Default Doctors vs Lawyers on SEIV PBW -Public Challenge

I am a 33 year old family physician in Indiana. I have noticed that there are a bunch of lawyers who play SEIV. I would love to go head to head against you in a game of SEIV.

I would like to issue a public challenge.

I am calling for any physicians, nurses, first responders, and allied health professionals to a game of SEIV. I am proposing a team game of medical professionals against lawyers. Just think of it as therapy. You can act out fantasies of death and destruction Online. It would be therapeutic for me. Just drop me a line. Hehe.

That's hard to choose. I'm a laywer and a Paramedic.
Sorry, no more time to get another game running. I'm already involved in 2 games plus the TDM-ModPack.

I am not sure professional ethics will allow us lawyers to do that.

It is a bit like why lawyers are not allowed to sleep with their clients - it stops them being billed twice for essentially the same service

On the other hand, I suppose I could charge you £150 an hour for playing the game!!

I think globally and would like a PBEM or PBW - UK vs the rest of the world

I will take a rain check along with Mephisto. Until I am done compiling and testing all of the mods for the Gold CD, no games for me. However, as soon as the Gold crunch is over, I would love to play such a game!

I will keep the idea in the back of my mind and offer it again this spring. I would like to create a custom list of ship and system names appropriate for the 2 professions.

No, its actually not that hard. You play as a medical professional and covertly share info with the laywers(sic) by email. It's really a lot like your actual job, an undercover ambulance-chaser. Hehe.

P.S. No hard feelings. I admire your work on SEIV.

Ah, I get the best of both worlds and, in the end, I WILL RULE THEM ALL.
