-Clearly, Wonko, you have no grasp of reading between the lines. What I actually said was "It's really boring, but if you join, it'll get a lot more interesting, because we won't be aimlessly meandering about, there will be stuff happening suddenly. Right now, it's like a party with no chicks or booze, and someone just found a Parcheesi board and has a thoughtful look in their eye. Join the game. Don't make us play Parcheesi." I mean, really. That should have been /obvious./-

-...Side effects of joining may include headaches, stiff joints, abdominal pain, nosebleeds, a perpetual funny taste in your mouth, random appendages falling asleep, that dream where you have to give a speech but you're not wearing pants, nose hair, halitosis, baldness, impotence, spontaneous combustion, and squirrel attacks. Tunnelers is not for everyone. Consult your doctor to see if Tunnelers is right for you.-
