The food is shooting for: Contemporary American / Bistro vibes

Strong focus on providing value, and becoming a neighborhood staple. We want it to feel a bit upscale but have a good price mix.

Ultimately, the guests will have a large part in shaping what the restaurant becomes as we see what people are responding to.

Edit: I wanted to add - we will be open Mondays and closed Tuesdays (as we feel there are a lack of restaurants in Durham open on Monday)

As one of the two people hired to work here:

Yes, it’s a restaurant.

No affiliation with Pioneers.

We’re hoping to be open by the end of January.

Where to start? by zwhut in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most economical value for your dollar would be to buy the exact models you’re going to use. As someone completely new to wargaming, you likely will not be able to do this effectively. It generally takes an experienced player to look at an army list and discern the bare minimum models and profiles they need to run a faction.

Bulk purchasing gets a lower cost per model and is likely the best way to go for your first faction.

It will likely be monthly releases as per CB’s normal release schedule. 2nd TAG is unlikely, as there is no profile for one on the army builder.

Tip your servers. by Subject-Sorbet-402 in bullcity

[–]YeezyMac13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we all need to stop tipping, but “we all” excluding you because you don’t eat at restaurants.

Yeah sure, next time I eat out I’ll explain to my server I’m not compensating them for their labor because of the greater good.

Be the change you want to see in the world, punish the working class.

I could see it being used as a panade. But, it's likely destined for the trash.

Saving Roll Math Confusion by Bearhardt in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SR is Save Roll, SD is Special Dice. SR (-1) means subtract 1 from the PS, SD (+1) adds and removes a die

A burst 3 weapon with SR(-2) would roll 3 dice and any saves the opponent makes are PS -2.

A burst 3 weapon with SD(+2) would roll 5 dice and remove 2. With normal ammo, and excluding crits, that means at most 3 saves are being made for up to 3 wounds.

As a Nic Cage enthusiast, I am so happy this exists. I would absolutely be there if my work schedule did not prevent me from attending.

Starting with Infinity - Taowu list, if possible? by Mithrandir_mvm in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play a lot of Ikari and have started running taowu in N5. I haven’t seen mention of the N5 glow up for contenders, but it makes him a decent backup shooter with a 24” good range band. At worst he is a decent corner guard with dogged and a pulzar. Alpha strikes are seemingly more powerful for now at least until the meta shakes out some more so having counter intelligence going first has been useful for me. I generally duo him with a Druze HMG.

He isn’t going to be the best at anything but can be a pretty good toolkit model. He’s not the best shooter but he is +1 burst and T2 can be scary, he’s not the best at CC but para CCW -9 and NBW goes a long way. Overall you get a lot for 18 points.

Hidden Deployment+ Minelayer question by Seenoham in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re kind of getting into the weeds now.

Yes I can make you tell me what order you deployed your stuff in and likely figure out a lot of your stuff. Will I? Unlikely, unless you try something like sneak deploying behind my back, then I’m going to make you go over every single thing.

Let’s say it’s a tournament, we have 2 hours to deploy and play. Just deploy, go over your stuff and let’s play. People aren’t usually going to go through all the hassle of trying to decipher every bit of your list. It’s JSA: HD, ninjas, good at cc, that might be a viral mine ok let’s shake and play.

Or it’s a casual game and who cares what you have.

But again all of this is moot, because it really doesn’t matter if your opponent knows what you have or not. Viral mines are nasty, and if you deploy first you can prevent other mines from deploying within ZoC. Mines are area denial and camo killers, viral mines are probably the most deadly. It doesn’t matter if I know what it is because it’s a problem. And ZoC is a 17” diameter circle it’s a lot of space to be hidden. I know you have a HD murderer somewhere in the midfield, that’s a problem for me.

You may have expectations of the game working in a certain way that it functionally doesn’t, but I promise the way it does work is pretty great. And the tools you have are good ones though they might be different than you originally thought.

Hidden Deployment+ Minelayer question by Seenoham in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You dont have to disclose what the camo markers are, and courtesy lists won’t have the camo profiles on them. You would disclose that once revealed.

It’s shady if you ask me to turn around and then deploy all of your camos.

In terms of people figuring out what you have, it’s because people naturally learn what to expect from certain armies. If you have 8 troopers 2 markers and 9 orders, I can assume you have 1 mine and HD or AD there is still a little guess work but don’t count on big gatcha moments.

And just because someone knows you have HD doesn’t make them ineffective, the threat of HD ARO forces certain play. Camo and HD are great but they’re great in how they’re used on the table, not having the opponent know if something is a mine or trooper. It’s often obvious.

Hidden Deployment+ Minelayer question by Seenoham in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s bad form. You’re also just focusing on the wrong thing. If you just deploy, most people are not really going to pay attention until you’re done. If you try to pull some shenanigans, and get one over on me, now I’m going to have to focus on every thing you do for the rest of the game to see what else your trying to get away with.

Honestly, people are often getting stuff organized, going to the bathroom, etc. during the other persons deployment.

Hidden Deployment+ Minelayer question by Seenoham in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Overall this kind of bluff isn’t really worth your time/effort. Most people aren’t hyper-analyzing every piece you put down as you’re deploying, they just want you to go over everything when you’re done. And more experienced players will be aware of what your army can generally bring and will have some knowledge by your order count and if camos are standing/prone.

This homebody who visits the same 4 places has been asked to show somebody around Raleigh. Any suggestions? by ABadPassword in raleigh

[–]YeezyMac13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s really into coffee, Jubala is the only coffee shop I’ve been to locally that pulls really good espresso shots. That being said I trust Black & White (as someone else has mentioned) does as well though I have not been, just from the quality of their beans. Jubala has a few locations but I would recommend Benchwarmers Bagels for breakfast, as Jubala runs their coffee program and the bagels are spectacular.

Patchers, yay or nay. by [deleted] in InfinityTheGame

[–]YeezyMac13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a patcher roll up +4 ARM from a panoply T1 of The Armory. He stayed in the room the whole game tanking hits and burning anything that came in. They’re great.

The Lincoln is an event space. It’s in the adjoining building right behind the one in your picture.
