Regardless it has been very quiet.

I'm sure someone can start an SS counter thread or Critical Hit sucks thread to generate some noise lol.

Splendid idea!

Let's elaborate - how about this one:

The "MMP should make black SS counters (only) canon and add precision dice to modules while mandating chess clock use to speed up play, all the while the IFT be dropped and the IIFT (without CTC) being defined as standard - and for good measure they should "proudly produce" in China to make amends for the horrific shipment costs from the US to Europe which they are responsible for" thead...

LOL! The SS suck no matter what color they are, they got what they deserved at the end of the war.

CH sucks period, too bad it came to what it did, it had a nice start but then...

I'll never need a chess clock, I am a fairly fast player but some of my opponents who were as slow as you can go needed one.

You could add a discussion of "custom-made, padded dice towers vs. barbarian drinking glasses".
Oh, did my bias show?

 

[Paul John]

Come on!!! What kind of sick #@$% doesn't love the gentle tinkle of dice in drinking glasses???

They joined the Foreign Legion, the Bundeswher, and emigrated to South America.

True story (or as we used to say in the Navy "a no-shitter"): About 15 years ago I was playing a local Atlanta friend at his house. He chewed snuff...so he had a spit cup in addition to his identical dice cup. In the heat of battle he grabbed the wrong cup. Let's just say I'm glad we were using his dice...
This is generally not an issue when using dice towers, although I'm sure that humans being humans, someone will prove me wrong. Lol.

 

[Paul John]

True story. I was watching 2 friends play and in a crux TH roll one of them threw the dice into the cup and while they were bouncing around he picked up the cup and moved in across the table (nervous tic kind of thing). It came up 1,1 and the
recipient loudly insisted that, "You can't move the cup!", like that somehow invalidated the roll (didn't fly).
I am still waiting for someone pick up their dice tower in the same way.
I regularly move the cup, but so far no complaints.

Always love a no shitter as opposed to scuttlebutt.

When I was (much) younger, we used to play a lot of backgammon. We used cups for the dice, and game play was often done while drinking adult beverages. Every now and then, someone would drop their dice in their drink, or roll their drink instead of the dice. The odds of that happening increased as the evening wore on.

And always appreciate those who know the difference.

Kind of sounds like drinking games in college.

I love my custom made, Steve Pleva dice tower, had it for around 20 years now and still going strong.

It is padded so I can play at night without noise that would wake up Donna.

Far superior for me, to each his own but as far as locals are concerned, everyone has a dice tower, no one
uses glasses in our extended ASL Group. Several used to use glasses but switched over time.

 

[zcrater]

Several used to use glasses but switched over time.

I too have a Pleva tower and looked down on glass rollers, but I finally lost patience with dice jumping out of the tower box and switched to glass. Now my dice never spill onto the table. Same data, but I drew different conclusions from my Yankee colleagues :- ).

That is very interesting. I wonder how many others have made the switch. We used the cheap Chute Five dice towers. I am sure the occasional dice did go AWOL but don't remember it being a problem.
