Why is it that most of the ziploc bags used by >G when packaging Sentinels cards (eg the dividers in an expansion box, or the mini-expansions) have a small round hole through both sides of the bag? I'm reluctant to use these bags to store my HP and status tokens, for fear that the latter especially will poke out through the hole, work it wider, and eventually cause the bag to spill its contents.
It makes it easier to get all the air out.
I use bags for all my tokens, including my homemade start/end of turn ones which have quite sharp corners due to them having been cut with a scalpel rather than die cut (I am planning to clip the corners like wargamers do but haven't got to it yet).
And all my bags have holes for the reason Ronway explained. In fact, most of my games are bagged up like this and even with very cheap bags I haven't had a problem. If a hole does ever widen you'll notice it way before it's big enough for a token to fall out.
It makes it easier to get all the air out.
Genius. That never occurred to me.
You're obviously just not obsessed enough with little zip lock bags. ;)
I dread to think how many of them are residing in my house happily earning their keep by segregating my cards and tokens. Probably thousands.
That's a great idea! I always assumed it would help with trapped moisture.
It'd be more likely to let moisture IN, I think...
If there's moisture in your box, you're in trouble anyway.
Had a copy of Rail Baron get ruined by moisture in the box.
I had a copy get ruined by being Rail Baron. Train games bore me to tears.
Seconded. Not my… bag.
(See what I did there?!)
This thread's gone off the rails already. Let's get back on track!
I thought that's what PlatinumWarlock was doing?
>G has been using those bags for the demo sets taken to cons, and they've never had an issue with the holes weakening the bag's structure. Honestly, I think the bags are of strong-enough plastic that it isn't an issue.
Obviously he hasn't been trained well enough.
I'll stop now, shall I?
Yeah, you are definitely crossing the line, you've derailed this thread too long. It's time to start conducting yourself properly, and get this whole conversation back on track.
I think you've reached the end of the line
You guys are giving me seriously mixed signals....
Don't worry, we'll run out of steam eventually.
... I like trains
I choo choo choose not to participate in these kind of forum shenanegans.
Wow, you can never take that one back. Oh well, it's your Caboose, not mine.

FRIGHT TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN
…and now I'm seeing Mr. Fixer singing Kung Fu Fighting.
Ohhh...what pun-tastic wrath have I wrought upon this board? *hangs head in shame*
I love everything about this thread.
ALL ABOARD THE FRIGHT TRAIN!

Perfect signature for under that picture.
Fright Train's definition of what is honorably possible might be interesting.
The fact that this thread got its ticket punched before I could think of a pun makes me disappointed.
…
What, you expected a train joke to be on time?
Richard, have you been waiting a whole week with a really bad joke just to make that meta joke? hangs head Maybe.
I was considering a one-liner about monorails. But I figured this wasn't the right platform for that kind of thing.
I started coming up with one, but I ran out of steam...
It takes some twisted people to turn an innocent discussion of plastic sealable bags into a festival of puns.
But to change the thread title?
That takes some really Loco Motives.
Idon't know, I have a lot of esteem for someone who does that.
It takes a lot to train your brain to pun.
look i think someone lost there train of thought and now we are headed down the wrong track.
someone did the wrong thing here i think we should find out who ... before they cover there tracks to well
Listen, this is no way to conduct or comport oneself on a serious topic. It has most assuredly signaled the end of anything but a switch to silliness. Crossing that line cannot be undone. It's time to bite the bullet and move on.
Shoot. I was just getting into this thread again but if you're all fired up about it I guess we can stop hammering away and trigger another discussion.
Get a grip. Your automatic response shows you for what you are: a mere shell. It's causing a whole stir over nothing.
Do we have a legendary thread archive? Because THIS definitely deserves a spot.
Uhm… Bullet train?
You know, puns about monorails always make for decent one-liners.
Well sir, theres nothin' on earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail!
Oh, so that's where this card came from.
