BottleKnight posted:Who's your favorite? I'd love to hear some of your baseball opinions, merk! Buster Posey is my favorite. He plays the hardest position on the field and makes every pitcher throwing to him better. He also routinely kills it with the bat. I should probably disclose that I'm a lifelong Giants fan.

CCKeane posted:Assuming you are counting Bonds as being in a different generation. If the 1986 Barry Bonds went into baseball today (without any steroids available), I think he'd be the best baseball player of our generation after a couple years. Although his stat line is really impressive, steroids ruined him. HOT TAKE: Wade Boggs is the best baseball player of the last generation. edit: Wade Boggs consistently hit over .300 but never won the MVP title because he didn't

JakeP posted:But to call Mike Trout best of our generation is a stretch. ARods early career was comparable to Mike Trout and had great longevity. Mike Trout would have to have a very consistent career to be better than him. Sure you can say steroids, but thats a cop out, the pitcers were roided up too Yeah, you're right. If Trout stays healthy, I think he does it though.

EccoRaven posted:bernie is charismatic and all but he's just too old, I'm voting for hillary. aside from age their positions are nearly identical, and she's also more electable. I think she'll be a good president. Clinton is also old. If she is elected, I think she would be the third or fourth oldest president at time of inauguration (Harrison, Reagan, ?). Of course, that stat is misleading because it doesn't take into account the greater life expectancy today than ever before nor that women have a greater life expectancy than men. edit: Joe Biden is one year younger than Bernie Sanders, and no one seems to care about Joe's age. The issue with Sanders (which was also the issue with McCain eight years ago) is that he looks fifteen years older than anyone else in the field.

Magnus Gallant posted:If I'm thinking of the right guy he's racist You are thinking of 1960/70s Ron Paul. Rand Paul has made some eyebrow-raising comments, but I'm not really sure he's racist. His comments surrounding the Michael Brown shooting and his position on the war on drugs could be interpreted as racist... but also could be interpreted as very not racist. I'm not really sure what's up with him.

I think role madness games are usually less fun than non-role madness games. xopods had some Gnomish patent office games that were kind of role madness-like and were a lot of fun. The bottom line is that it's really tough to make a role madness game that is fun for the players because of balance issues and/or lack of agency. My rule of thumb (and I don't mod very often) is that I try to put myself in the players' shoes with every role that I create. If I'm ever thinking 'haha, this will be so fun to watch," then I am doing it wrong. The question is whether this will be fun to play. Of course, I've modded like ten total games, three of which were abysmal setup failures. I've played a lot, so my opinion is bias that way.

Unless TNL wants to run a Civil War game, I feel like starting a new mafia universe based on the events that led up to the Civil War. All history prior to the first game's commencement would be intact, but the universe would change based on in-game activity and final results. The first game would start on November 21, 1855 in the Kansas Territory - [The American Dream] 1855's Bleeding Kansas - The Wakarusa War!
