"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."
I was tempted to get a feline or two involved in my picture, but it would likely have ended with claw marks on my cards. And the dice. And me. :zoro:

I thought we were supposed to get good gifts.

We have two cats, but we also have two goons in the household, so I imagine that evens out.

My household has 2 cats and 3.5 goons (my wife has an account, but has literally never posted and only lurked for about a week). I'm messing up the ratio here...

So how did Hills & Sheep go? Finding recommendations for a good expansion not in BB4 was like trying to use the Board Game thread to find a good game - everyone hates everything, especially the thing you just decided would be best, but especially the thing you just switched to because of all the negativity on your first choice.

The Board game thread seems to hate love letter too, but gently caress em, I know better :argh:

Update: Love Letter went down great, we are probably going to play a lot of it. :getin:

Hills & Sheep was also well-liked because it added some complexity without dragging things down, though we haven't tried every expansion we have yet so it might be a while before we use it again. I have several Carcassonne groups though so this will probably see a ton of use between them. Thanks, Santa! :buddy:

Right on - yeah, this was through MM. I'm bad at paying over retail and equally bad at resisting good deals, so I think this is (sort of) going to work out just great :)

[b]No Pun Intended[/i], I don't think I got an email from you explicitly signing up for LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 2? If I did, I must have missed it in the swarm, can you re-send? I know we've exchanged other emails but my "system for making sure nothing gets lost" requires it.

Speaking of LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 2, it now has 7 goons signed up, which means it will either get going on Sunday, OR, if even one more goon signs up, it'll get going immediately!

I have been having fun santa-ing and santee-ing and racking up lots of overtime otherwise, so I will sign up for the last spot in lightning round 2! Here is my post, slightly amended!

I got to leave work late today and while in rush hour traffic was called by my mildly irritated wife asking why I'd ordered something from the UK, especially with Christmas coming up and from a company she somewhat recognized, called "Mantic". I got home and saw my awesome present from my awesome Santa:



Evil dwarves with guns! A Christmas miracle! Thank you, Santa!

I think almost everyone does. There's a lot of pageviews that don't correspond to posts, and people often send me worried emails when their tracking indicates their gift arrived but the santee hasn't posted about it.

It's why there's Rule 7:

Leperflesh posted:

7. Post in the thread when you receive a gift
You can open it right away or you can wait till your preferred Official Holiday Date and open it then. Regardless, you need to post in the thread as soon as your gift has arrived. This way your anxious Santa knows you got your present, and I can confirm they have fulfilled their duty by putting a symbol into a box on a spreadsheet, which I loving love doing, you don't even know. Please don't blow this off. Every year a few people dutifully send their gifts, and then disappear from the thread, and we are left with no easy way to confirm that they also received what they were supposed to. That's not being a Grinch, but it is a source of anxiety for your Santa and for me and that's not very nice.

Inverse World! I've wanted to get my mitts on this for a long time now, this will definitely be played soon.



A terrifying card! And a starter set for a Planescape-based CCG I had never heard of before! I love stuff i've never heard of! This would be worth it just for the DiTerlizzi card art, but i'll be walking through it with some more card-oriented friends over the holiday and seeing how it holds up. And it's out of print so I can't burn my money buying boosters for it!

Thank you, Santa! It's just what I wanted, and both of these are definitely going to see a lot of use in the next few weeks.
