Neat thanks for the pointers! Still not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for (oddly enough the reviewer mentioned something as a negative that for me, for what I had in mind, was a positive - low unit limits! Helps to make the units feel more important and less "spam 10,000 of UNIT X").

I think I'll keep this one on my radar but for now Not In! - so if you added me to your list of random win-ness budejovic, do take me off... this time...! ;)

Congratulations, budejovice. It looks like you are doing well.

I had to lookup what "peakbagging" was. :-)

I can almost say that my hobby is collecting hobbies. Usually I reach some moment where I cannot continue (often due to lack of time), and at a later time I just pick up a new one. I can talk about oil painting, electronics, archery, coin collecting, roleplaying, kenjutsu... I'm never too serious with my hobbies and never invest too much money into them. Yet I always think about going back to them, and continue where I left off.

The hobbies I'm trying to maintain are swimming and boardgaming (mostly eurogames).

I'm in for a chance of winning Memoria, please.

Thank you for your generosity.

For others that may be interested, my friend and occasional climbing buddy Greg Slayden, who runs peakbagger.com, has a nifty little essay on how peakbaggers differ from other mountaineers:

Tempted - some mighty fine games on that list! - I know because I own quite a few (thankyou sales!).

However, I wont enter as I was gifted a rather shiny thing earlier this week and bought some bundlecrap too.

As to hobbies though... I used to practise longbow, but no longer (when you get to be a certain height, it gets damned expensive), and my other former hobbies are now my job really.

Sorry it isn't your thing either I was hoping for either Home world or warcraft 3D in space.
That's awesome you're quite lucky to get to do what you love.

only when i dont get poopy clients!

It kind of seems like geocaching, without the "caching" part. :-)
(but then again, I don't know that much about geocaching...)

Fair point that's why my hobby is still a hobby ;)

Congratulations on becoming a 3 star GOGeneral budejovice which you thoroughly deserve and more. Thank you for the celebratory giveaway with a mighty fine selection of games as well. I wouldn't have entered but one game caught my eye that has been on wishlist so please count me in with a chance for Memoria and I really appreciate the opportunity. :)

As for hobbies, when I was a lad I enjoyed collecting stamps for a while and then drawing/sketching but I never got good enough to do original work so I stopped pursuing it. I also took shot at writing poetry and had my very first poem selected to be published in a poetry.com collection which was very popular back then. I even won first prize in a local contest on a website but I haven't written any in a long while and have been procrastinating about getting back to it one of these days. I am also an amateur cinephile and like watching movies from all around the world.

So in short my other hobbies aren't anywhere near as interesting as yours, since I was really intrigued by your achievements in peakbagging that you recounted in a previous giveaway.

Bump!

Holy crap. That has to be one of the more terrifying hobbies I can imagine. I'd rather be a shark dentist or a tiger manicurist.

I'll close this in ±24 hours. Final bump!

Congrats on 3 very well deserved stars!!

NOT IN

Before you know it you will have 4 stars :)
