Hi,
Ruff_Hi Wrote:It is shaping up to be rip-snorter of a game I like the scenario as well, but I like even more that you've just taught me a new word: "rip-snorter". ![lol lol](https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif) Had to use several different dictionaries until I found an explanation for that one in Merriam-Webster... I think I know now what it means.

BTW: The term rip-snorter is Australian slang for something that is excellent, or generally very good. You may say 'that cake is a rip-snorter', or 'that was a rip-snorter of a goal'.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Hey, you snipped the interesting part: "t is also a brand of beer marketed by the Hogs Back brewery in Tongham, England. Rip-Snorter is a winter beer, it's only brewed in the winter. It's a red beer with a touch of fruitiness and a large malt flavor, which leaves a slightly bitter after taste. It's a real rip-snorter." ![lol lol](https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif) Hmmm, something to try out...
Oh, and back to topic: Game complete. Yay, I've enough time to write a proper report this time!

Game complete.
Of course when I have plenty of time to deadline, I finish quickly.
Dying to see the designer notes on this one.

Finished. Just have to remember reporting day.
Very interested to see which leaders people picked for what victories.

Woah, I also thought weeks ago: "I still have some time". Well, the clock ran off... I'm just finishing my game, so you can expect a report tommorrow.
