Ok, I love Oasis. I don't care what you say.<BR/><BR/>Point 2) I like Rush. A lot. I don't care what you say.<BR/><BR/>Point 3) ASL and all the other war game type acronyms are just not my thing at all. Zero interest. Nice article Michael I did read the whole thing but it just does not float my boat at all. If they develop the system into a super hero game like Juniper suggested let me know.<BR/><BR/>Point 4) Bgg. Yes, there are things that I wish were different BUT - I disagree that there is not fun discussion there. A lot of it is in Chit Chat. That is where I hang out the most. That is where I find the people I gel with the most. I venture outside of that to the Werewolf forum which is a niche within a niche of its own.<BR/><BR/>Yes, there are never ending "suggest for me threads" and blah blah blah, yes the navigation is errr, esoteric. And yes it IS a business now. But it is also what you make of it, ya know? I like bantering with a bunch of the people just as much as I like the banter here. I try to stay out of most of the shit storms. Usually. Sorta. <BR/><BR/>I do agree with the influence factor - that is definitely there but I think that is probably true for any little niche don't you? I mean I get sucked into soccer jerseys reading ESPN's soccer news. <BR/><BR/>I don't think that is BGGs fault per se, so much as people just taking things WAY too fucking seriously. I think the best thing to do (for me) is when I see that type of stuff, I just go make fun of it with the chit chatters.<BR/><BR/>Point the last) Good luck on Greedo.

At the time (1997-98) people were passing files, translations, and errata mostly by email and paper copies. <BR/><BR/>When I built the Gaming Dumpster, it was intended to archive all of the translations I had made. I just added (very, very basic) web accessibility so that others could grab and add translations and files and stuff, as well as reviews. <BR/><BR/>BGG originally only had that layout, along with session reports and ratings, as well as a better database backend and a moderator approval system for new content. (This is actually quite necessary. The Dumpster was becoming filled up with total crap, basically web graffiti.)<BR/><BR/>Lists, Forums, advertising, and the other ephemera were added by Aldie over the years. It does mean that the original purpose of the site is not that well represented anymore. The extra crap has made it so that translations take 4-7 DAYS for approval.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811769968708731746.post-13437368762637272752008-01-07T08:45:00.000-08:002008-01-07T08:45:00.000-08:00Hey, now that all the adults are sequestered while...Hey, now that all the adults are sequestered while they finish off their top-secret "Project: Gabbo," shouldn't the rest of us be taking over this place?<BR/><BR/>Shouldn't we be anti-shill rating the forthcoming FFG edition of COSMIC ENCOUNTER, or something?Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905667009014233372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811769968708731746.post-72575859022785252712008-01-07T08:12:00.000-08:002008-01-07T08:12:00.000-08:00Can anyone tell me which F:AT article first coined...Can anyone tell me which F:AT article first coined the phrase "Fun Murderer" (I tried to find it but couldn't spot it easily)?

As it stands I like BGG as a database for games, and I do appreciate reviews (well good ones at least), and the ability to track my own game collection. Game specific forums are nice for clearing up any rules questions too. But I don't really feel much a part of the BGG community as a whole. It's just not a place I want to hang out at online. For that I go to other forums. Plus I really don't like to discuss games on BGG either. I wish the moderation was less than what it was and people there as a whole were a little bit more laid back.Lagdufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175067753730511172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811769968708731746.post-48621733305376196752008-01-05T15:19:00.001-08:002008-01-05T15:19:00.001-08:00juniper said..."The idea that the quality of a gam...juniper said...<BR/>"The idea that the quality of a game can be evaluated on a numerical scale is incredibly stupid, ... The entertainment value of a game depends greatly on factors that are not intrinsic to the game itself. More than anything else, the entertainment value of a game is contingent on the group with whom you play it. ... When you ask a large group of BGG users to assign numerical ratings to games, they'll try to rate what they perceive to be the intrinsic qualities of a game, because the other, environmental factors are too subjective, too particular. ... If a game is relatively insensitive to these environmental factors, then a BGG user can rate it a 9 or a 10 with confidence, since she will assume that any other BGGer's experience of the game will be similar to hers. If she can't make that assumption, she might dock the game a point or two."<BR/>Intrinsic qualities? Wouldn't that mean being objective and not rating games based on the anticipation factor? *cough* Agricola *cough* 'Fraid I'm being insensitive and rating pretty much on the environmental factors. And with confidence! Guess I must be using the ratings wrongly. Even worse, I don't dock a point or two due to being unable to assume other BGGer's experience will be similar. I know it'll be different, unlike many of them I don't have a butt impalement. If anything, I'm rating the 'groups' (the players in the group vary) reaction to the game, predominantly how much I enjoyed it but modified by the others reactions.
