    I’m almost afraid to ask what happens when or if “the game” ends…

    I never thought I would be listed among such great accomplices…I must say I don’t think I feel comfortable playing with the New Agers…They tend to get a little wild. ;) I kind of want to see who the winner is gonna be, perhaps we can make a wager? But then sInce there is no object to the game, I declare myself the winner! And you too for creating such an important game. I do think it has been around for a while though, maybe you should see who has the trademark, perhaps there are royalties involved. Those damn billionaires!

  8. The Necromancer Says:

    BS: All-in??

    enreal: Yeah…damn billionaires. Wild New Agers, too. And you really have to watch out for the wild New Age billionaires. They’re trouble. ;)

  9. Bunk Strutts Says:

    Yeah, I’m all in. I want to be a billionaire industrialist so I can provide employment for thousands, although I’m running out of time to achieve that lofty goal.

    BS: I say your heart is in the right place. May you “double-up” and prosper. Now please roll again…
