While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

[spryllino]

This. Here's the map. At the moment, Frisia, Muwahhidun, Georgia, Tver, Duke's Lithuania, Volynia, the Zabid place in the Yemen, the Pandyas in southern India, and Georgia are the important countries that are free.

What the? Aww man I'm such a blitz, figures an awesome NES would fly past my radar during the semester finals.

 

[Terrance888]

Looks like we have a burst of story NESes.

 

[Freemanuncg]

Are there usually more umm 'board' game nes's than story ones?

I also ask this question. Someone above said there is a burst of story NESes, but doesn't NES = "never-ending story"? I guess that word has a lot of definitions, though, depending on who you ask. An interesting thing to think about.

Is "PerfNES" a story NES, by the way?

 

[Freemanuncg]

Not according to my sources, and what i looked at for it left me a little confused.

 

[Ninja Dude]

Perf NES is more stat and update driven. Luckymoose's new NES would be a good example of a "story NES".

And my NES...

 

[Terrance888]

We have LuckyNES, MutantNES, Two Knights NES thingys, Eltain's NES is a self-professed Story NES which stories superpower a nation'd development based on quality, same goes, on a lesser scale, in a much more stat-based Immaculate NES. EQ's NES shows that stories are pretty important, supporting actions and pointing towards sucess.

 

[Ninja Dude]

Anyone want to join in on the #nes EU3 multiplayer game?

 

[Luckymoose]

I would love to host it but I'm banned and you turds forgot.

There hasn't been a whole lot of board game NESes in years. RoddyVR was the big boardgamer. Other than the odd game of Risk or Diplomacy, board game NESes really just haven't been popular.

PerfNES is emphatically not a board game NES. It's not really a story NES either. In the old terminology, which we tend not to use anymore, it'd probably be considered more of a "simulationist" NES.

 

[Birdjaguar]

How many NESes are active now?

 

[Kraznaya]

Shouldn't that be something you'd be able to accurately assess given that you moderate every NES thread?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Not really. I moderate with a "light touch" and you all are well behaved.

 

[Thlayli]

SysNES had boardgame rules, if rather complex ones. That was perhaps the last original boardgame NES.

NEB 1 and other Daft projects like ZPNES V have had dice rolling as well, though they weren't pure boardgames.

 

[SKILORD]

How many NESes are active now?

It would probably be a hotly contested number. Personally I would claim that JNES, MutantNES, and also Disco, are still alive and well and it's everyone else who is in denial.

But I have not committed to counting them all, there seem to be quite a few, perhaps even several.

 

[Freemanuncg]

Certinly more than one and probabally less than 1000.

"One, two, three, four. Four NESes ah ah ah"

 

[spryllino]

My NES is a story NES and it needs more players!

These thirteen NESes are apparently running and fully active:

PerfNES
HeroNES
Tales from the Ether
All the King's Men
The Beginning of the World As We Know It
BirdNES 3
SprylliNES IV
ImmacuNES II B
MilarNES 3
Lands of the Galaxy: Circuitria
EltNES III
ZPNES X
GalaxyNES
