(Bunch of n00bs in here.)
Making a decision in accordance with the simple majority doesn't seem like the utilitarian solve, I think you would want to tolerate no more than one maybe two dissents. There's not a shortage of games for us to spectate.

Seeing all these names back on my screen makes me so happy!
Yeah, unfortunately I don't have that much time on my hands atm, but I'll try to check in every day.
It does feel a bit intimidating having so many people watch along after all these years, but if the rest of you don't mind, I guess I'll agree to publicly displaying the forthcoming clumsiness on my part.

One nice thing about being out for so long is that I don't know the meta anymore. That was probably my biggest annoyance with unthemed games: how incredibly formulaic they became.
And looking back it also drove some of my design decisions for GME and Old West and such.
I'm really looking forward to this. What are the chances we can get a DP game after this?

You guys should have an old schoolers vs. new schoolers game and you can see how terrible the games here have become.
Ever since cell phones became a thing, and you're able to check this thread every 5 minutes, you're considered lurking if you don't post 100 times a week.
You know what? I wonder if we could get a second old-bie game going. I'd be in! NZ is on almost complete lockdown, we're not allowed to leave the house except to buy groceries.
This just keeps getting better! So good to see all you guys!!

Wow. I remember setting deadlines modkilling players for not posting for a week and already kinda felt that was a bit harsh at the time.
