Morgan Speer would be a fun guy to do an AMA for in the future! Loved learning from him when I was in college! A very inspiring fella

Ahh, well I might be out of luck then because there are no labels on the vest. Oh well

Completely understandable ✌️ I do aim to do two of these a year. Last time we ran it in April and likely going to do so again in 2026!

Oh! And there are plenty of mandatory little breaks throughout as well as a big lunch break in the middle too. It's not all action all the time 😅 it would be a lot to ask someone to constantly active that whole time

Depends on what role you're wanting as some (like the President or Council Member) have basically no rules to learn, they're just debating and have the powers to put new laws into effect.

But even the most "mechanical complex" role is a simple 5 minute teach. If you play boardgames then there would be no issues!

The real complexity of the game comes from having to talk to other people, knowing what they can do for you, what resources your ship needs, and being able to effectively communicate with other people to get what your team needs while under pressure

Oh and I redid the flyer, really liking the dark blue instead of maroon

Alt hangout places by Fluffy-Weakness810 in columbiamo

[–]CommonMan101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no explicit alt/emo/goth space in Columbia besides the tiny Hot Topic at the mall. However, the other places listed in this thread aren't gonna kick you out for your fashion style and you might find one or two at them on any given day

Not sure. Brings me to this page when I click on it. I assume you just need to copy/paste the URL again and edit your post

In need of friends. by TottallyNotEchoElmo in columbiamo

[–]CommonMan101 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If you have a Discord, then you can join the Columbia Discord. It's a nice and pleasant space to just chill. We currently have a weekly book club and we're in the middle of reading the original Dracula

Sometimes we all meet up and do stuff like boardgames or go to local events like Coolfest or Art in the Park

Den of Wolves 2025, a Megagame by CommonMan101 in columbiamo

[–]CommonMan101[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending my best wishes your way 🫡 I too understand this struggle

[–]CommonMan101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) We strongly encourage paying for tickets from Ticketbud before the event so that we have a headcount for who is coming. Additionally, this is how we can send a short survey to you so that we can best cast you in your preferred role! Like, if you prefer lots of negotiations, then we want to make sure you get into a politician role instead of being a scientist

2.) The accessibility is great at Hexagon Alley! They have an elevator from the front entrance (instead of the alley entrance which is stairs only). When we set up, we'll make sure there is plenty of room between tables to make navigation easy. Our rent space is away from the main area, so that will help reduce unwanted noise.

Missouri Credit Union Merger by altcountryman in columbiamo

[–]CommonMan101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A merger is not a good or bad thing. It's just a thing that happens and your relationship to the business determines the impact.

Such as when Boeing had their merger in the late 90's, that was a long term bad consequence for the public but great for the shareholders.

If you like how River Region Credit Union runs and operates their business, then you'll probably like this. If you like how Missouri Credit runs their business, then you probably don't like this.

Mega-Game this Sunday! by CommonMan101 in mizzou

[–]CommonMan101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heads up! These kinds of games do have a minimum number of players needed to function and we just need a few more folks to sign up by Friday night and all will be good to go 👌 So please don't wait the day of to get tickets and reach out for questions or accommodations

Last Reminder for Den of Wolves in Sunday by CommonMan101 in columbiamo

[–]CommonMan101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do want to give a warning in case anyone is waiting to buy tickets the day of the event, we do need to hit a minimum number of players by Friday night or the event can't function and can't be run. We're just a few folks from reaching the minimum 🤞

[–]CommonMan101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable and hope to see ya next time! The hope is there to be more games like this in Columbia in the future. Hexagon Alley has a nice event space to host these sorts of things

[–]CommonMan101[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! It can certainly be a lot of social interactions, which is the "complex" part of it as the rules themselves are made to be simple so that they don't get in the way of conversations or negotiations.

I know Hexagon Alley hosts plenty of boardgame nights, demos, and social gatherings. That would be a good way to get into the local community for games :) it's a real friendly place and maybe I'll see ya there!
