That setting was now changed.

See it here: If you have any feedback you want to share, I might edit it. John ------------- Welcome to the South Bay Boardgamers.  Our goal is to provide a fun, friendly venue for people to play games with each other -- mostly German-style or "euro" games since 2004.  To that end, we have: o A large gaming area (the Yahoo! cafeteria) o A wide variety of games brought every Monday (feel free to bring your own!) o A large pool of people -- you can go for months playing with different people each week. Even if you've never tried these designer boardgames before, it doesn't take much to learn them.  In fact, they stress simple rules and play so that even a beginner can have a decent chance against experienced players.  We hope you will come and check us out if you are near the Sunnyvale area! One thing to be aware of is that this group is allowed to use the Yahoo facility by the members being good citiz</pre> John Yeager 2013-05-14T01:27:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2332 <pre>Hi Boardgamers, Andy and I just met with Yahoo! Security and it wasn't at all what I expected. The problem had nothing to do with tailgating (you're off the hook, John). The problem was that a first time gamer showed up who was not a Yahoo! and didn't know where to go. He asked Security for help. They were put into the awkward position of having to either turn the guy away or let him in unescorted. That time they decided to be generous and let him in. Security informed me, however, that going forward this won't be the case. Someone in that position will be turned away. So, from now on if you invite someone to SBB, please meet him/her outside of URL's and show him/her in yourself. Also, tell them the rules such as not eating the free food, etc. The less involvement with Security the better. We really don't want to annoy them. Our continued use of URL's depends on their good will. Furthermore we could use more Yahoo! points of contact for when questions arise with Security. They have</pre> David Ranney 2013-05-03T21:26:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2328 <pre>Hi Everyone, From time to time someone in Yahoo! security suddenly becomes aware of SBB meeting in the Yahoo! cafeteria and has to discuss it with us. That has happened again. Are there any Yahoo!s who regularly attend the SBB gaming sessions on Monday nights still. It's shameful, but I haven't made it down there for a long time. </pre> David Ranney 2013-05-02T00:27:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2326 <pre>All games are like new condition: Archaeology The Card Game - 3 plays - $8 Batt'l Kha'os - 2 plays - $5 Battle for Hill 218 - 2 plays - $6 Factory Fun (zman) - 2 plays - $10 Hunting Party (no box) - 2 plays - $2 Kingsburg - 2 plays - $25 Neuroshima Hex!

Any interest in Bora Bora? I have a shiny new copy, and having played once, I am capable of teaching enough rules to get through 1-2 plays with minimal scrabbling for minutiae.

If that's of interest to any of you, let me know and we can try to set it up - I own the game and the additional materials. </pre> Erich Schneider 2013-01-27T20:30:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2318 <pre>Thought you might like to know! (This from the South Bay Wargamers Group): Communitas Charter High School is having a Day of Gaming at the Communitas Charter High School Multipurpose Room at 4849 Pearl Avenue in San Jose Starting at 11 AM on Saturday Feb 2nd. We will have plenty of games available to try out as well as space for you to bring and play something that you like. We are also looking for people to run demo games as well. Game Kastle is helping us out with this event and they will have a booth there with lots of cool stuff. Admission is free. We will have a raffle and a fully stocked concession stand. If you need further details please do not hesitate to let me know. Hope to see you on the 2nd Jeff Hiatt ------------------------------------ </pre> Mark 2013-01-22T21:53:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2305 <pre>Yahoo has some kind of event going on in the cafeteria tonight. I was turned away by security. The event was scheduled to end at noon, but has been continued for an indeterminate amount of time. The security guards said we could not use the upstairs tonight, and we wouldn't be able to get in until the event finished and they put away the chairs. If you see this message in time, I'd recommend not coming by Yahoo tonight. --Dave ------------------------------------ </pre> ice_tech 2013-01-15T02:38:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2304 <pre>Over the years I've acquired a lot of games that don't match my current interests. Most of these games were acquired used, and possibly I've never played them myself. Some of them were acquired new on clearance with trading in mind; I used to do a lot of trading on BGG but I've stopped doing that. Games have not been inventoried; if you really want me to count cards and pieces for something you are sure you want I may be able to do that. I'm not really interested in trading but feel free to offer me one game I might want for 5 or 10 things on this list. Http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wishlist/Morganza This is not a hardship sale. This is a make-room-for-more-games sale, a make-room-for-a-sofa sale. Games can be picked up from my house in Sunnyvale, delivered to GamesDay on January 19th, delivered to the regular Monday night gaming at Y! (though it may not be meeting January 21st as that is MLK Day), or delivered to BAP at the end of the month.

I am relocating to Europe early next year and selling most of my games. Here's the full list: http://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~khullett/doku.php?id=games_sale I can bring these to most local game nights or the Loudon Nelson or Los Altos gamesdays in December or January, or meet in the city or on the peninsula on weeknights (after 7) or elsewhere in the bay area on weekends. All transactions will be made through BGG marketplace and I will pay their 3% commission. I'll also donate 3% of any transactions that come from SVB or gamesday to the maintenance of those groups (if any other groups rely on donations let me know). I'll have everything up on BGG this weekend, but I wanted to give locals the first pick. For now let me know what you want and I'll list them separately. Payment can be either paypal or cash. Feel free to make offers if buying multiple games. </pre> Ken Hullett 2012-11-29T08:10:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2301 <pre>I received a message suggesting that there was still confusion about what attendees could consume while attending the group in the Yahoo! Cafeteria. I asked our Yahoo! sponsor for a clarification. We may drink the fountain soda - only the fountain soda. Not the packaged drinks (Odwalla, etc.) nor the cafeteria food, nor the vended food. Hope to see you tonight, Randy Farmer (group co-founder) </pre> F. Randall Farmer 2012-11-26T18:38:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.sb-boardgamers/2299 <pre>Hi sb-boardgamers, I sent an email to Yahoos reminding them of this group, and the group I have at lunch here. Based on emails I got, I think there should be some uptake on this. Please be on the lookout, and welcome your potential new hosts, and find room for them in games appropriate to their experience level.  We don't want to scare folks away. Remember, the more Yahoos who are part of the group, the more secure the group is here, as it's more of a "group for employees", rather than just a bunch of non-employees that meet here.
