I did that last night. Somehow an entire bottle of Lirac just evaporated. The kitchen must have been very hot.Better to laugh about them and get more wine.????

That's peculiar, I have the same problem here!I did that last night. Somehow an entire bottle of Lirac just evaporated. The kitchen must have been very hot.
Same here, at least as far as setting up goes. I supply coffee and/or beer, as appropriate. I tend to think of game day as a social gathering. We could be watching a movie or a baseball game or whatever, we just happen to be playing ASL instead.The host usually supplies food and coffee. The host usually sets up the game as a way to save time.
I have a regular live VASL opponent and over a series of games my dice were so bad that he was starting to feel really bad for me. Then we were playing an Eastern front scenario and I had a hidden AT Gun. He rolled his whole Tank platoon adjacent to my gun. I rolled 4 straight kills keeping rof, even changing CA in woods. He has never felt sorry for me since. . It was glorious!Grumbling about dice is allowed if it is justified and lighthearted. A friend of mine earned the nickname "boxcars" because of his extremely bad luck during a game. Even I was feeling sorry for him. After yet another bad roll, he finally lost his patience and said "well, cheese aaaaand crackers!" to signal his disgust. When my opponent goes on a ROF tear against me, I've been known to say "crud," or "ouch."
Very polite.I avoid touching the other side's counters and ask first if I have to.
An opponent did that to me once, purely because he was temporarily lost in the moment. I admit that a couple of times I have had to restrain myself as I asked 'what's under that question mark?'....lifting the Concealment counters off a couple of my stacks and examining the counters underneath!
Use honey. I do that with whenever I eat peas. I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny but keeps 'em on my knife.I'll have to check on that. The family fork is being used by my sister this month. It's a bitch when I make rice for dinner.
The helpful advice one gets on this forum is truly incredible!?Use honey. I do that with whenever I eat peas. I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny but keeps 'em on my knife.
I'm serious. Why just in the last day we've learned not only the proper way to eat peas but the correct way to share limited cutlery among the family and how to impress your dinner guests with the approved placement of your monogrammed silverware. I'm feeling quite refined at the moment. If only we could come to a consensus about where the box of wine should be placed on the dinner table. ?The helpful advice one gets on this forum is truly incredible!?
Next to the box of Dunkin' Donuts, of course....a consensus about where the box of wine should be placed on the dinner table. ?
I'll have to talk this over with Captain Bacchus. His cousin, Colonel Cuervo, a true gentleman, just arrived. His insight concerning such matters is invaluable. This should be an interesting discussion. ????Next to the box of Dunkin' Donuts, of course.
You should curse the bottle - it just fails to hold the Lirac.Somehow an entire bottle of Lirac just evaporated.
You're absolutely right but I had to laugh like that at first.I don't know about the rest of you, but when an opponent takes a smoke break and comes back to the gaming table with atrocious ashtray breath, I feel justified in letting out that horrible beer and cabbage fueled fart I've been so politely holding in all game. Sort of counter-etiquette I guess.
When playing ASL, never decline a mint or a stick of gum. -- jimI don't know about the rest of you, but when an opponent takes a smoke break and comes back to the gaming table with atrocious ashtray breath, I feel justified in letting out that horrible beer and cabbage fueled fart I've been so politely holding in all game.

Or your host's offer of the use of the shower. ??When playing ASL, never decline a mint or a stick of gum. -- jim
