Wow, amusing answers, some surprises, and well done everybody -- a round of applause for all who participated!

*extends hands, turns slowly to face all of audience*



Quite a community we have here, ladies and gentlemen...





PS: What was the final decision re. the "extra" mentioned in #20 (" What non-electronic games are discussed by RW members?") I'm wondering cuz although I forgot poker (d'oh! Stupid, stupid!) I did find mention of both BattleTech and MechWarrior -- oh wait they're the same game aren't they? :-P





And a nice trick with the DNS hosting answers -- a quick WHOIS.net lookup woulda been all that was needed, I take it  :roll:

[Melbosa]

You got those points DD.

BattleTech and MechWarrior -- oh wait they're the same game aren't they?

No. they. are. not.



That's like saying paper-n-pencil D&D and the D&D card games are the same.  BattleTech is a tactical board game.  MechWarrior is a full-on role-playing game based on the BattleTech universe.  BattleTech has Mechs (and if you get the expansions, tanks, planes, flamer units, and some infantry).  In MechWarrior it is conceivable that you spend the entire campaign just hunting down political enemies and spying on them, with no vehicles involved.



Wait, why did that bother me so?  :shock:

Um, because you (like most of us) take pride in the fact that we are uber-geeks?



I doubt any of us have crossed any way-too-geeky line, like say spending your free time to email "MILF" webmasters and tell them they are missing the "T".

[Mr. Analog]

YOU'RE WINNER!



[INSERT TIRED LOOKING BUNNY-GIRL PICTURE HERE]



My prize wagon will be rolling by each of you during this week to dole out fabulous prizes which will paralyze your brain with unmitigated pleasures (from beyond THE dome).



Shayne, I may show up at your house, creeping silently, to drop yer prize off (unless you want meet for beers or summin')



Silver Sufer I have a PRIZE PAK for you too, this might require a trip to Warp however... so like if you're going today or Saturday gimmie a dingle.

[Shayne]

Going for brews on Friday sounds like a good idea, anyone else up for such a thing?

[Mr. Analog]

Friday no can do, I was thinking tonight.

[Shayne]

HaHa...im gonna pull a "Trudel" here and say that i have a WoW Raid planned  Oh well, you know my apartment number if you wanna swing by.

[Mr. Analog]

Will do, remember; if you solo the "Flesh Golem" too many times you go blind...

[The Silver Surfer]
