The mechs could look good with a flat spray and dark wash if you wanted to do in bulk too!

What's your best "customer isn't always right" story? by esbeee in AskReddit

[–]Ooer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh totally, I was more mildly baffled then annoyed, and I was tying to be helpful despite being thrown by some of the questions.

As others have said, it just felt like I had encountered an alien doing some field research on us.

What's your best "customer isn't always right" story? by esbeee in AskReddit

[–]Ooer 1273 points1274 points  (0 children)

An interaction that I remember from my experience at the cinema;

Customer: Can I have a large popcorn?

Me: Sure, would you like sweet or salted?

Customer: What's the difference?

Me (after a brief hesitation): One is flavoured with sugar, the other is salted.

Customer: Oh okay, well which one would I like?

Me (after a slightly longer hesitation): I don't know, you can sample both if you like?

Customer (after sampling): I don't like either of these, I don't think I like popcorn.

They then simply walked off

Yammocks are totally fine as long as they are used for their intended role.

/r/Ooer began life as a fully certified third level tech support operation. After a number of cutbacks and layoffs (and the hammock incident) we are now trying to spread the word of whatever seems to feel right at the time.

Just to note, you can't carry an unlimited amount of food (though you can ingrediants so that point is slightly void).

You also can't carry an unlimited amount of fairies as they will stop spawning once you have 5 or more in your inventory. There are tricks to get a max of 15 I believe so again, that's quite a lot.

I can still copy paste my subreddit stylesheet over, just click save and delete the wiki history somehow..

After careful consideration, we are happy to accept Yammocks as all Yams deserve a safe haven, away from pests and ground moisture.

Games where first-player advantage is mitigated? by Stray_Moonchild in boardgames

Viticulture also doesn't immediately end when someone hits the point threshold, instead it signals this will be the final year so everyone has a good chance to try and overtake the person who triggered the game end

Planning on getting Captain Sonar to the table with the full 8-players. Would love some advice by Mtard31 in boardgames

[–]Ooer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some random advice for running a good first game with 8 players.

  • As /u/raiden001 has stated, add the house rule that Captains must clearly state "Heading X" for every command. They must also wait for an OK from Engineer and First Mate before issuing another order.

  • Sit the players so the Captain is sat near or opposite the enemy Radio Operator. This will give the Radio Op a chance.

  • Double check all players are using the correct board and correct site of board. This seems obvious, but a little mistake like this will break the game and cause great frustration.

  • I would rate difficulty of each role in the following order (from most challenging to least challenging); Radio Op, Captain, Engineer, First Mate. Try to assign roles based on peoples comfort, and make sure the Radio Ops can hear the enemy Captain okay.

Commonly missed rules;

  • You can't cross over your own path (like snake).

  • You can't use a system if any of the corresponding symbols are currently broken by engineer

  • You must check that you can use a system before calling stop

Shout-out to Arcane Wonders by EnzoLorenzo in boardgames

I also had an issue with my game, the red bag was very different to the others and tore easily when used.

Messaged support and received a new bag and a different promo card too! (Royal deeds or something) I was very impressed with their support.

What is the worst thing someone did to your boardgame? by bigfatlittlefat in boardgames

[–]Ooer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spilled a glass of diet Pepsi all over Cash 'n' Guns (first time playing). It was of course an accident and they immediately offered to help clean them, and failing that buy me the game again.

Thankfully, because it was diet (no sugar) the cards were able to be saved and now you couldn't tell it ever happened.

I'm Ryan Laukat, creator of Above and Below, Near and Far, and Empires of the Void II; AMA by ryanlaukat in boardgames

[–]Ooer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't answer for Ryan, but our group have played an extra 2 rounds as a test before and everyone's engine seemed to go into turbo mode and it was essentially a race to build all the scoring buildings first.

It was actually a lot less fun, despite feeling more satisfied with the engine itself.

This could be potentially busted in Spark. "Spend 1 click, 5 credits (and whatever else it takes to break the ice to get in there) to derez Monte Carlo Grid so the corp can rez it again for 2 credits, forcing you to lose another credit whenever the corp wants".

What happens if it is unrezzed when accessed in the server?
