I've played 18xx off and on for over 10 years. I once managed to bankrupt myself and end an 1830 game when all four of my 2 trains rusted and I had no money left in the B & O company treasury and not enough personal money left to buy a 4 train. Another time, I managed to win an 1870 game when I started the MP at $100/share and never stopped issuing dividends. My last game was 1817. It was a 5-player game. I got one stock round behind in purchases and could not start a second company, so it was a long, dull game.

I recently stumbled across Rails and am trying to get used to the interface. That may or may not influence how I see this game.

I've used PHP and MySQL for over 10 years. I started back with MySQL 3 & PHP 3. Now, I earn a living as a database developer / website administrator at a public university in San Diego, California.

Not only do I code for work. I also code outside of work. I also play Advanced Squad Leader, off and on. I don't have all the game pieces needed to play, so when I see a new scenario, I would like a tool that tells me if I have the boards and counters needed to play. I've developed a website that displays this information that works on my laptop only. I still need to work on new user creation and I want to make the web pages more browser / platform independent and I want to make the website more tablet/phone friendly. We'll see.
