    I realize that making up meanings for words is all the rage with the kids these days. That doesn't mean I have to like it. Hype is what marketing weenies do -- they run commercials and get talking heads like Jeffrey Lyons or local station KZTV in Poughkeepsie to gush about their films so that they can quote it over and over again. It has nothing to do with discussions between fans on a subject they enjoy.

    For myself, Tolkien's works have been my foremost literary interest for nearly 20 years, ever since I encountered them in junior high. His works are the only area where I consider myself a scholar, and I am unashamedly passionate about them. I take exception to having my conversations about the topic being called "hype".

    Truly, you are entitled to your opinion and if you feel you are seeing too much about the movies, feel free to express that. However, take care that you do not confuse that with mere attacks against those who do enjoy the books and the movies, for that is no more appropriate than it would be to attack Axe for "hyping" CMAK.

    OOh hit a sensitive nerve there...

    Dave H you lazy maggot, where is my PBEM i've been waiting for at least two days, TWO WHOLE DAMN DAYS . This will be remembered, and WILL give more satisfaction when your puny tanklets brew up. HA

    Stikkypixie, young maggots like you should be seen (rarely), but not heard (ever)!

    Actually, I checked my PBEM folder last night and the last move I found was 007, which I sent to you! If you sent me another move, I've either deleted it or ignored it - both of which seem completely appropriate. But if you've actually replied, could you try sending it again? I'm looking forward to firing all of my AP ammunition before your tanks spot me.

    Time to change my sig line. So long again

    Dear Dave_H (i say dear i mean maggotlike)

    Maybe it's your age but i checked my mailbox and no 007. Maybe the the world's most famous secret agent has disguised himself, but with old and demented maggots like yourself it is more probable that that you never sent it to me.

    From russia with love

  3. I think cornstarch will help that. It will be at least 8 more hours before I can see what your Russo/British tankers are up to. Patience, young maggot!

    So Mike, when should I look for an e-mail? Tomorrow? Yesterday? In the spring? That pesky time difference really throws me. I think we should all adopt GMT as the standard, and if that means the sun is out from 9 PM to 9 AM, we'll get used to it.

    Yes the time difference is really disorientating and if you add some alcohol to it, no telling what the effect will be. TGIF my friend TGIF...
  4. Ok i have heard about this monster of a scenario, but i thought it was all exagerated, i thought my system could handle it, because it had quite some muscle (not like Arnold but still), i thought...

    Oh the foolishness of youth!

    It would probably crash those computer thingies on the enterprise or something :eek: .

    My question is this? Who or what playtested this thing????? Has anyone überhaupt ever manage to play it?????
