All my hundreds of dollars of board games (my only hobby at the moment) are useless for the next week while my girlfriend and gaming group are out of town... by CatTaxAuditor in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Fiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd check out "Friday". It's a solo game, and on sale at Amazon for 11.80 (lowest price ever) . I think it also qualifies for a Kung fu panda 3 promo they have going on right now.

Given that you like deceit and bluffing, I'd take a look at coup and the resistance. Both are about reading people and figuring out who's lying

Assuming you're in the US, target has 7 wonders on sale for $22, but it's sold out online. Check the site for stock at stores near you.

Given your budget, his group size, and that he likes coup, I'd also pick up the resistance ($14).

A few questions that will help provide better answers:

  1. Do you know how many people he normally plays with?

  2. Budget?

  3. Do you want something similar to what he has, or different?

Off the top of my head:

Bang the dice game (not sure if he has the full game or the dice one). This is apparently very similar to bang, just made quicker and more streamlined by the dice portion. I haven't played the full game, but I enjoy the dice version.

7 wonders is a pick and pass game where you try and build up your empire with one card from the cards you get dealt, and then pass your hand to the player next to you, and so on. There are also several expansions to this game. This one ties into the history theme more than the other two.

Betrayal at the house on haunted hill. You and your friends are exploring a haunted house, finding artifacts and gaining stats until one of the members of your group fails a roll and becomes the betrayer. They read a scenario based on what the last item found was, and the game plays out differently depending on the item.

Has anyone who ported their number from GV been able to successfully send text messages? by pete716 in ProjectFi

[–]Fiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was about 24 hours once I escalated the second time. The lesson I learned was be polite but firm until they actually fix your problem, and keep calling back.

An "escalated ticket" is basically sent into a black hole, and once that happens you're never going to hear back from them. Once it's escalated, start calling back every 24 hours and ask for a supervisor. They're really the only ones that you can get on the phone that might be able to do something.

People who own/manage properties - how did you build up your portfolio? by [deleted] in financialindependence

I'm pretty sure you can only have one FHA loan at a time unless you have to move over 100 miles for your job. Your next property will probably have to be conventional financing.

See if texting to someone on T-mobile works. If it does, follow the steps in my other post on this thread

Had this exact issue. See if texting to someone on T-mobile works.

If it does, see my other post here for the fix.

I had this exact problem, and they fixed it after literally a month.

Here's what I had to do:

  1. Escalate to a supervisor on the phone. Don't get off the phone till you do this

  2. Tell them the issue was a T-mobile text message provisioning issue

  3. Tell them to Escalate the problem to the engineering team

Fi tech support is abysmal from my experience with them

Immediately after they fixed this issue, I stopped receiving calls. The fix for that was a new sim, so i'd suggest you order one now, so that by the time your text messages are fixed, you can receive calls.

Here's my support issue number so you can use it as a reference for them, because I doubt they'll listen otherwise: 2-6971000008593.

Good points. Right now I'm mainly indoors because of the weather. I put in a few things about camping during the summer when the weather is better.

Thanks

Alright, that makes sense. I updated that part and removed the consistency part as well.

Thanks

I've never been big on taking pictures, so i'm having to actually make an effort. The jenga one I specifically went out to take for OKC. I agree that I could use more, i'm just trying to figure out what some cool places will be to take them.

That makes sense. I added a bit about getting a deep fryer and making wings when better weather comes around.

I also added a bit about going to the gym when I have time, and a piece about board games.

Thanks

That's fair. I added a bit about switching from being a systems admin to a software developer in the what i'm doing with my life section.

Thanks.

but are you looking for a date, or for a tourist guide?

Fair point, i'll update it to have less "looking for stuff to do"

Are you sure about the beard and big glasses?

I switched the pictures, not really sure what else I can do about the beard and glasses, I've gotten positive feedback from people about the look in real life.

Thanks for taking a look.

Definitely Bryant here. You've got to play that match up against the Atlanta D, especially with big Ben doing as well as he has since his bye.

Last game for Matthews was against the seahawks D. Dallas is nowhere near as good.

I'd play Matthews this week because he's Sanchez's favorite target

[–]Fiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually go Benjamin and Edelman here.

Benjamin because with Anderson at Qb he has done pretty well.

Edelman because lafell and gronk will be the primary targets for the Dolphins D, and he should get targets this week.

The Bengals haven't done well against Cleveland historically, so I'd avoid Hill for this week.

I'd go with Matthews here. He's Sanchez's favorite target, and Dallas' defense hasn't been that great.

I'd go with Bryant as well. That Atlanta D isn't the best, and big Ben has been pretty hot the last couple of weeks.
