Re: Expressing our gratitude to the Devs.

you should put that in a seperate thread. Im not sure if they (or other people who should chime in) are reading the thread about me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Expressing our gratitude to the Devs.

Thanks Gandolf for all that you do. I wish I could afford to give more. Now go build an awsome server http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

While I certainly approve of everything that Gandalf has done for the game (that I know about), I am not willing to set up a PayPal account just to give a $0 donation (and I can't afford anything more than that).

IIRC, Paypal only requires you to have an account to RECEIVE money. You can pay without setting up an account. Just FYI for future reference.

Shouldn't ICK be pronounced eek? Which would make it similar in meaning to "eek", which is very different from yuck or eww.
And besides the chet makes it sound a whole lot worse http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I understand the various ways ICK people have pronounced, but I had a different one. Mine was the "itch" as in "HITCH".

The little image always looked appropriate for "itch-as-in-Hitch" also. I felt a minor sense of loss to find out that it isn't ICH, but merely a pleblian LCH.

Ell-cee-aitch, not eye-cee-aitch: are you sure?

As for my reluctance to initiate a paypal account: I have too many accounts, credit cards, passwords etc. Age wise, I am a lot closer to 60 than 50, (a contemporary of Gandalf, for that matter) and I have started to actively simplifying my life. A check is money, my addition/subtration skills are undiminished, and I feel like I am in control of my money by using checks.

I make plenty of travel and similar transactions on-line. But I like to touch what I buy before I purchase it, so e-Bay, catalogs and other e-tail commerce is not an attractive or viable proposition to me.

Of course, it could merely be that I am an old dog and unwilling to learn new tricks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And the check is in the mail.
