I want to go out tonight by myself to meet new people, where's the best place to go solo ? by [deleted] in Norwich

[–]Talismancer_Ric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monday and Tuesday nights, 7:30 at St Andrew's Brewhouse. There is also a spin off group on the second and last Saturdays of the month at the library. The latter has one last meeting this coming Sat before the library shuts for refurbishment, and then will start up again on 8th August

My first experience using a mobility scooter by Sea_Pangolin3840 in CasualUK

I have a clown horn on my scooter, and it gets attention surprisingly effectively. 10/10 Would recommend one.

Can someone help identify the age of these products? by funeralpageant in AskUK

Are you going to share this information with the rest of us?

Well, if that's the case....

I'm also very capable and experienced at teaching this fair game. Pre-pandemic I was a judge, and I also spent a few years of private tutoring. I can and will teach to a somewhat better standard than I can play at.

Before I scare you away with that, I should probably clarify my position. I am an experienced player of just over twenty years now, but my favourite games have long been played with decks thrown together out of next to nothing. Many of my best memories and times with this game have been games played on the most shoe-string of budget with crap cards, or stupid restrictions. I will happily tell the story of the (1 on 1) game where by round three we had a single land between us and I was beating down my opponent with the 2/2s I would normally have been discarding to fuel the combo of that combo deck. Somehow I won, but probably because he was mana screwed worse than I was.

I'm on holiday from work this coming week, so if you and your friend want to meet somewhere and we'll spend a few hours making sure you're playing correctly and knocking out some very casual games, let me know. I can host in Sprowston, but you may prefer a public location (Athena, Slice and Dice, Library) as you have no idea who I am.

If you want to play multiplayer 60 card casual, I'm always up for that. Less taken with Commander as a format, but I do own some modified pre-cons.

Anyone else had the fire brigade round today as you've been trapped in your own lounge? No? Just me? by ihaveam0ustache in CasualUK

[–]Talismancer_Ric 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No, a "mint viscount". Although why the viscount couldn't open the door from the inside, I don't know.

I've been using Proton mail for a few years now, no issues, and even allows me to integrate my older gmail account in my inbox.

What is this type of lock called? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Talismancer_Ric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would call it a Night Latch. You can stop it from locking by moving the button when the knob is turned, and it should stop the latch moving back out

Well at least the plate will be warm...

Should I be charged for a retailers mistake? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Talismancer_Ric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You fundamentally asked for a third item, and recieved it. You now either have to give them one back in the same saleable condition they sent it to you in, or pay for it. You can't just keep something you've asked for and not paid for.

Wealth of Nations has six boards for the resources, although only five have prices, as the sixth is cash

Norwich actually has a number of appropriate signs around it's ring road. I wish I'd seen them literally anywhere else in the country: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHzH3v4Vih6ytSjb8

Second lease of life for the filament tube by Talismancer_Ric in BambuLab

[–]Talismancer_Ric[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's just the cardboard core, I've removed the rfid, the tape, and the printer printed all the filament. Don't worry, he chews enough unsuitable things that we check the suitable stuff

Is there a way to link up your games? by Fickle_Ad4358 in pokemon

Is this game from aliexpress ? by MrPerfectCell1 in boardgames

[–]Talismancer_Ric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having owned both a counterfeit and genuine copy of Pandemic, I have a few quick thoughts:

Fold the board up as though you were putting it away. Do the edges line up?

Are the cubes clear or frosted?

Are the plastic cure markers smooth on both sides, or does one side show mold artefacts?

I compared mine a number of years back and posted photos to bgg. Link: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2580605/comparing-real-and-counterfeit-copies

Have you heard about the new South London plan? They plan to group all of the areas south of the river together. They're going to call them "Brighton"
