(1) - Voland was a myth. If any supernatural being tried to visit Moscow He had to put 6 different identity paper through my department, 6 copies each. It will be checked by 6 of my clercks after. I've reread my archives from 1929 through 1940 and no Voland registered.
(2) - All of His circle seems pretty unrealistic. Koroviev, Gella, Azazello... and Behemoth (can you imagine a cat tried to pay a ticket in public transportation, comrade? I can't, and our department discussed this matter with every last one of checktakers who works the tram in Moscow any day since 1917).
(3) - We are atheists. We don't believe in God. Or Devil (Dolor supervivo caro. Dolor sublimus caro. Dolor ignio animus... As it ever was).
(4) - All events described in that book was a fiction or mass halucinations, as last chapter tells you.
(5) - Obviously, I have too much time to post some nonsense here.
(6) - Wanna reread this book now, damn.
And I nope'd out of that thread pretty quickly.
Yossarian: I especially recommend Seven's first link. Their PBEM23 thread was one of the most educational threads around here for me personally. It actually kinda got me back into civ when I took a break. Anyway, my natural feel for openings is always a little iffy. I'll try some sim variations if I get some time later today.
