A lot of people said Elysium was bad, but I liked it even if it didn't match how good District 9 was.

Man District 9 was so good. I want a sequel some day even though it's totally unnecessary.

The end of the movie would hook into a sequel very nicely.

Oh it would, for sure, but the movie stands on its own perfectly well.

Also I am now learning that waiting for the end of the night on a game of mafia you're really interested in is agonizing. No wonder people are in multiples of these things at once.

They fly sorta like ladybugs in that they fly a little bit to get from one surface to another but can't seem to really control where they are going that well.

Ugh, ladybugs. Or Asian Ladybeetles, I guess, I feel like it's been a long time since I've seen a proper ladybug. I'm pretty sure there's a bunch in my apartment because that's just a thing that happens in winter in Minnesota, but they've all wound up crawling into the floor heating and can't get out because the way it's shaped, so every night I get to hear a bunch of them rattling around in there.

Still, beats having them flying around (or a moth infestation, that sounds *awful*)

i will sell my soul for more x wing miniatures

why do i want more ships, don't i have enough ships? i have fun enough with these ones...

...but the ghost from rebels. i can get the ghost from rebels... and i need a y wing... and the x wing expanison for porkins and wedge... and another y wing... and the punishing one for dengar... but i have to get most wanted first so i have some other scum and villiany guys

It is a terrifying affliction. I've reached a point with Magic where my fun with it is mostly draft and I'm indifferent to owning more cards. But the idea of more ships oh god I want more ships. I need Imperial Veterans to come out so I can have the Royal Guard TIE Defender to fly with my other aces, and the TIE Phantom looks really fun to fly too :saddowns:

I had a blast with CAH the first time I played it with friends.

Every time after that has been joyless and calculating. Every card going for shock humor has completely killed my ability to laugh at the game, because it's all entirely predictable after the first go around. The huge number of wordy cards that are kind of funny in and of themselves but completely fail to fit into the prompts at all definitely don't help matters--there's tons of times where someone will just pitch their hand because it's full of cards they'll never be able to use.

If you're worth more than what they're paying you, aren't you kind of losing out? I mean, to take it to an extreme, if some guy goes above and beyond and generates two million dollars worth of sales for his company and gets paid a grand total of $60,000, he's getting ripped off. The company almost certainly isn't going to look at that and say "Hey, we're really undervaluing this guy, we should reward him well for that effort", they're going to say "Hey, this guy produces profit completely out of proportion to what he costs us, let's do everything we can to keep him on short of actually paying him (because that would cost money). Call him employee of the year and give him a $100 gift card (his end of year review will be "Meets Expectations", with associated 3% raise).

The only way that guy is going to get value proportionate to what he's worth is by demanding it... and the business is going to dig its heels in as hard as they can, unless he proves he's looking elsewhere. At which point they will create a counteroffer that is complete poison even if he takes it, because they're going to be looking for a way to replace him now that they know he's aware of his own value. The only option is to jump ship.

If you look at anecdotes of CEOs, Premier League footballers and Hollywood movie stars none of them say "I got to where I am by half assing it until someone gave me a handout"

No, they got there by seizing every scrap of advantage that they could. Employers will give you as little as they think they can get away with, not as much as you're worth. Unless you actively push to be adequately compensated.

Soldiers games are fun, make me a leader in one tia

Pretty sure that being leader is the most stressful possible role in Soldiers.

Also, swingy is not the same thing as 'imbalanced'. In The Conquest of Qal, both threads had a pretty even chance of winning. I mean, it wasn't perfectly balanced--I think that Jocasta's improved cop was a larger benefit that Qal's improved item pool and advisor-kill for one--but it definitely could have gone either way. If one thread screws up and loses a queen, then yes, they're behind, but that isn't something that's an inherent advantage that one thread has over the other, because either side could get screwed over. It's like saying that chess is imbalanced because if you lose your queen you're down your queen for the rest of the game.

Hi all, stickup got me watching hockey and I have Eastside Hockey Manager on steam so I decided "Well I might as well do Mafia Hockey."

Picking a semi random team, I have decided to replace Arizona Coyotes with Mumbles Scumhunters. I'm gonna do a random draft to rebuild the league so I can't just look up "Who should I try to sign?"

Quote this post or PM me if you would like to be included, preferably with a position you would like to play.

I know nothing about hockey. I hope I do not get fired in the first season :ohdear:

Put me on defense, coach. The perfect blend of not having slapshots sent at my face and not needing to skate the entire rink.

Hey for Mafia Hockey folks, here is the first two years of the epilogue. Year 3 keeps running into errors so the save may be :rip: but I'm gonna try to get it going again later this week. My plan is to keep simming until all 25 of the players retire. A couple of old ones so we should be under 25 by year 4, but RF was only like 20 I think so it may take like 12 years to get him to retire.

Anyway years 1 and 2

Epilogue Year 1
Epilogue Year 2

:canada:

Stanley Cup, Norris trophy, 200 GP, 100 pts from Defense, alternate captain for Canada, fan pick for POTY... Now to hope I can make it to retirement without being brutally injured and see what I can parlay a good NHL career into :toot:

Thanks for putting in so much effort, CL, it's been fun to follow.
