One more thing before I shut up and let everyone introduce themselves... I am proud to say that I have assembled a VERY diverse group of players. Myself (AfrAm...
It's funny you mention Tim McVey. I used him in reply to that person, noting that their particular test would not stop him, nor any other terrorist (a...

I have a much less optimistic perspective. I see elves as 'Aryans' - Hitler's perfect man. They are tall, blond, beautiful, and better - and the original men....
