Maddon expects "more of the same" from Chapman in Game 7. - Strongbad Nov 2, 06:11 3
- All hands on deck sort of dealio here. -- nm - budice Nov 2, 06:18

  - Well, Cubs do have a history in Game 6. -- nm - spamlet Nov 2, 06:21

FRRREEEEEEDDDOOOOMMMM! -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 06:08 1
- *steps in front of The Tall, dressed in a suit, holding a microphone* I'm Reagen's translator. I think what he's saying is that... - Mel Profit Nov 2, 06:20

  - Where's Hotkiss living these days? -- nm - decline Nov 2, 06:44

  - Is that 90 minutes in NYC traffic? -- nm - con_carne Nov 2, 06:31 1
    - pmuch -- nm - Tim Nov 2, 06:37

  - Maybe Brian is Pittsburgh? -- nm - Inigo Nov 2, 06:32
  - Isn't Dano in Harrisburg or thereabouts? -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 06:28 1
    - right! (I forgot because I never ever see him. we need to rectify that.) -- nm - spy cookie amanda jones Nov 2, 06:30
- Toronto people about three hours away....I think Jenbro is father but might be closer. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 2, 06:26
- The NYCers maybe? 5hrs. - Mel Profit Nov 2, 06:25 4
  - I thought the NE was lousy with STers - con_carne Nov 2, 06:27 1
    - Right. It's too early for this type of thinking. I cracked. - Mel Profit Nov 2, 06:31
  - ... if you don't include Diva. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 2, 06:26 1
    - I'm going to pay for this...aren't I? -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 06:30

  - I'm Westside. -- nm - jnine Nov 2, 09:02
- Max and I work just a few blocks away from each other (pfm not much further I believe). House wise, either Max or Loosi. -- nm - MDH Nov 2, 06:12

    - I wrote MDH. Not sure what happened there! -- nm - Inigo Nov 2, 06:13

  - Are you absolutely sure about that -- nm - con_carne Nov 2, 06:11 1
    - No because that's the walking distance and not as the crow flies. :-) Or is there someone outside stalking me? -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 06:14
- Subby - 80k or so. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 06:09

CIV VI Game 2: Win. Was going for a Religious victory but had one civ left to convert when I actually landed a Culture victory - oblique Nov 2, 05:30 17
- The "warless" win was a trademark of mine in Civ 5, but that seems harder to manage this time with the more aggressive AI. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 05:36 16
  - Frickin' Gandhi. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 05:52 2
    - the glitch in Civ 1 that turns him into a Killer remains one of my favorite game mistakes ever -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:54 1
      - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 06:00
  - I'm not sure why they didn't attack. I was on a continent by myself (though rather small) to start. Eventually two of the AI had cities on my - oblique Nov 2, 05:37 12
    - That's probably why - land invasions are a lot easier than sea. Plus if a Civ sends its invasion force to the other side of the world, its neighbours - Roger More Nov 2, 05:40
    - can cities flip due to culture or religion in 6? I used to love the culture bomb in Civ 4 -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:39 10
      - No. I'm not exactly sure what Culture does but it seems related to Tourism. Religion is a distinct thing from "owning" a city - oblique Nov 2, 05:42 9
        
        Culture works more like Science now - you progress through a Civics tree similar to the tech tree. - Roger More Nov 2, 05:46 4
        
        I had a weird thing where after a certain point I couldn't build Archeologists anymore. Couldn't figure out why -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 06:01 3
        
        Archeology museums filled up? -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 06:11 2
        
        Yeah. It was just weird I couldn't build more even if that was the case -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 06:14 1
        
        You need an archeology museum to build an archeologist, so it makes sense that iff they're filled, you can't build them -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 06:57
        
        ahh, so culture doesn't extend your borders in 6? -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:45 3
        
        It still allows cities to grow the number of tiles they have, I think. -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 05:48 1
        
        Looking it up, yes - more culture = faster border growth. But once those borders run up against another Civ there's no way to change that I can see. - Roger More Nov 2, 05:52
        
        I think maybe it does. It isn't really clear from the UI thought -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 05:46
Happy birthday, Groiny! Woo hoo!!! -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 05:27

- Cubs -- nm - budice Nov 2, 05:34
- Cubs over Miami -- nm - Strongbad Nov 2, 05:34
- Cleveland -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:28
- I think it comes down to whoever scores first. Cubs do, the momentum becomes an avalanche. Indians do, they bring Miller in in the 4th and ice it. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 2, 05:27 1
  - If Kluber is pitching well, and has a lead, they won't bring Miller in that early. Maybe the 6th inning. -- nm - Inigo Nov 2, 05:35

WTF??? Nothing like waking up to news that overnight 2 police officers were ambushed in their cars and killed mere blocks from your house. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 04:52 4

This year people are mad that the Starbucks cup says 'Unity' and has people hugging each other on it because that spreads 'liberal bias'. -- (edited) - Deev Nov 2, 04:02 10

  - Cray. -- (link) - Deev Nov 2, 05:16 1
    - So, if unity is a democratic ideal then divisiveness is what they want? I don't get what they're upset about. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 06:14
  - It's pro Clinton! There are no guns. -- nm - jnine Nov 2, 04:32 1
    - That's the irony. It's literally about unity. One single line used to draw all the people. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 2, 04:40
- People just get way too offended over stupid crap like this - Strongbad Nov 2, 04:11
- Do those people even go to Starbucks? - Andie Nov 2, 04:11 1
