Although my spelling skills suck, I am a rather accomplished report writer. I have never written anything with the intention of ever having it used for anything other than work, and for that matter, published.
Ok time to speculate...
MM & Shrapnel are being sued, and Richard needs someone with great writing skills and knowledge of SEIV to help prove that SEIV is unique, and not a remade Version of another game. (Damn Microsoft)
Two, MM & Shrapnel are branching the SEIV franchise out to include other consules.
Three, A Book Series.
Four, A new manual.
Five, A How Too Book to be published.
Any of these in the ball park Richard?
