	Argh! I soooo don't need an additional time-black hole.

	But I must say, the game is very shiny.

	Oh, and I'm the Yenzian Alliance, if you can find me. :-)

	Very, very cool. It's doubly exciting for me, considering that they are 
pretty much using the same technologies that I'm pushing at $workplace. 
Seeing them making it work for the kind of scale required for MMORPGS 
makes me even more... confident about the validity of my long-term 
world-domination plans. :-)

	Sounds like a cross between Texans and the Tusken (sp?) Raiders from 
Star Wars.  Not a very good sign for a peaceful civilization to trade 
with. :-)

Joy,
