Title: What game are you currently playing?
Post by: Alice7 on September 12, 2024, 07:15:25 PM
My favs are The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pokemon go, Relax Gaming slot Ancient Tumble and The Aviator slot, that's because I follow DiceGirl Egle, she helps a lot with slot games, I also like to play chess a lot lately, it's not that popular but I like it a lot. I would like to read recommendations, have a nice day! :grin:

AGEOD's old "To End All Wars" believe it or not.  Also some "Combat Mission" and
WDS "France '14"  I guess I'm in a sort of WWI frenzy at the moment.
And welcome to the forum :)

Never mind.  I thought this was the Friday list.  The original post looks like it came from a bot to me.

It did. That's why it's banned.

Oh no don't say that I messaged her asking for a number, she told me she needed $500.00 or her phone would be turned off so I sent her the money and once she gets the bill paid she is going to call me.   :uglystupid2:

There is a very active and successful thread over at Civfanatics entitled "What are you playing now?".  I thought that this could be successful too here.

I'm playing both Space Empires IV and Hex of Steel atm.

Is it one of those threads with 900,000 posts that is 10yrs old? I find those threads become like discord chat, a mess of lost posts that most people don't have time to read or trawl though. I prefer new fresh threads that show from the very first post the active people who like to share with the community. No management needed. No jumping to the end of the thread. But that's just me.

I totally understand your point of view.  I'm sort of a hybrid of what you like and what they do over there with 10 year old threads that go on and on.  Meaning I can enjoy both formats, it's all good.  One way is fresh and short while the other way is a massive catalog of an ongoing chat.

Unbelievable.  No wonder seniors get scammed.  We believe everybody.
And I fell for it.  Good grief.  So what was the tipoff?

It pretended to have a vagina.

That would do it for me. I mean even if it's pretending, better not pass it up. Just in case.  :privatedancer:

As soon as I saw "Alice's" post, I knew it was some kind of scam, but I haven't figured what the point of it was.  What's their end game....?

There was a second post with links to casino type games. I deleted it. I kept this one because it's actually not a bad thread idea.

A common theme is to post a bunch of on-topic stuff without spam and then later change the signature to include spam. That way it magically appears under all past posts all at once.

It was the slots promotion that made me instantly suss, including promoting someone with "strategy" for pulling a lever or pushing a button. (I suppose there could be betting unit strategies. I don't play slots, I prefer games I have to actually think about: blackjack, craps, maybe roulette, pai gow, let it ride, etc. But I don't go to casinos often, haven't done so in maybe 10 yeas.)

What surprised me was the lack of links, but that's explained now.  :pirate:

Anyway, I'm playing a number of mp games like AoW:Planetfall (about to lose an mp campaign there, but started a new 4p campaign on a "conquered" map against a more powerful NPC); Andean Abyss and Time of Crisis (on Rally the Troops); Liberty or Death, and Fire in the Lake (on Vassal); and on single player I've been chewing along my first Darkness Falls mod-campaign for 7 Days to Die. Though really the Friday thread works for this topic just as well.

 "The Charismatic Voice" channel did a nice analysis of this song.
