And you would be Colonel Mustard I take it?

And you would be Colonel Mustard I take it?

Pardon?

[Zone]

Spanner and lead pipe, two of the weapons available to do in Mr Boddy in the classic board game  Clue. The suspects include Col. Mustard, and Mrs Peacock. I always play Miss Scarlet, or I don't play at all. 

[ROOTless]

Ah, my apologies.
I don't believe I've ever played Clue.

It's pretty international, many people have played it under the name Cluedo,  it was created by Anthony Pratt from Birmingham, England. The game was first manufactured by Waddingtons in the UK in 1949.  Here in the US, when I was 6 my brothers and I scrimped and saved to manage the cost of that game (don't recall exactly but under $10 anyway).  Mr Boddy spent all that summer dead while the rest of us were revealed in turn as the perps.

I'm passingly familiar with Cluedo, but have never played it.
I have played (once) an inverted version called 'Kill Doctor Lucky' though.

Very clever stuff.

Don't believe I've played that one - what the basic concept?

I couldn't find it among those listed at the cheapass website, but they do now have The Island of Dr Lucky: https://cheapass.com/the-island-of-doctor-lucky/

Hey, boys.
What's new? 
Me? Had a couple trees attack my perimeter. They've bridged the moat (creek) and broached the stockade (fence). Tree shrapnel covers half the yard. I can only assume further hostilities are imminent.

[ROOTless]

Nothing much new here, sadly. I kinda wish there was.

... shadowrun story. Been brewing in head for a while. If you guys got a game can give it a go in, let me knowhow it goes.

Characters are hired to bust into game hardware developers section of megacorp. Their top guy is putting out new simsense rig, suppose to be as intense as btl but without addiction or health hazards, can play the games and actually feels like it.

Developer has tons of enemies, shitty business practices, rips off investors, companies ect. One of them hires you. The job?
Sneak into companys building, grab chip schematics, replace with new faked ones.

Find prototype dude is getting installed in a week, swap it for faked one johnson provided.

Find random prize list, replace names with several they provide, these people will receive new tampered implant.

Do not get caught tampering with implant or schematics, make it look like after something else.

Second stage of run for bonus. Company provides accounts for dudes fave game he created, has running bounty/challenge on himself, takenhim out in game, win cash prize and in game gear. The point? New chip operates EXACTLY like btl rig, and new chip can overheat Bad. Net assassination. Dudes gone (nobody is really sad cause he is peter molyneux, ea, bethseda, and fallout 76 levels of cunty) his company gets hammered as rush to get chips out of the prize winners, major lawsuits, charges on creating btl rigs. Ect. Pcs get nice payday, and extra payoff by selling in game they got for takingnout dude in game
