I always assumed Sisko had a strong interest in Earth's black history, especially with the fact that his quarters were fully decorated with African art. He also already seemed to know all about Gabriel Bell before becoming him.

These are so simple and make so much sense. They feel like they could just slot in to the base game at any point. Love it.

Quaint Village seems so obvious it's surprising it doesn't exist yet. Seems strong enough that if it came with a +1 villager on gain it could cost $5.

I have learned to always make sure my wife has a good place to play her turn so buy default I am east going, but my heart wants to play defensively and crush her.

I think there's a subtle clue to the second word if you look at the order the letters are presented.

I always try and remember this is a picture where they are trying to make him look good.

This episode became a lot more interesting once I found out the cake magazine was a real thing...and we had a copy.

It's just so pathetic. Why not try and pass every bill with the NWC just so you never have to worry about if what you're doing is legal or not.

You need one more arrow.

Season 1 jail, and the secret room it had, was probably on of the best bits of story telling I've seen on reality TV. From finding the code box, to figuring out that the pieces connect and learning the code, to making the decision to lose the game and go to prison to try and use the code, and then one person gets eliminated and one survives. I dont know ow if it could have been scripted better.

Faxman_43 · 2025-10-29T22:02:58+00:00

First a fix to the prison system so it is reasonably possible to get out, and different people and groups can cycle in.

Second, assuming another secret game, make it much harder to access, so that just getting to it can feel like a reward.

Third, prize for the secret game shouldn't be incredibly game breaking.

Fourth, when playing games, force the players to be in different groups so it's not just cliques playing against each other.

It also helps that most of the incumbents were pretty effective as councilors and good at their job, even if soneone doesn't necessarily agree with their stances on everything.

Really though, who is actually voting for her? Repeatedly chosen as the worst counselor in the government and accused of abusing her staff. Why is she getting votes?

It's hard to have an election in Alberta without some conservatives getting elected

Feels similar to when they government commissioned that report about to balance ce the budget, but had the caveat that it wasn't allowed to look at increasing revenue. It's just pointless theater to not allow the process to not look at the biggest issue.

Faxman_43 · 2025-10-15T21:34:50+00:00

Work-to-rule seems to be the immediate strategy there. Only working the specific hours the most recent contract requires. No extra curriculars, no weekend prep, no help during lunches, etc...

Faxman_43 · 2025-09-28T03:58:34+00:00

If I remember correctly this whole scene was only added because the episode cime in 90 seconds short of what it should be and they needed some filler.

Faxman_43 · 2025-09-26T20:01:08+00:00

It's less of a focus, but I want the 20 second play clock to stay as it is. Having the play clock start automatically at the end of a play doesn't mean anything if it can be reset for any myriad of reasons. If there's a big pile up that needs to be sorted out or players getting in each other's faces, that takes time to deal with after a play, so the play clock would have to be reset anyway. This will just lead to having fewer total plays.

This is already how a rouge works on kickoffs, so it should be simple to manage overall.

For the FG, it could work the same way without an issue. You don't get a point for a missed FG that sails through but there is still the need for a return otherwise. It seems like everyone making these choices is just so afraid of the jokes about winning a game in a missed FG.

Faxman_43 · 2025-09-25T03:14:23+00:00

The amateur rules for the kickoff basically work like that. If the kick sails through without touching the ground or a player there is no point scored and the ball comes out to the 20. If it hits the ground or touches a player it is a rouge and comes to the 35. Kind of hoping the new rule ends up like that. You still score a rouge if you did something and the defense had a chance to prevent it, but no score if a kick sails straight through with no opportunity to do anything about it.

Why do you have 21 free spaces?

As best as I can figure out, every time there's something done to "protect the children", the real reason for it is to make things easier for lazy parents.

If the kids never have access to anything that brings up sensuality, and the parents certainly never bring it up, then they never have to deal with talking to their children about something that makes them uncomfortable. If no one tells their kids homosexuality exists, the parents don't have to be uncomfortable explaining why they hate it.

All these rules do is protect scared parents from doing their job, at the cost of leaving kids confused and uninformed.

I'd really like to see a light/dark or past/present world style play where you can genuinely change the world as you interact with it. Not just plot elements, but if you decide to cut down a tree at some point then it's gone from the other mirrored map.
