Read the below when you're done being horny

The obvious thing to do is to maximize pips (the little dots that tell you the relative probability of that number being rolled), so that you will (most likely) get more resources.
You also want to pay attention to which numbers you're building on. It's generally good to build on a wide range of numbers, so you're somewhat consistently getting resources. But sometimes you can find advantageous pairings, like if you can build adjacent to a wood and a brick that both have 6's on them, you'll get a road every time a 6 is rolled.
Thirdly, you have to pay attention to what resources you build adjacent to. Generally, it's a good idea to have a diversity of resources. I generally like to be able to collect on every resource, but it's not necessary if the board is set up so you can corner the market on a certain resource (and force people to trade with you for it), or if you can build on/near a 2:1 port of something you collect a lot of. Sometimes I like to initially build on a 3:1 port if it's adjacent to two hexes that have decent pippage. Also, you might want to weary of trying to be strong in one resource if you're going to be weak in something that it's paired with. It kind of sucks if you have to keep trading all the stone you have built up to get wheat, and then you don't have enough stone left over to build a settlement.
Lastly, you should try to build with an eye towards expansion. You want to try and leave yourself multiple options, because if people see that you're set up to expand in a certain direction, they'll do their best to block you. You don't want to start off building two cities nearish each other with the intention of connecting them, and then have nothing left with somebody else realizes this and places their city inbetween them.
Obviously you won't be able to succeed in placing so that all of those things are good, but it's about trying to find placements so that as many of those things are as good as possible, without being so bad in any of them that it ruins you.

Meh, let's just play some Magic: The Gathering where we don't need to discuss strategies for hours first (presuming that everybody already have those strategies down)

I told you it was dirty minded.
Hey now, I'm a nerd, not a loser
Because you're not Mary Poppins
I wish. That'd be soooo easy. (Yeah, I'm that lazy)
That's barely dirty at all...

Of course not. I'm still trying to guage what you meant by 'in a pet kind of way' and trying to figure out if that is a good thing or not.
You'd be surprised what I could put inside you
Wait, shouldn't that be part of the strap-on talk in the other thread? *wink wink nudge nudge*
I guess that depends on your kinks

My kinks are whatever gets your tits in my mouth, or better yet gets my cock sliding between them.Wait, shouldn't that be part of the strap-on talk in the other thread? *wink wink nudge nudge*

If that's your focus, then petplay definitely isn't your thing.
