 enbycephalopod: I wonder how Jonny is doing
TheAinMAP: 
   LoadingReadyRun: how's the music volume?
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I just finished my latest rewatch not too long ago.
kusinohki: tuba or not tuba....  that's a question??
 LostThePirate: I don't hear any music, but I have my volume kinda low.
 MAPBoardgames: Who runs Alberta town?
 Jillexie: Ian runs Alberta town
   LoadingReadyRun: 'Berta Town?
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EvilMoldyPenguinDancingBanana-h2MlePM3KHPfpv_z
kusinohki: alberta alberta...  where'd you been so long.  ain't had no lovin'....  since you've been gone
 RandomTrivia: 
 xantos69: Hang on a sec... I'm in Kansas.  How come I have not noticed any of this?
kusinohki: hate to tell you this, but you may not be in kansas anymore
 adept_nekomancer: Kansas will be there... look for it's coming at first light, on the fifth day.
 MacbethSeemsSus: Beware kansas' alter ego though. Ar-Kansas
 KaleidoscopeMind: wow, James really looks like Beej when he shaves
kusinohki: trying to come up with an UR-kansas joke.  brain no worky
 MAPBoardgames: Dongver, Cootcharado?
 StageMgrRob: beej should have gotten points for that route
   LoadingReadyRun: @MacbethSeemsSus I totally didn't realize those are spelt the same 
 xantos69: @LoadingReadyRun US states are not named that creatively.  About half are duplicates.  North/South Dakota, Regular/West Virginia, New Mexico/York/Jersey/Hampshire.  There are other examples... but you get the idea.
kusinohki: does the city sticker there do anything??  (I really have no idea)
 adept_nekomancer: @MacbethSeemsSus That's why we put Oklahoma and Missouri between Kansas and Arkansas--it keeps them apart so they don't annihilate one another in a Kansas/anti-Kansas reaction.
 StageMgrRob: I thjought that you got point for each section of train that is built?
 Sethalidos: Ian
kusinohki: TTR legacy scores differently than regular ttr
 MacbethSeemsSus: @LoadingReadyRun Yeah luckily they're pronounced differently.
 RandomTrivia: 
   LoadingReadyRun: @xantos69 I hope people call it "Regular Virginia"
 xantos69: @LoadingReadyRun Sometimes to be clear... yea
 Decaped: Daddy O'Malley
 MacbethSeemsSus: @adept_nekomancer Missouri's tempting fate with Kansas City
 xantos69: @MacbethSeemsSus That's the best thing about all of Missouri's biggest and most important cities. All of them are desperately trying to get out of that state.  That is why they are all on the border.
 RandomTrivia: Without James this stream goes off the rails
 RatherLargeToad: Duluth: It sneaks up on you
kusinohki: ttr europe in 15 min....  doubt I could even explain the rules that fast
   LoadingReadyRun: I hope people in Kansas and Arkansas annoy each other by pronouncing the name like the other one
 xantos69: @LoadingReadyRun Can't be done.  Nobody from Arkansas can read.
 Strebenherz: jokes' on you, nobody in kansas can either
 MacbethSeemsSus: @LoadingReadyRun The start of each state is silent so they're both pronounced "Ansas"
 xantos69: @Strebenherz No, we just put Jesus in our biology textbooks!
   LoadingReadyRun: I feel like I've stumbled onto a deep interstate rivalry 
 Strebenherz: about as 'friendly' as england and france over the years yeahh 
kusinohki: when wine is someone's blood it's biology???
  Juliamon: it's less an interstate rivalry and more like they're the appendix and gallbladder of America. They're there and you don't think about them until they're a Problem
kusinohki: why is there a wild card in neuvo angelis (or whatever the earthquake place is called) ??
kusinohki: nvm
 Twilight_Spark: IBM means IBM now
 Jillexie: No union busting!

kusinohki: a chicken in every pot and a locomotive on every train!
 Twilight_Spark: Yin yang choo choo ride on my Zen
 MacbethSeemsSus: Enrico Fermi: That's an aesthetically pleasing pile.
 Metalupis: come on, break that strike Beej
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/HelplessFaithfulWombatRedCoat-TKf-eNz14IbfNIGO
kusinohki: earthquake seems kind of an extreme way to end a strike...
kusinohki: don't suppose The Court Jester is public domain?
   LoadingReadyRun: @kusinohki The Court Jester is one of my favourite movies 
kusinohki: I've only seen it once, but it was quite fun
 sheqesi: Danny Kaye was a treasure, The Court Jester is one of my favorites too

 RandomTrivia: 
2 raiders from Texy_88 have joined!

kusinohki: discworld's first engineer with a slide rule everyone considers a 'magic wand'
Texy_88: TEXYRAID   
 Strebenherz: ianplz
Texy_88:  Happy Partnerversary!
