Lol, I kind of like your Maze boards Ozy.

Thingol -

Random Mazes (http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/Random+Mazes) is pretty good.  I could write a few paragraphs about the thought that went into it, and I think it's fun to play, and looks good - especially for a board that is 100% procedurally generated.

A Maze Maze Maze Maze World (http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/A+Maze+Maze+Maze+Maze+world%21) is the disaster.  It devolves into stalemates way too often.  The bottlenecks and the 4 closely even zones just lead to it.   It all came from wanting to make a Maze game based on the Mad Mad Mad Mad World movie, which led me to 4 maze zones, and it all fell apart from there.

Hey BRG - I got inspired...  I created an "Ode to Ozy" team game...  have fun - join!!

Ah, got it. I could see why you’d want to create a game for the movie though. It’s a classic, especially the scenes with Jonathan Winters and Sid Silvers. “Down there?!!!”

I understand some might like how long this thread has got.. but would someone consider starting a new one and locking this? The "page count" is starting to distort how the forum is displayed.

Is this the longest thread now?

Just asking Aiken, but where does it distort it for you? on the forum page? I had my settings at 50 posts to a page so I only had 17 pages which on my phone just doubled up onto two rows and still one for when I use my laptop. I just tested and switched to 10 posts per page. On my laptop it's just 3 rows and on my phone 4 rows which doesn't seem be a problem. Or is it something completely different that I'm missing?

Did a quick review of all the forums. This one out paces the 2nd longest thread by about ~320ish (~830 to 507)

Which in my opinion is kinda awesome! With that google sheet I shared I was working my way through the whole thread to document what we've done/provide a better way to manage the group and the nostalgic value in that is huge at least to me.

Given I like to look at numbers here's a little more I found by looking at the top 10 longest Wargear threads.

If you ignore the bug and site enhancements/request threads the next longest is number 9 at 278 which is ~550 shorter than the BRG currently. Which I definitely plan on taking a look at.

Now if you just look at the General Discussion (9), Off Topic (1), & Strategy and Tactics (0) top 10.

And still some of these are basically just site enhancement/request threads.

I've brought this up before - on the main Gen Discussion page, it lists out all 42 pages of this thread which distorts the listings. The conclusion we came to then was to *not* archive this, to keep it going; BUT to modify to show only limited number of page icons (i suggest just the first and last page icons). 

Yeah, I'm not sure if possible.. but 1,2,3...39,40,41 is better than listing every page. 

 

Simply moving onto another thread is the easiest.. but I understand if those who contribute a lot here (I recognise I don't!) might like it as it is :)

+1. I think it's great to be able to see how this thread has progressed.

Cool, but this is tough - there are so many boards that I enjoy playing. Many of which get no love at all.

I am going to go with Atomic Transporters.

My son played Wargear for about a year 10 years ago. This was his favorite board.
