VENUE CHANGE Tuesday 9th August @ THE RED DEER

Kes wrote:Yes I think so

Cool.

I wont be there tonight - but if anyone mentions that they cannot get access to the forum let me know (username - preferably). In short it would appear that forumotion (the parent site behind this one) have an automatic spam detector and unfortunately it works off usernames across the whole site (and sister domains). So if someone somewhere with a username spams just a single forum site all users across forumotion with the same username are blocked. A simple change of username (i.e. "Fred" to "Fred_S" can fix access issues).

Have fun and see you next week... back at the Uni Arms.

A little late in the day now I know, but I quite fancy 5 tribes and some shorter games e.g. Race/Roll ft Galaxy, 2v2 Star Realms, or other shorter ones - open to offers (7 wonders - if someone brings?). Anyone interested?

WOW! What a brilliant idea! Clearly more sensible than filtering by something that would identify an actual individual, like email address of IP. Forumotion - designed by geniuses!

I'd be up for this. I'd quite like to play Race but am happy with anything. I've mainly played it two player so would like to try it with more people if possible. I've the main game and the first three expansions if anyone wants to play it with prestige points as well. Happy either way though.

It is also linked to email addresses and IP, I think it's just over-zealous.

I have Bear Valley, Catan, a version of Flux and Impulse in my bag for tonight. Been a while since I Catan'd - anyone fancy it?

I'll play Catan Karl, not played it for ages.

I've had 2 users change their username now and fix access problems. Both had common 'actual name' usernames. As Karl says the forumotion system will block email and IP aswell but those are unique and hopefully none of us are spamming other forums and so it shouldn't pick those up to black list. If the change of username doesn't work - could be IP/email address is black listed. I will need to contact the admins of forumotion to get sorted if it's the case... Hopefully not - as the time difference means 24hr+ To get those unblocked.

I'll be along and play 7 wonders and some others (I'll bring 7 wonders)

I'll play catan. Been playing on my iPad and fancy a real life game. Last time I played there was no bricks and it was so slow and boring.

Still wanting Impulse if you or anyone is keen on it.    Looked up Bear Valley.

I'm interested in a game of this type. Couldn't find rules anywhere but you mentioned that it's simple.

I'd love to get in on 7 Wonders if I can - if you don't mind a bit of teaching. I've wanted to try it out for ages but somehow its never quite happened - feels like I'm missing out.

Would also be more than happy to play 5 Tribes again - really enjoyed it last time I played.

I won't be there tonight - sorry to devastate you all...

Is Supernova next week full then? Pandemic is cancelled so I can play if there's space.

actually Catan sounds pretty good. Been a long time too.
Can I join your game Karl?

Sorry Andy, we'll see if it's any good and then I can bring it again if you still wanna play.

We have 4 for Catan - me, Liz, Kes and Mike.

I've got the 5/6 player expansion for the base game or the standard Seafarers expansion.

Can't make it tonight as it happens sorry, will bring 7 wonders next week instead

A word of warning, having arrived at the pub early. It's quiz night so downstairs is going to be full, a lot of the tables are reserved from 8pm. We may struggle for space upstairs.

Sorry guys. I'm a big fat cancel. Woman time!

Thanks for a good night everyone, I really enjoyed it. Hopefully I will see you all soon.

It was good last night.

I'll bring the thing along again sometime. Next time though, I'd like to be an outpost member.
