Recombination Day 1

[karohemd]

Was good. Met many of the usual suspects, went to open ceremony, listened to a panel on computers (failing or not) in SciFi, wandered around a bit and then spent the rest of the evening playing the War on Terror board game, which was a lot of fun, even if it lasted until well after 1am (the terrorists won). I actually would have won in my next turn if I hadn't been obliterated by a Civil War.

Filkers are strange people. That's a completely different level of geekiness... o_O

Off again in a bit to see if there's something interesting to sign up for in the afternoon (and in the morning, if possible), then maybe grab a few people to play a board or card game, then the Lost in Translation panel at 1 and then we'll see.

Filkers?

[skinny-cartman.livejournal.com]

People who sing Filk music - which is kinda folk music but with an SF/Fantasy slant kinda as it also goes off into other geekdom areas at times basically folks who play/sing music at SF cons etc.

War on Terror is a great game, I got it as a christmas present this year/last year (2006)
I'm hoping to be able to make it to the con for Sunday as I've kinda half arsedly double booked myself

It sounds like great fun. I've ordered a set, though as they say it'll on the site, it'll be a couple of weeks due to courier/supplier related issues. Cheers for the advocacy!

It's a bit like Settlers meets Risk with event cards, some of which can cause all kinds of chaos.
pengshui_master said that a five player game he played on Sunday was very different in style and that the victory conditions might need some tweaking.

Leisure Games have it in stock.

As an aspiring filker, I take that as a compliment! ;)

Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
