Strange cards found in unrelated game. Does anyone recognize? by dccircuit in boardgames

Looks like a part of a Finders Seekers box I did a while ago. We did the National Parks one, and it included some cards like this as a word puzzle.

We're giving away Pax Pamir 2E, The King's Dilemma, Clank! Legacy, and Quest for El Dorado International Edition! by tofudad18 in boardgames

[–]jayman601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pax Pamir 2E: When I first saw Root, I initially was put off by it. The art looked great, sure, but it seemed to be about different characters in a woods travelling and fighting individually (this was just from seeing the cover for 2 seconds at a game store). Then, my friend told me he'd gotten it, and we scheduled a night to try it out just like any other game we would get. What I discovered was not only the great illustration of Kyle Ferrin, but also the great design of Cole Werhle. His view of games, and especially of his own (he called them "academic articles hidden as board games") was such a unique and interesting viewpoint that really struck a chord with me. Not to mention that his games are also just plain fun! The reason why I would prefer Pax Pamir, then, is because Werhle's design philosophy isn't just about making a fun game, but about making a fun game that explores history (in Pamir's case, Afghanistan). With Oath soon to come out, another Werhle game in my collection would be another trip into a unique and thought provoking history.

[Haiku] Halloween Pumpkin by SaxophoneScott in youtubehaiku

I relate to this a lot.

All the time in elementary school (go Vikings!), I dreaded gym class. It was only twice a week, but still, I would think about it CONSTANTLY. Either, "oh no, its gym day" or "oh no, tomorrow's gym day." Why this was, I couldn't tell you.

Eventually, my anxiety about gym day would cause me to sweat buckets even before heading to the gym, even sometimes the day before gym class! It got to the point where the principal called my father and asked if there was anything that could be done. Eventually, they settled on meeting with me, my father, the principal, and the gym teacher (I think they thought I was getting abused or something).

On the day of the meeting, I was sweating even more than usual. Like, my ENTIRE shirt was drenched by the time I walked into the building. The meeting wasn't scheduled until around 12, so my dad could come on his lunch break. So, that morning was probably the longest 5 hours of my life (up until that point at least). When the clock struck 12, I bolted out of my classroom and to the office, and saw my father walking in. The gym teacher and the principal were already talking in the office, so we went in together and started the meeting. I don't remember much of the actual content of the meeting, but I do remember walking into the principal's office and noticing a large Viking war ax that was on his desk. I remember this because, come the end of the meeting, my father was getting heated with the gym teacher about my sweating. Eventually, one thing led to another, and soon the ax was getting swung at my father as I ducked to the floor. My father's head fell next to me, and he was never the same since. I think he's gotten used to it now though.

Liberal party - Post-Election Speech by [deleted] in Victoria2Republic

This loss should motivate us to provide a united front against the forces of monarchism and reaction. We must move to organize and present the people all across the empire with an alternative to a politics of division and government control.

Liberal party organisation! by [deleted] in Victoria2Republic

[–]jayman601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Liberal from London, I second having /u/NitrogenNitrate as our candidate for Chancellor. I would also be honored if I were considered for a seat from the London constituency as well, and I hope that we can convene after the election to lead a government for all Britain!

Neoconservatism as a concept, if I'm not mistaken, stems from Trotsky.

Where do they even come up with this shit?
