The luck on 3X continues to be utterly horrid. It was great to see an easier price in the game for the first time in years.

Here’s what you missed last week: https://tripleatpir.wordpress.com/

The latest episode was written by my colleague, Skipps Largo.

Hope this helps!

I’ll be a less frequent commenter from now on due to a unpleasant encounter I had w/ Steve Gavazzi.

[SteveGavazzi]

I’ll be a less frequent commenter from now on due to a unpleasant encounter I had w/ Steve Gavazzi.

No, you'll be a less frequent contributor because I banned you.

Good Lord.

[TPIRfan#9821]

Rocky, I don't think you understand why Gavazzi made those statements to you. Although he's harsh, he just wants there to be proper discussion on these forums. Posting one-clause sentences like "Eh, nothing to note about this episode" and a rating solely based on how many games were won and if a car was won makes it literally impossible to improve discourse (since what can I say to counter? "Oh, you're definition of meh is bad and you should feel bad you rated it a 4/10?"). Steve has only told you to stop posting those types of comments, and if a one-line zinger and a single numerical digit is all you're going to post, perhaps you better keep that judgment to yourself. Can you reply that you understand that? I've seen many users banned for just saying "mods suck" without considering why they've been warned before, and I really don't want that to happen to you.

EDIT: Well, Steve beat me to it.

[Prizes]

9821 cleared that with me. He’s not doing it to mini mod, he’s doing it to help Rocky learn from past mistakes.

And thanks Steve. Much needed.