TheAinMAP: Some locomotives today might need urea for their Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
  Juliamon: the Caboose of Dr. Caligary
kusinohki: is the next game the "teller-ultimate" game??
TheAinMAP: antepenultimate
TheAinMAP: We're back
 definenull: and a toot toot to you too 
  Juliamon: they are "the A in MAP"
 SymphonySolstice: trains impose a certain amount of risk
 Decaped: Will James be able to dig himself out of this hole?
 Decaped: Very on brand.
Texy_88: Hope you're enjoying "Ticket To Ride™: Legacy". I bought this during the Black Friday weekend but haven't played it yet as I'm still trying to get my head around the rules, given that there are so many things it tells you not to look at until told to during gameplay, which means you can't really practise. 
 SymphonySolstice: 
 SymphonySolstice: it was raised by orcas
   LoadingReadyRun: @Texy_88 if you've played regular Ticket to Ride, the mechanics start pretty similar
 foopoiuyt: Notice me, otter-sempai
 Mazrae: Hello everyone, how is everyone doing, also James looks different somehow but I can't put my finger on it
 RandomTrivia: Ian 
 SymphonySolstice: beej (the j stands for james)
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ResilientExpensiveStarlingGrammarKing-NZDgQlRtL6ElfBOS
 RandomTrivia: Ian pls
 xantos69: When they invent the Smell-o-vision I suspect the Twitch streamer demographic will entirely change.  Bread baking shows will become WAY more popular.
orrie104 subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 56 months!
orrie104: Woo, 56 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, orrie104! (Today's storm count: 34)
 Getter404: Oh? I heard he earned an iron urn!
 Decaped: Like most thing on the internet, porn will be the trendmaker.
 CaptainSpam: "Siri, schedule an appointment for tomorrow at 10am." "Sure thing, Mistah J."
 xantos69: @Decaped I hate that you are right, but I accept the truth of your statement.
Texy_88: @LoadingReadyRun I've played lots of different variations of TTR (even "Rails & Sails").
 Cptasparagus: Ive randomly watched a few youtube videos recent which go over bridge failures and all of them had huge warning signs and failed inspections and they just let them go
   LoadingReadyRun: @Texy_88 you'll probably be fine with legacy, then
  Juliamon: The biggest detriment to humans is, in fact, human nature
drewm1022: Everybody freeze, I dropped my contact!
 tehfewl: as someone who lived in Norfolk, it was alright
EvilBadman: Agree Norfolk is big meh especially if you don't care about Naval stuff
 Cptasparagus: I've lived in 6 of the cities on the board and chicago wins by far for me
 Twilight_Spark: Gotta get some food to gamble away at the Hard Rock.
 Twilight_Spark: gold* even
 MacbethSeemsSus: I mean if it was Portland, ME.....that commute would still suck
 Decaped: Is the gold rush mechanic good? Maybe not on this board.
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/SeductiveRichQuailDatBoi-5_wojNZShl0_BU8f
 Decaped: End of the game we find out gold rush was a hoax by Momma O'connel
Texy_88: @RandomTrivia Thanks.
 xantos69: Ok, to be clear... nobody is stopping anybody from going and being a prospector today.  You can buy land on the cheap in the mountains and you can mine and pan for gold all you want.  But nobody does it (even though gold is worth more than ever) because it sucks.
Texy_88: @Juliamon Thank you.
The_Voices:  Happy Partner anniversary!
 Cptasparagus: i just found out that Bangor is a town in the UK as well. They also have Dundee which is weird to me becuase that is australia
 thrythlind: my mom's family apparently settled a lot of the area around Moab, Ut.  Wilson Arch was named after an ancestor
 SymphonySolstice: @cptasparagus it turns out a lot of places are named after already extant british places
Texy_88: @Cptasparagus Yes, Bangor is in Northern Ireland and Dundee is in Scotland.
 MAPBoardgames: Essen is also the middle of the Rhur
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Just like Ticket To Ride Europe also having Essen
 Getter404: 56...ish
 ghyllnox: Nobody carries their DBloon huh
loufghyslaufey:  Happy Partner anniversary!
 MacbethSeemsSus: Toilet's haunted
 wedge_x: always has been
 definenull: SourPls
 LostThePirate: Cori knows all about haunted toilets lol
 iris_of_ether:   
 thrythlind: @SymphonySolstice there was an old "Not Always Right" story where someone from Europe, I think France, was ranting about how ridiculous it is that American movies had to name the countries with famous city names like "Paris" because it should be obvious.... so he goes up to the ticket booth (the guy telling the story) and asks for a ticket to "Paris" to prove his point... the ticket guy asks "State A, State B, or State C?" he looks flustered and tries a few more European cities and some like Cai
 thrythlind: and eventually just gives up as the people he was with chuckle at him
 RandomTrivia: Do NOT let him cook
 Sethalidos: Beej No
 spethycakes: They call it "Menver" for a reason
 wedge_x: Olympus Mons
 xantos69: St. Paul is actually named after this guy Greg.
