where did you learn to round Tomy, 39.4% rounds to 40%? you won't usually round to the highest value position. If I rounded the way you did it would be equally valid to say 70% said they like SD=GO
I would say that the difference is that your frinds don't go home with their very own copies of your boardgame after they come over to play it.
I'm not sure when the next cycle starts, but you'll be able to enter the next cycle after preordering.
I wonder how many PMs this post started. I can see some people facetiously PMing him after this to be nice to stardock.
[quote who="landisaurus" reply="19" id="2409584"]Careful, wizards might show up and throw a fit. They hold a patent on "turning a card 90 degrees" as a game mechanic, so I can only imagine what else they might try to claim.

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="19" id="2408387"]Try double edged ... it has only one blade. I do like the sword, but we are talking about this. ... most searches take "double blade" and redirect to "double edge" so its a common mistake. First time I saw/heard of such a thing was in the first Neverwinter Nights. http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/75/b/AAAAAkJNmWUAAAAAAHW8lg.jpg [/quote] You know I HAD that tho
