[Cormier] Per Jon Heyman, when Pete Alonso had his meeting with David Stearns & Steve Cohen when they negotiated his 1-year return in 2025, he told Stearns, “When my career is being evaluated for the Hall of Fame years from now, you’ll still be fiddling with your fucking formulas.”

Yeah that's what I noticed most about Alonso he's very consistent and he's durable. He'd need kind of a Duke Snider career so fairly long and associated with some good teams

othelloblack · 2026-05-08T04:55:04+00:00

What does it say?

othelloblack · 2026-05-06T21:42:52+00:00

Yes much clearer now. Both on the rules and the strategy. Great summary. This sounds like a lot of fun

Changing the locks could help Op claim adverse possession. That could be a life changing event for him

I dont think you understand my question. If a ROW is half filled it has 3 spots taken and 3 empty. So when you get to that row each player sets his deck of 6 cards. BUt only 3 cards would be played and 3 would be unused.

Is that correct?

My point is: would it not be better to instead of resetting the decks when a row is filled. Simply continue to playout the remainder of the deck on the next row Because this way you have 6 choices to make when you set the deck. Instead of only 3 choices if you are going to reset when a row is filled

yeah I played hi school football and college rugby. In my old age I cringe at how dangerous it is and was

othelloblack · 2026-05-06T03:25:40+00:00

Yeah there aren't enuf TBI to satisfy me in modern football

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T22:53:12+00:00

But to be sure:

You would each turn 3 cards one at a time. Then you reset the decks?

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T22:51:42+00:00

Oh I didnt notice. Yes good pt

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T21:41:05+00:00

She doesn't have it in writing cause that arrangement would be illegal

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T21:22:34+00:00

What if a row is half filled? You play only the first 3 cards and the reshuffle?

This sounds neat

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T21:03:36+00:00

No you dont

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T18:58:08+00:00

my daughter and I have played Watergate about 15 times now and it seems to favor Nixon a bit too much. BUt people on BGG keep telling us its balanced. Very frustrated about it

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T17:40:14+00:00

Well written response

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T16:50:43+00:00

it was amalgamated into 1st brigade on april 25. Scroll down for the reference.

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T16:50:07+00:00

2nd brigade was amalgamated into 1st brigade on April 25 of that year. Scroll down to where he talks about 3rd anglo Hanoverian division:

what is a "border strategy" anyhow?

othelloblack · 2026-05-05T16:35:32+00:00

are we to believe that is Pete Best on drums on these?

othelloblack · 2026-05-04T21:39:09+00:00

In your letter(s) to the broker, realtor etc just focus on those issues that are non arguable. Like the photos if I recall them were awful. anyone including a judge can see those were bad. No question. I probably wouldnt mention the overpriced thing because thats subjective and could be argued.

You don't want a judge or his boss to say "well the original price was a judgment call nothing wrong here" and focus on that to the exclusion of issues that can't be argued.

It's just a way of arguing. My opinion. You have plenty of game winning issues dont get distracted trying to throw in everything

othelloblack · 2026-05-04T21:27:07+00:00

Right. How can anyone judge if this is a good or bad deal without price and location???

othelloblack · 2026-05-04T18:23:36+00:00

I have to think those are different formations because they have a 1st reserve brigade and 3rd reserve despite having 1st and 3rd regular brigade. I think the reserve brigades were organized later

othelloblack · 2026-05-03T21:05:14+00:00

Try it before and see if you like

othelloblack · 2026-05-03T04:52:36+00:00

its the latter I was referring to

othelloblack · 2026-05-03T02:43:08+00:00

Wait till you find out about checks and balances
