its amazing how bent some of you get over spending 34 cents a day on a
game... hell i loose more change then that over the course of one day...
play the game or dont play the game, nobody cares... and by the way, "shit

motto, �shit happens and we adjust� you will be going they way of the
dinosaur before too long�
'till then...
that which was Quaan
