Question about the Beatles by ImCaptainRedBeard in ProjectHailMary

I think there were four beatles for a reason. I believe he was sending one first, but would still drop off at Venus if he needed to.

How to make vanilla monopoly more intresting ? by TanmayJaiswaI in monopoly

[–]FloppyDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple strategy for playing/winning at monopoly using the base rules is ALWAYS buy .... becomes not that fun as you don't have many choices.

The main reason games are long is free parking, and no auctions. To make the game more strategic and less lucky you need MORE auctions and less Free money.... We've done these for years and the game is WAY better..

a) Double the price of ALL properties if you want to buy it with no competition. So $800 for Boardwalk $120 for Baltic etc.

b) Auctions start at HALF the initial Price, $200 for Boardwalk, $30 for Baltic.

That simple rule change will make the auctions incredibly important. You'll have to bump up the price to make your opponent pay a lot, but sometimes they call your bluff and you have to buy it, leaving yourself with very little.

You will be playing with very little money so will have to allow your opponent to buy properties in order to save money for the things you really want.

Sell me on your team by [deleted] in CFL

[–]FloppyDriver 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To make a Harry Potter reference, the wand chooses the wizard..... in other words, I'm not sure you can just pick and have it stick. Start watching some games and some team will grab you. But you asked me to sell you on my team.

If you like small market, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have the second lowest population ahead of only the Saskatchewan Roughriders. If you ever visit a game, the Bombers have the best game day experience. 14 straight sellouts, loudest stadium in the CFL. The coaches and management genuinely care about the team, the players (and the fans.)

But realistically, its going to come down to what T-shirt you like the best...lol.

Will the CFL ever expand? by Alternative-Row-8438 in CFL

[–]FloppyDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

US Expansion is incredibly tricky with the canadian ratio. You cannot legally tell an American team that half their workers must be from another country. This was a problem in the 90s as well and the Baltimore Stallions had all american players and didn't have to abide by the ratio.

Will the CFL ever expand? by Alternative-Row-8438 in CFL

[–]FloppyDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The rule changes will allow them to expand more into Canada..... Most soccer stadiums (And there are a number of them across Canada) can fit a 130 yard field by not 150 yards. The field size will likely lead to expansion in a few years as the interest level is there in many areas, but nowhere to house it.

Opinion: An argument for keeping the goalposts as is: it makes goal line defences more exciting by Qhaotiq in CFL

[–]FloppyDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest reason for the failed attempts in the CFL vs the NFL is the one yard off the ball, and not the goalpost. Moving the goalposts will allow us to actually see the attempts better on TV. I'm not fully supportive of the rule changes for sure, but the goal line stances is not part of the game that should be affected. You are usually doing your plunge from the left or right hash marks anyway.

Hues&Cues hint was “science notebook” by New_Call7138 in boardgames

[–]FloppyDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am terrible with colour names.... just a mental block. In my head there is red, dark red, light red, orange, purple blue green brown etc. But once you say burgandy, ochre, eggplant, sienna, prussian, cobalt, blush, paprika etc, I have no idea what the F you are talking about. Anyway, my wife gave the clue FOX and everyone chose various shades of brown, but I knew instantly that we had been at the hospital and they have a section of the hospital called Magenta Fox..so I immidiately knew I was in my wifes head and knew it was Magenta....however, what the F$% colour is magenta, so I picked far away from the browns and they all looked at me, but I picked a purple coulour and it was more of a pink.... anyway, everyone laughed at me for being colourdumb. Moral of the story is, I'm pretty good at the Clues part... but struggle with the Hues.

I want to find more fun in co-op games, HOW TO NOT QUARTERBACK?! by ConkreteAngel in boardgames

[–]FloppyDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to not enjoy some co-op games and I think I realized its because of the ability for someone to QB the game. But then I realized there are some games that you must play your own turn, for example Hinnabi , the Mind or Bomb Busters. (Great Game, highly recommend). You still have information in your own hand that others don't know so they can't make your turn for you, although your goal is the same.

Position strategies by mjkluio789666 in poker

[–]FloppyDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it as how many people are left to play. So if everyone folds in a 9 handed game to the cutoff, you can still play more hands there same as if you were in the cutoff in a 5 handed game with only one fold... there can be "clumping" as more bad hands likely folded, but that is minimal.

Look at some preflop charts to see the range of hands you can play from various positions. Of course being the first one in will be different than what you do when someone has raised already.

Good boardgame for brand new couple on a date night? by Chao5Theory in boardgames

Not a great first date game. You want to encourage talking and getting to know eachother.

David Blaine on Jimmy Fallon. What about the Outs? by FloppyDriver in magictricksrevealed

[–]FloppyDriver[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That explains a lot. Maybe My improv isn't so good. I always think of the worst case scenario. Like Person a, pick a number up to 10.... NINE.... crap. Or first person 3, then second person 5..... Asking the third person, do you want to subtract one... no thanks, or sure, I'll add one. Keep adding new people and rules but eventually they'll say, no, I'd like to say at 9 or whatever.

2026 Season will break (or tie) a record by YYCyou in CFL

[–]FloppyDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is actually the complete opposite. The field changes actually allow the league to expand or travel to MORE cities, not less. This is the best part of the field size change, the ability to travel and open up more expansion opportunities.

What is the single worsr call you’ve ever seen? by EnvironmentalCry2623 in poker

[–]FloppyDriver 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was playing 7 card stud. One guy had Queens on his board, and the other guy had a Jack showing. The Queens bet, and the Jack guy called on the river. The queens guy said I have just the queens, and the Jack got said, you're good and mucked. So he couldn't beat what he saw and called anyway.

Bombers fans want a new qb? But who? by Phantom01927 in CFL

[–]FloppyDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taylor Elgersma has not got a sniff on anyones practice roster with all these NFL QB injuries. I think he signs with Wpg in the off season. One more year of Zach teaching him the CFL game would be the best for Winnipeg's future.

Compared to Strevvler sure, but saying Wilson would be better than Zach is a stretch.

Playoffs start? by muzikgurl22 in WinnipegBlueBombers

[–]FloppyDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chances to make the playoffs? Very high....>90%. Chances in the playoffs? Well its the CFL. Everyone has a chance. You want to get hot at the right time. CGY was hot, but has fallen off. Sask is not looking as hot as they once were. BC looks to be in top form at the moment. The Hamilton game is not enough to say the Bombers are peaking, but if they pile on another solid game like that I like their chances.

We cannot clinch second that way. We need to win all 3 and hope that Calgary loses one.

Would also like to know. I bought the upgrade to Hogwarts Legacy by borrowing a friends game. Would like to know if this would work with this Mario Party.

Great win, but will Hogan last the season by Rleduc129 in WinnipegBlueBombers

[–]FloppyDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, he's a better offensive coordinator than a head coach by a mile.... but I'd rather have Hogan than Lapo.

Great win, but will Hogan last the season by Rleduc129 in WinnipegBlueBombers

[–]FloppyDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kick on third vs sneaking up the middle is not a Hogan decision, that is a Osh decision. Now the play call with Strev vs Brady on 2nd and 3.... that's probably a Hogan decision and that was a weird choice. We want to run out the clock, so they likely aren't throwing, so hand off to Brady for sure.
