Argg.  It is supposed to be a restatement of fact, as Lord Gregarian ruled 
on the CFI.  With you and Rob and Glotmorf and whoever else complaing 
though, I'll take it out.

I think that this is a cbange that is needed, but fine.

This part is about making the game functional again.  I know that the values 
we have are probably messed up (I'm pretty sure I should get the Supreme 
Kicker of Asses - twice for Greg, once for bd), but even though I'm at the 
bottom, I can live with them until someone wins.

According to the latest CFI rulings, neither of you won.  Although Baron 
came darn close.

E changed eir name before the end of the nweek, I believe.  And it's less 
confusing.  Plus, you were also "Wonko May Not Vote" at one point.  But I'll 
change it if enough people want it changed.

after 6 or 7 times of having this pointed out publicly and privately, I 
think I'll change it.

I just want to be extra sure.

Orc In A Spacesuit
Will be putting out a revised version soon.
