Hard to concentrate on the play by forum games….

Hi! I’m not too sure where this post goes, so @Panther feel free to move it.

What’s the longest game ever played on this forum? As in, the longest gap between the first turn played in a game and the last turn played? Games that achieved this number due to huge gaps in between turns count. Thank you!

@Gargantua:

Yes!

I might be willing to buy some then.

@MrMalachiCrunch:

I wasn’t going to comment but positive feedback should not be withheld.  The choices were pretty amusing especially the one about the original Nova version, I wish I still had mine.  Had the question been “ever” and not “last 5 years” I would have been honoured to check that one.  I guess I really am getting old!  Say that to me at the gym after an hour sonny!   :wink:

True, I could have checked off a few more myself if the question was ‘ever,’  but I was more curious as to what games are still being played, and from the looks of it, most of them are, even the ones that are more than a decade old.

What about, the “Axis of Allies”?

DJensen will try to fix this ASAP. Please contact him to see what progress is being made.

He will find a way to lift the threshold for all our special members.

The signatures are one way that spammers use to produce porno and other stupid harmful links. We cant have that on these forums ever again.

Their is some threshold for posting links. Not sure what that is, but you should be able to do that. I have seen them from other members.

I recalled the Word Wars Documentary about the Scrabble tournament circuit.

It was heavily loaded up w production editing to make it viewable to the non-Scrabble audience.  Our supercomputers are not yet powerful enough to do that type of Live/instant replay editing as seen on so many sports broadcasts.

Even when all that editing becomes possible, I would be curious which advertisers would back an A&A tournament broadcast.

Maybe a few from the the golf channel.

Depending on where you live you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a comic book shop or card shop or dedicated game shop that would have a copy of something on the shelf. There isn’t really a national game store franchise. It is mostly just some guy with a store or maybe a regional concern with four or five shops.

My local shop usually gets one copy for anyone who’s a regular who asks and one for the shelf when a new version comes out. Typically though he doesn’t replace that till Christmas shopping season but will order one for you with a small deposit. The markup on these games isn’t very high so you probably aren’t going to go to one shop and find a copy of everything.

Toys R’ Us probably has copies of ‘42 and maybe a decent chance of Guadalcanal or a less decent chance of BOTB. I’d think it pretty slim to find a copy of Pacific or Europe at Toy R’ Us given the price point.

Try your yellow pages under hobby, or games, or comics. Also you might try something like www.comicshoplocator.com and give your closest shop a call. You might also try something like this Days of Wonder Store Locator. Someplace that sells games like that is likely to have a copy or two of Axis and Allies.

Something like this might help.

South Africa or someplace else?

Yes, Bloemfontein to be exact.
