I just finished updating to MovableType 2.5. The biggest improvement visible to you, my faithful readers, is the search ability. So, here you are, a search box. It searches both entries and comments. I got keyword option; that’s great, I love keywords and thesauri. I’m studying to become a librarian — that’s my excuse for…
…intimidating – but those small boxes offer a very small slice of the Dale of Merchants universe, so eventually you’re going to want more if you like the game.

…he won. I had to check the tie-breaker rule, as I’ve never needed it before. It was a close, tense match, Blue Moon City at its best. I like the game, it’s getting better the more I play it. One rules issue came up. How do the scales work, if the scale pool runs out…
Arvuutin is a new Finnish trivia game from Onni Games, the makers of Politix and Aether. This is a Finnish-only release, so I’ll keep this short: it’s a rather clever game, where everybody answers the questions simultaneously by playing number cards (all answers are numbers 1-100).
