March Madness Haggle - anybody interested? (SIGNUPS)

Yes, it’s time for everybody’s favorite Straight dope trading game I think, since it’s been nearly a year since the last one.

Take a look at previous threads for general idea of the rules, and how the game is played. I’ll post an official rule recap after getting a feel for the response.

Don’t have any specifics of the ruleset for this one yet, :smiley: But I think that it’s going to be something with a lot fewer distinct trade counters than before, 6-8 instead of 15-30, and some tricky fakeout rules, like rule 12 cancelling out rule 7. I think I may also specify that alliances or teamups between characters will not be officially sanctioned unless you can build them out of more traditional trades.

So how about it? Any questions??

I am so in.

You know of course, this means War. /Bugs Bunny

Let’s do this. “You better believe I’m in” said the defending Champion of ChrisK’s Haggle game.
Hey Oredigger, do you want 5 of my silver for 4 of your copper? :wink:

I hate you. :smiley:

Oh, so you admit that I was right about the entire your silver does not equal my copper deal ? :eek: :smiley:

I would perfer if this time we dont have the entire “become a geologist” sub-quest, as it were.

((No gemstones and no third party website to compare them to, 150% more confusion than is needed in this 1000% confusing game.))

I suggest that everyone, Chris, Vetrans, and Newcomers to this incredibly fun brain melting game read past games. Hopefully we wont have to re invent too many wheels.

I’m in.

I think I’ll give this game a second try.

:: Looks around at the even more familiar faces. ::

It’s people like these that make me wonder if I should change up my strategy this go around.
Then again, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Then again, again, perhaps I’m trying to get BACK into your head, already. :wink:

Yeah, this looks a lot like a Dragon’s hoard reunion so far, doesn’t it? It’d be nice to see some different faces.

Player list:

Either Chrisk is real good as hagglemaster, or the players are really insane.

("…over and over again, expecting a different result")
Perhaps it’s both.

Bumping for a Monday lunchtime crowd, at least here in NA.

If we can’t drum up a few more players, then maybe I’ll put the idea on hold for a few weeks.

Looks to me like we don’t have that much interest. :frowning:

The catch 22 is, we need new players in order to play. --yet the only people that want to play, are the old players.
