-Yes, there's no Orc card, but it's not a slight against you - you may have 
noticed I only made four players and Dave, out of the 30some players ever in 
this game.-

-I see. The Tap Orc ability is fairly ridiculous, unless I were to add "Any 
player may use this ability" to it, and I think the tap Glotmorf is too 
specific to leave. Also, a note for everyone: Space is LIMITED. I can fit 3 
or 4 abilities, but Orc's list there would not fit.-

-If I get a grand inspiration, I do flavor text. Given that that's only 
happened a few times, feel free to create your own or suggest someone 
else's.-

-It's disgusting how close that is to what I came up with... more on that 
when I've got the card in front of me.-
