the_voivod: I wonder how long it'll take for Banished to swing back 'round. I have a passing interest in the game (honestly, probably not a diehard fan of the genre) but one presumes it'll take notnox.com or even antinox.com years to come back.

jakob187: I'm back after some good sleep, and the Fresh pile has only moved through about six or seven games...and none of them were LoG 2?

LET'S DO THIS!

Also, morning to you all!

the_voivod: No wonder so many people can get embarrassed! I just say I want something boxed (/Noxxed) or wrapped up.

the_voivod: Australians are trying to make it illegal to take food you paid for home? Exercise your food rights!

bew1977: Banished was fun for me for about a day or so. It's an interesting premise but not deep at all.

Tarnicus: Some restaurants are making people sign waivers to take food home!! It is ridiculous.

Tarnicus: Haha someone had to link that clip :D

jakob187: Guys, let's kill the political talk and instead host a huge D&D game in here...because why not? I'll DM. Let's go.

You are sitting in a tavern, filled with low-life patrons grumbling among themselves. The barkeep, a bloke who looks to be in his mid-30s, is staring you down intensely.

To your right, you can see a set of stairs in a covered entrance that lead upstairs to where your room was. To the left, you see the door that leads into this fine establishment. You can see a table of well-dressed gentlemen across the room, also looking over at you every once in a while.

Magnitus: Waste is just evil and there is too much of it as it is.

I think the above is yet another case of the political elite acting as a very poor proxy for their electorate or poor proxy for plaint pragmatic common sense in general.
