10/10 to the @merseyrail announcer at Liverpool Central Northern Line for their announcements re: the Southport service!

For... some reason, me and my friends (okay, mainly me) have decided to try and get every @jackboxgames Party Pack achievement in one week. No guides, only the achievement lists. We started last night (Monday 5th) and we're already on 39/200. 100% in JPP2, 95% in JPP1.

After near-enough 50 hours across all 10 Party Packs, and 200 achievements later... it's done, with a day and a half to spare. (Not including Party Starter; it seems identical to their original games, and I might save the extra achievements for when Naughty Pack comes out!)

@merseyrail, can I double-check that Day Saver tickets are only valid for Off-Peak travel? One of my students was given one for travel this morning Peak, when they explicitly requested a Return ticket.

Serious kudos to the @StagecoachMCSL driver (4 - Dingle Circular) who managed to get up a snow-covered incline by SNAKING THE BUS. I would've honestly given up, the determination was impressive!

On behalf of everyone who had to leave the Southport service at Sandhills 21:59 due to there not being any staff - thank you @merseyrail for allowing me to meet some cool (both physically and metaphorically) new people!

@Scykoh, it's been 10 years since the Nuts & Bolts Glitchfest. Yes, some of us still remember, even after all this time.

@merseyrail, following the news that the new Class 777 trains are going to be in use from Monday, is there any indication - beyond it being the Kirkby line - of when the first new train service will run? After seeing them for so long, I look forward to actually riding one!

@geofftech, I know you've seen them in the Kirkdale depot, but they're *finally* going to start using the Class 777 trains on the Merseyrail network for public transport next week! bbc.com/news/uk-england-mers…

Well, this aged well... (@merseyrail) [Snow and "minor disruption" being flavours of the day!] Going to do just the Northern line today, and I'll leave separate Wirral line and All Stations runs for another day! Either way, I plan to set a Personal Best run today!
Morning, @merseyrail! I'm taking part in a charity event on December 10th, where I have to visit all 68 Merseyrail (Northern and Wirral) stations in one day. Any advice on how to tackle visiting that many stations on the same day? (CC @geofftech, for experienced advice!)

Whilst I shouldn't be surprised that @beziergames attempted to release a Mafia version of Ultimate Werewolf, even if it was in 2013, the fact it never made it off Kickstarter and thus makes information about roles hard-to-find is infuriating my "must learn/play everything" brain!
1
For reference, I have found exactly 5 roles that were designed to appear: Citizen, Mafioso, Doctor, Detective and Bodyguard. I have read the Kickstarter top-to-bottom, there doesn't seem to be a BoardGameGeek page, and very little information on other roles.

Whoever is currently doing the announcements for the Northern line at Liverpool Central is amazing! Had so much energy behind their words, and made quite a few of us laugh too! @merseyrail

@tomscott, I'm currently binge-watching your different game shows to calm my nerves before a Computer Science exam. Which of your one-off game shows do you wish you were able to make into an actual series? (Apologies if you've been asked this in the past!)
Idea for an extended project, and this is a "me-level" idea, thus likely making it wildly illogical: Designing a board game over a year, but I can only work on it during Game Jam event-times *and* it must include every theme from those events.

Example: If I elected to include @globalgamejam into my timetable, I would only have 48 hours to work on the game and implement the GGJ theme. After that, I would not be able to work on it again until the next game jam event (say, Ludum Dare) started, adding that theme in.

Anyone else attending a Free Comic Book Day event today? I'm heading to @WorldsApart_Liv for mine! ...and by "heading", I mean I might... already be there. ...yeah, there's no-one else here...

Random idea, and I'm not sure if it exists yet or not, or even if it's viable: A website/online version of @ThatMumboJumbo's Button from Hermitcraft.

@The_MJF (I ask, probably in vain) If you could've made Jericho go through actual Labors (like the tale of Hercules), which ones would you have gone with?
I promise, there were two different graduations!😂 Also: Hi, shattered!
Total proud Dad moment. Again. This is my son graduating from Edge Hill today with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Creating Writing. He stood at a different side today, so as to not get confused with last weeks graduation photos. Three graduations in 8 days. I’m shattered!

Training to be a teacher during a global pandemic probably wasn't my smartest move... But I survived (somehow) and today is my graduation! - Caleb Anderson PGCE
