YOU don't understand why I can't post?
Try looking at through this end when I have to go thru 10 PM's with Chris and spend all his time (not to mention mine) giving and getting orders!!!
My wife thinks my Computer is haunted as it NEVER shows the same thing she gets on hers, and I'm to dumb to know how to change it.

Grudge your not dumb! Don't say such things about yourself. However, I don't think your computer is HAUNTED either.
I do remember that you had been having an extremely difficult time accessing and/or getting the forum website and posting system to work correctly for whatever reason. I know me and Chris had tried to get you sorted out (I asked for a screenshot at one time) but I don't know what has happened in the intervening time.
A note to self and others, game 2 and 3 will state clearly on the opening post,
NO ROLLBACKS unless a server issue or other event occurs that the admin and host have control over. Tis a difficult thing, you want to cover a lot of eventualities and try to cover as much of the rules of the game as you can in the opening post, but you have to sacrifice completeness for brevity otherwise you end up with a 10 page opening post that no one will read. I am sure that those who have admined games can understand what I mean.
I've updated the opening post to revise my ongoing evolution of what I think is at least a good general measure of what constitutes a Vet, Intermediate, and Noob player for our purposes anyway.
Veteran: 3 or more years of Dominions (not limited to Dom3) experience (both SP and MP) and/or Hall of Fame Member (Hall of Fame indicating extra-ordinary skill level).
Intermediate: 1 to 3 years of Dominions experience (both SP and MP).
Noob: 1 year or less of Dominions experience (both SP and MP).
The above can be further broken down (if necessary) into:
Green Noob: 6 months or less of experience (1 month or less = Fresh and Green
),
Lower Level Intermediate: 1 - 2 years experience,
Upper level Intermediate: 2-3 years,
and
Seasoned Veteran: 4 or more years of experience.
This usually can be determined in most cases by looking at a players Shrapnel forum join date (Space Empires and other games of course will throw this off).
Also experience alone does not take into account skill level but generally with experience your skill is assumed to improve. This also doesn't account for number of games played. But it's a reasonable guide I think.
