*MYSTERIOUS A&A.ORG DISAPPEARANCE* - WHEATBEER

I’m happy to hear Mr. Bear is all well!!!

Those old thread contain some epic discussions.

@CWO:

It would be an intriguing intellectual exercise to devise a set of house rules for a strip version of A&A…but regretably it would also be kind of pointless because, alas, most A&A players are guys.

I feel like a house rules version of “strip A&A” would be about as useful as my drinking game version of A&A. I lasted about 3 rounds before the game got called, mainly because I crawled under the table, refused to come back out, and promptly fell asleep. Mind you the rule was one shot for each territory you lost and a double if you lost your capitol, and it was me and one other person playing.Needless to say the fall of France really messed me up.

Either way, bad idea, or “bad” idea, i’ll let you figure out which it is  :-P

@Imperious:

Cheating is stupid. Victory with it always has an asterisk next to it.

It’s just a freaking game and if you have to cheat, you have major psychological problems and should address them rather than play games IMO.

Just like all the steroid use!

Looks like a great site. Will have to give it a look.

The discussions for that version are under “Axis and Allies”, and covers both the ORIGINAL version, 2nd Edition (that you have) and 3rd Edition (with rule modifications from the 1998 Hasbro CD)

@Yanny:

The earth is warming up, I think theres pretty good evidence of that. Underground temperatures have risen a few degrees, polar ice caps are melting, all small signs. The cause is also probably a combination of greenhouse gases, the shifting equilibrium of the earth, and other small things. However it is a dangerous trend and we need to take steps to prevent it. Should it be our top priority, no.

The evidence is not as good as many people think. In the 1970s the trend was that temperatures were falling. It all depends on where you start counting from. An experiment with double the amount of carbon dioxide proved that plants with the increased carbon dioxide levels grew to double their normal size and could produce double the amount of oxygen, therefore sustaining a larger population. Even the satellite proof fails to take clouds into account, which lower he temperature a great deal.

No fair, I was hoping for an interesting story! maybe more like…
