Yes. EDIT: Yes to the teleportation question, not the soul question.

I haven't thought about it actually. Are they on sale? If you're interested in going and want someone to go with, let me know.

Oh, to clarify, by "new CBA," I meant the upcoming one. Because the current one won't allow it.

I don't know. The 3 of us have a hard enough time squeezing in time for HOI2. THough a game like this probably doesn't require a 3-4 hour window to play.

Because it's their gimmick. Just because you bought it hook, line, and sinker, doesn't make them alt accounts. I play multiplayer games with them. A "very valid view" of them? You're starting to sound like a broken record with this statement. Heh, whatever. I thought you liked threads evolving in their natural way. " For the record, boo alt accounts. Now I have to update my ignore list.

You mean eager!

Not at all. They aren't alts in any way shape or form, because they are completely different people. Posting asinine statements like "Close enough for government work" (which doesn't even really make sense in this case) is just pointless. However, the 6 Foot Invisible Rabbit is being posted by the same person as Judge Hades. (Coincidentally, it's also a way to, at least temporarily, by pass the ignore setting people may have put on your other account). For the record, I'm 100% against alternate accounts. I hated it when Ender used them, and I actually liked Ender. Not to mention a host of other absolutely bizarre stuff that happened because of an alternate account. They really don't serve any other purpose outside of possibly being deceitful. If someone wishes a new account for whatever reason, then there's no need for them to hold on to their previous one.

It's not "entirely" potential. Yes, you don't know necessarily how someone is going to perform in the NHL, and for the most part it is still potential. But it's not really a stretch that a player like Sidney Crosby is probably going to have a more successful career than Sven Butenschon. Then he's going to have to hope that the new CBA allows for contract renegotiations.

I'm curious about a contract like this. I mean, Magic Johnson signed a 25 year, $25 million contract when he first came into the NBA in 1980. Wayne Gretzky signed a 21 year contract as well. Clearly in both of these cases they weren't committed to the contract for those extreme lengths of time.

Well, the weapons are essentially home made.

That seemed kind of uncalled for.

I heard it was in the works, but I didn't know the details. The newspaper commented that when both teams tendered their offers, there was only a $250,000 difference, so it seems like things are on the same page.

Not at all. They don't even live in the same country.

I guarantee that Llyr and Nick are NOT alts.

Not really. Entry level contracts are capped in the 900k region. The only way they can make good money is if they cash in on the bonuses, which means that have to do more than squat in the NHL.

I'm curious how a different president would do. I have heard people criticize Bush for not having just cause (i.e. the WMDs) for attacking Iraq, yet they forget that Clinton (under the same guise, suspected WMDs with intelligence being less than accurate) did the same thing.

Bashing Bush seems to be the trendy, fashionable thing to do now-a-days.

If it weren't for the pesky English/French to the west, and the Russians to the East! Conquer Norway, and all will be good! A neat thing about the game is that it's possible to have random events give you core provinces.

I'm trying to remember if Finland even exists. Though a neat feature of the game is that apparently you can start at ANY year between the start and the end, with the world being in the correct situation for that year.

You know, in both cases where you are talking about hockey, you haven't actually gotten the name right " You no doubt are talking about NHL 07 and NHL 2k7.

You envy someone for not playing a good game??

The EU games are a lot more open ended than DD, so that may be something that appeals to you.

Was there a Magic-esque superhero card game?

In my (limited) experience, it tends to be a lot of searching and graph theory. It tends to be computationally expensive though, so you'll tend to implement a heuristic to hopefully speed things up.
