weeks to #18xx night here (2nd Mon of month). !Wait in reply to brookscl #
@brookscl Dunno if newbie & interesting #18xx possible. 18EZ trying. i've doubts. Teacher so important. Hard show game's depth w/o scaring. in reply to brookscl #
@jphatala Trust & reciprocity not quite the same. Some iterative prisoner's dilemma here. Winning strategies all include trust by default. in reply to jphatala #
@jphatala That goes both ways. There's also trust in -ves. Trust in cheating and failing for instance. Not reciprocal, but needed. in reply to jphatala #
@andrew_chen Screw followers and subscribers. More actively participating members of the network, not just lurkers. in reply to andrew_chen #
RT @jdludlow: I laughed. http://hugeurl.com/ #
@raphkoster I filter and read my filters, same as email. #twitter in reply to raphkoster #
@raphkoster Tweetdeck (mostly). Nice UI. Limited # of filters tho. I also RSS my #twitter feed and filter/read that. in reply to raphkoster #
@toddbert I like the simplicity but not enough contention--too rarely an auction mid-resolution. Card luck too strong but still working. in reply to toddbert #
The journalistic media is dead. Long live the journaling media: http://is.gd/pY6W #
@elenuial @raphkoster Own your own intent invokes the intentional fallacy. Intent is less important than the recipient's perception. in reply to elenuial #
My online communications just got a lot easier with Google's Autopilot: http://is.gd/q1uR #
@raphkoster That's Okay, @neilhimself just hired on at the Guardian to help rewrite all the parliamentary speeches: http://is.gd/pY6W in reply to raphkoster #
RT @Joshlam Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay! http://tw2.us/eD (via @hnshah) #
@morganramsay The argument is subjective, of course it is uncertain. However audience is larger, sets discussion & thus determines effect. in reply to morganramsay #
@ingredientx I wonder. Do any current browsers still support marquee? in reply to ingredientx #
@ericries Isn't that a direct implication of the thousand true fans model? in reply to ericries #
@ChrisTheCat Gods I would miss MH if I ever moved to a different mail platform. The ease of file/text-tool processing mail is ace. in reply to ChrisTheCat #
@morganramsay Obviously there is authorial lifecycle, but there never is perfect duplication of intent in recip & there doesn't need to be. in reply to morganramsay #
@elenuial Agreed, responsible for the effect you create, intentional or not. Intent isn't an effect thus less social responsblty for intent #
@morganramsay Is question of intent or coherency & hitting what aimed at? I see intent as a mere tool. May be talking past each other. in reply to morganramsay #
SGI, coolest company in the Valley in their day & hugely fun to work at, gives up the ghost and is sold for pity money: http://is.gd/qdGx #
@ingredientx Thanks man. SGI was...the best. I got there late but they were still glorious. in reply to ingredientx #
#boardgame design Q: What do international currency trade & international currency markets make you think of? Looking for memes. #bgdf #bgg #
I hear crashing pride. Better than SGI's fate tho: RT @alleyinsider: IBM Cuts Its Price For Sun To $9-$10 http://bit.ly/lwfVc #
Great -- nail on Hwy 101, then it bubbled. New tires here I come. Goodbye afternoon. http://twitpic.com/2qktq http://is.gd/qon2 #
@icheyne If anything I wonder if offline friends will find out if I'm less of a geek than they think I am. #
@ingredientx FF game neat but diff dir than I'm going: money as idea backed by confidence only & e/ing relative & no real values for a/ing #
Another form of YAGNI/GIB/WIB/etc -- RT @antrod: Fantastic Gruber piece on building long lasting systems: http://bit.ly/Gp4hX #
@ingredientx The notion is for each player to entirely control issuance of at least one currency. At some point it is all just money. in reply to ingredientx #
