Thank you for the genuine and honest statement, Brad. As someone who was subject to very secretive layoffs from an otherwise small tightknit company during the tech bust, I find your forthrightness enduring.
Blistering Sands?
I just married two in to my dynasty. They have insane stats. One has 675 hp, 8671 defense, 1458 attack, 119 sight, 67 combat speed, etc... It has ruined my game, to be honest.
Frogboy did a great job tonight. Bravo. And I love this tidbit he posted: http://www.screencast.com/users/draginol/folders/Jing/media/6833bd83-a761-4a43-9af0-9ffbf18c8fcc

It is going to take a lot of discipline to peel myself away to go to bed on time. I can't afford to be late! my job requires me to start getting ready at 2:30 am--wonder if I'll be getting more than an hour or two of sleep tonight [/quote]<
