Phoenix D has stepped forward to host the match, which is befitting of his rank of General. Thank you!

Since I now have to order Gold, can anyone suggest another good Shrapnel game? Postage and handling is expensive and the same for two games. Armies of Armageddon is a dud.

Your welcome Saxon, I was trying to be nice after all and you do have my sympathies for not having a holiday

Phoenix D, I take it all back, you are a scholar and a gentleman sir

Yeah, I will have to order gold as well though cripes knows when I am going to get a chance to play it - most of the time I have a lap top- posting on the forum is fine, loading games on is a huge work no-no

On a separate thing, Mac keep in mind that you never see a poor american lawyer - that is true - us europeans do not earn a third as much, for example,

starting salary in New York for a newly trained lawyer at a top firm = $130,000 plus bonus
starting salary in London for a newly trained lawyer at a top firm = $35,000-40,000
starting salary in Manchester for a newly trained lawyer at a top firm = $23,000-28,000

scary differentials there

My Take II:
GT, I expect you to play,
Rats, just got a call, I'll edit this later

I saw this in the "Beginners Guide" thread.

["You know trouble is brewin..QUOTE]


Now my good Tesco, with the honorable races that one shall encounter within the upcoming Universal Extravaganza, how could you emphasize that a form or conflict (trouble brewin) would possibly be initiated between races meeting for the lst time? I would like to think that they would welcome each other and formulate plans to exchange cultures and other stimuli to understand each other so co-existance among the stars and its vast resources could be accomplished. However, there could be one or two exceptions, like maybe a furry, tailed race of monsterous proportions that envisions itself as , sauve, debonair, sophisticated and let alone intelligent Or a race that has a somewhat symbiote relationship with a small, little eared, furball, which incorporates some alien ritual during mating season and attaches itself to the hosts outer anatamy. One must wonder, what one shall meet out in the far reaches of the unknown.

GT, are you serious, Lawyers over there only make that much, that's unbelievable. Is that the same all over Europe? I would have thought they made a lot more then that. Is there any reason they are so low paid and does that include private practice? (just curious) I agree, the disparity between them stinks,

Ahh Gryphin, yes sometimes my somewhat extrodinare mind tends to race foreward at times in opposition to my feeble attempts at typing and what the two of them come up with in the process can leave one wondering, just what the #%#%%^ I meant in the first place. However, this is not do to age, as I'm sure our esteme associate might be tempted to mention or point out , but is the association of one who dabbles in scientific research with continuous hypothisis and theories wondering around inside for contemplation behind the whys and what-nots of the universe.

(besides, its getting harder to read the small print at my age, just need stronger reading glasses)
