A #mastodon feature I miss: follow-this-thread.
I often see a post somewhere where I'm really interested in following that specific conversation (everything I could see by opening that particular thread) for a while. A sort of ephemeral and thread-limited follow... Think...like maybe a column/tab dedicated to that thread...which then auto-disappears, say after no posts to the thread in N days.
(Yes, I'm aware of the technical scaling problems in this)
@18xx Played 1839 today with the new train roster (see image -- note: ROI formula is weird due to rules stuff).
Revenues & train lifespans were fairly close to the model (eg green in OR2.1 but light brown in OR4.1 instead of OR3.2 -- so not off by much) -- which was maybe overly flattering to my 'leet game modelling skillz. Woo.
I wonder what happens with Builder/Growth players who solidly play for rank/position vs binary win/lose (both things I don't do)? #18xx
@18xx Other notions (mine, mostly in reaction to Bruce's):
Pays a function of the number of shares in the Bank Pool (maybe just one specific company, maybe some ability to change which company, or maybe all shares in the pool).
Pays a function of the number of companies with a stock price over $X or under $Y (possibly scaled by game phase). Get the game to race to the bottom (or a booming game economy) and it pays through the nose...
An experiment: @18xx

Why?