 MacbethSeemsSus: The society of cincinatti was big with the founding fathers
TheAinMAP: "The Empire Builder" James J. Hill was from the Twin Cities.
loufghyslaufey: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/SmellyAuspiciousDragonflyPermaSmug-sTHrHpLaZNkPjv23
loufghyslaufey: The clips editor still feels ever awkward to me
 Getter404: Got confirmed as an apocryphal saint who it turns out was also the patron saint of liars. Fun times
 thrythlind: Better Off Dead
 thrythlind: The movie is Better Off Dead
 thrythlind: I've seen that SO MANY TIMES
drewm1022: I want my 2 dollars!
loufghyslaufey: @Getter404 Do saints distinguish themselves from or as such?
 Getter404: @loufghyslaufey No, it just turns a lot of them were just plain made up, like St Christopher
 thrythlind: Why would they remove Kuro-Neko-San?
gryfeathr: KuroNeko shows up at the very end as a little cameo
 calculated_uncertainties: How dare they!
 Getter404: Forget Trigun, where's my Excel Saga remake
 calculated_uncertainties: Konami code?
 stevefromdetroit: Ho Chi big city!
BoardGameBard:  
 Cptasparagus: the US is looking like Steven Universe Russia with the big hole in the center
 BusTed: 
kusinohki: I assume that hole will get filled at the end of this game.  I think it's the last piece...
 Cptasparagus: yup
 Decaped: If I ever make a Legacy game like this, I'm purposely leaving a big hole that looks like it should be filled with a puzzle piece
kusinohki: wonder what will get added for the last game since there's no map section
 KeytarCat: @Decaped A fundamentally different kind of puzzle, so it's extra confounding!
 Cptasparagus: super area 51 with aliens
 MacbethSeemsSus: So do they substantiate Kansas or Saskatchewan
 thrythlind: "these bandits work for another company" pretty accurately describes the old west, actually
 KaleidoscopeMind: prediction for final round: mama o'connell boss battle
 omdorastrix: A giant triangular hole the size and shape of a slice of pizza
 definenull: now you're thinking like an exec beej
kusinohki: this feels like portugal in El Grande...
kusinohki: which reminds me - LRR should play El Grande on AFK some time...
 MacbethSeemsSus: It be great of one of the pieces didn't have any train routes to mess with players.
kusinohki: Oof, just did the math....  el grande turns 30 this year...
 McBannin: didn't realize Nelson was being paid to advertise Big Ginger Ale
 Decaped: Big James Big Gamble
 RandomTrivia: Nice
 Mashamino: nice
 Decaped: Good Job Games!
Zulghinlour: Math is hard
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Sounds like something for California
kusinohki: "build a bridge out of her!"
TheAinMAP:  
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Also gold
 RandomTrivia: "If we don't hear about them, it didn't happen!"
 Decaped: One unlucky gold rush point difference between 3 players
 Decaped: and Nelson
 wedge_x: same!
 Mazrae: I don't remember, don't postcards have effects that only the person that gets them know, or something like that?
   LoadingReadyRun: @Mazrae yup
kusinohki: I _think_ there's a public text which ppl read out loud and private text which players keep to themselves
 Decaped: Free top every turn? Schedule extra time for the next game.
kusinohki: time for beej to get out of dodge!
   LoadingReadyRun: ya, that's how it goes. Beej and Cori read the public part of the post card, but we don't know the actual effect
 spethycakes: Yes, my Ticket Master
   LoadingReadyRun: Nelson: known fan of TicketMaster
 xantos69: Ian you can't do that on the internet.
 jessicaengle: No takesies backsies!
 Decaped: Do not disrespect the Helm
kusinohki: the badlands?  past that are the worse lands, followed by the way screwed lands...
Voidhawk42: Always Disrespect The Helm
 spethycakes: !advice
  LRRbot: Never do a puzzle in zero gravity.
kusinohki: shares?  TTR becomes an 18XX game??
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Selling Chers?
 Decaped: Sonny is on the run
 CrossXhunteR: is this one of those evolving board games
kusinohki: a shared share deck??
 spethycakes: it's share-squared
 definenull: oh i was excited for a second, I misheard Cher deck 
kusinohki: ttr turns into acquire with train companies merging and share holders getting a payout...
 Decaped: How do you win the campaign, btw?
 definenull: yes. this is the entire world.
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Maps without NZ.
kusinohki: I assume most money over all games.  but it's possibly whoever won the most games....
 TehAmelie: until they make a train route to Hawaii
 jessicaengle: Wow, a million cats.
 Decaped: if the SHares count for the campaign win, i would assume it's money total
