Slynky,
Thanks for the reminder. I'll try tonight.

And remember, game is up to you. Give me 1.84 game in regular Gold and a TDM Std map and the rest is yours for some fun...I'll try to step up to the plate.

That means your imagination is your limit. Meaning wild stuff such as, offensive/defensive traits MUST be lowered to 50% for each, or disallow weapons or shields, or NO advanced traits allowed.

I'll try anything! Let's have some fun!

You confuse me. LOL.

Not sure about the Posts, but 287 used to be the math co-processor to the 286 chip, right? If I'm wrong, then I lose my IT license (might be a blessing...LOL).

So, otherwise, I need help!

Slynky, you are older than I thought. (or have read far too much)
That was what I was referring too.

What kind of IT do you do?
Mostly I do "Desktop Support". I have no control over the Network level stuff except to grant access. Mostly it is software install, support, printers, setup etc.. My favorite part is "Allocation of Resourses"
My favorite expresion:
"I know where your data is. I know where your backups are"

"you are soooo dead!"

This is MY game!

45 names? EASY

A few notes:

(1) How do you want the names?

(2) Post updates in this thread called, "Fun Challenge".

(OK, done with the false bravado...down to business)

Lord Ithis woke from his traditional dreams of galactic conquest and scratched his (deleted).

He struggled with the "sandman" and reached for his handmote.

"Hmmmmm. Chane and Asmala were active, VERY active. That was good."

He smiled.

Still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he reached to his bed-table for his usual meal of organic nutrients. He smiled as he extracted a Thrilbim from its cracked shell.

Moving to an upright position on his grav-bed, he dropped the morsel on his waiting tongue and pulled it in with a peasent-like maneuver. Wiped the juice from his lips and inspected the tray for more tidbits.

But war loomed and he fought his hunger for delicacies. A more important thought grasped his attention.

"Ithion! ON!" He commanded. Yes, he was a bit egotistical but naming the WarComp after his name wasn't the biggest sin of his. "Where ARE Chane and Asmala?", he queried.

"Location Unknown"

"CONFOUNDRALS!" He nearly screamed. Hadn't he hired ancient mystics to supply him with movements and locations? He stomped across his quarters while scratching his (deleted).

Heads would roll!
