I think that was a pretty big part of the diplomacy.  No one really wanted the Ninja, but no one wanted someone else to have it.  So... I personally tried to make it seem like I wanted it, but I only bid on it if I had extra cash.  The problem with the Ninja is if you use it you just gained an immediate and perminant enemy.  Guys don't get over assasinations...

LOL, yeah IL let us know when you go into production...

Great beer and pretzels game.  When we play, I try to get the max players and make sure no one is easily offended.  I recommend this game be served with large quantities of Kirin and a side of serious sh*t talking.

Great game...

Hehehe, maybe I need to make a trip to AZ some time.  No sake or sushi?

Whenever I played, we invariably would make and break alliances all the time.  Heck, we used to do that in A&A too. 

If you make it to AZ, I'm defineately up for some Sake Kirin or Sapuro or whatever, I like sushi, but I prefer to go out and have a little Japanese guy make it for me.

We generaly make and break alliances as well the more beer consumed the better the game.

That makes sense to me.

I love ghosts. If i lived in a haunted house it would be awesome, because my nature would overcome him and turn him into casper... I have no fear at all about such things because Id look at it like the adams family and get him to play checkers or something.

Get them to play axis and allies!

And some people think that some people have too much time and imagination on their hands. 

Well, the nice thing about uniforms is that the district can buy them in bulk and get huge discounts and then have families that can afford them purchase them.  This way all the children have adequate clothing to shield them from the elements.  Remember, a uniform does not mean plaid skirts and ties per se.  A uniform could be jeans, white sneakers, school t-shirt and, for cold weather, a school jacket.

Furthermore, parents could get together and exchange or sell their children's uniforms to the next student - since the style would not change, the uniforms would have lasting power.


And anyway, after school, kids would be free to wear whatever, whenever.

Exactly...

Yes, it's eastern european/russian kinda. More Russian then eastern european, but it's not as heavy as a full muscovite's russian accent.

Wow, now I have to try to read your posts with an accent, some how in my mind you sound like Pavel Chekov now...

What the hell, I'll bite:

I was born on the Ides of March of 1972, Richard Nixon was president.  Watergate was still a few months from becoming a public scandal, not that I cared, I was mostly concerned with boobies, some things don’t change.

My parents would have both still been in High School if they hadn’t dropped out already.  My dad worked at a gas station and my mother still lived at home.  They weren’t old enough to get married and when they did eventually marry they had to have parental permission.

My Parents divorced when I was five and my younger brother was three.  I stayed with my father, who remarried shortly after and I gained a stepmother and stepsister.  I lost touch with my mother for about fifteen years.  My father had two more sons with my stepmother.

When I was about eight, we hit the big time.  My dad got a job making $8/hour.  It was around this time I started to realize that we were poor.  Life is a bit rough for a family of seven with and income less than 20k even in the 80s.

I joined the National Guard and started college after High School.  I was paying my own way so it was a delicate balancing act with Job, College and Partying.  Not necessarily in that order of priority.  I moved in with a buddy from school, we’re are still friends and still play Axis and Allies.

I met my wife and got married a year later in 1996.  Being married wasn’t easy and I don’t think it ever will be.  I took in my oldest half brothers son when he was 2 months old in 1999 and found out a month later that my wife was pregnant.  So in the space of a year I went from half of a young married couple to head of my own family.  I officially adopted my son last month, he is seven now, and my daughter is six.

I have worked as Computer aided draftsman, designing fire sprinkler systems for about 8 years.  In 1994 I got the “opportunityâ€� to visit Mesopotamia for a year.  It may seem like a terrible thing, but over all I think it was a positive experience.  I got first hand experience of what is going on in the Middle East and was able to visit Great Britain for a couple weeks.
 
I’ve been back now for a few months and things are getting back to normal, other than the fact that my wife is pregnant again, I am considering a career change, looking to buy a new house, and dealing with the very real possibility of another deployment in the near future.  In other words I’m pushing through the chaos that surrounds me, situation normal.

lol, I just flew in and boy are my arms tired...

The bunnies always get blown so quickly... (playing it with my gf rite now)

Great beer and pretzels game.  When we play, I try to get the max players and make sure no one is easily offended.  I recommend this game be served with large quantities of Kirin and a side of serious ���� talking.

Great game...

I didn't get the chance to play, bu tI know more about it now.  It seems to me to be like taking Axis and allies, starting with a small country, adding a bunch of neutrals and starting with no alliances.

I am looking forward to trying it out.

That sounds like experience...

I am going to be playing my first game of Attack tomorrow.  Has anyone else played this.  It looks interesting, I will give a full report Monday.
