One can argue that 50 is greater than 100? Good times.

If it's just about quantity, why is it even a vote?

Damon Albarn gets my vote.

USA! USA! USA! Suck it Canada, it's our game now!

maybe Panther meant Idioteque?

yes.

That's better.

Except for the Michael Myers scene, which brought the movie's pace to a screeching halt.

So, I think it's fair to say that if someone reads the description of Settlers, and is intrigued, then more likely than not they'll like the game? (assuming they have enough nerdy friends to play it with?) Because you WILL need nerdy friends to play it with.

That kind of shit would bother me too, but these kinds of things would make playing the games mentioned in this thread all but impossible. These games are for small groups (5 or less), so, either you have a dedicated group to play or you don't play. If someone wanted to leave early, that would end the game. And someone arriving late would either be out, or let in and the game restarted. Rules to these kinds of games can never be fully covered before playing - you can give someone the objective to the game, and then give them their options when it's their turn. There's always questions and

So were the Canadians not confident enough in Home Advantage that they had to alter the rules and keep the rink NHL-sized, rather than Olympic-sized? Or are they just too cheap?

Could you do us a favor and keep your hyperbole in italics, and your facts in bold?

I'm pretty sure all my Zappa purchases, especially Weasels Ripped My Flesh, were based on album cover art alone.

I'm gunning for Switzerland.

I had a great couple of weeks in Spring: Two Wilco shows, back to back Then a trip to Vegas to see The Killers (shrooms helped) and then Sir Paul at the Lounge in the Hard Rock. Then back home to see Neko Case. I think I also saw David Byrne this year, but maybe that was last year... 3rd row seats to see No Doubt was fun. Saw Willie Nelson for the first time.

You're a problem solver. You must be exempt.

Fine.

It's definitely a limit, but I have no comment on it being fair or just. Say an employer has a manufacturing job for 2 people. He wants 100 units produced a day. To do that, the 2 employees must work the line for 12 hours a day, at $10/hr. Without the FSLA, he could do this by paying them each $120/day. With the FSLA, he has to pay them each $140/day (8 hours@$10 + 4 hours@$15). That's a 17% markup on his budget, which is a financial sanction to him, which is a limit on the work hours set by the government.

? I'm not sure what you're arguing with me about. I just was pointing out to jff that the government does indeed limit the amount of hours one may work, through financial sanctions. I never made any statement about the practice not being fair or just.

good help is hard to find. considerably.

It says that if you want someone in production to work more than 40 hours a week, you have to pay them time and a half. I'd consider that a limit, and a pretty hefty one at that. My company's unwritten policy is to not allow the non-exempt employees to work more than 40 hours.

That's awesome. I'm going to share with a co-worker who's a big Settlers slut.

I like the kraut games, but I don't have Settlers. I play Puerto Rico occasionally (and have been successful turning people on to that one), and have tried getting into Agricola, but it takes too damn long to set that game up properly, and it takes a good commitment from participants to learn how to play it. boardgamegeek.com is a good reference site.
