Gengsta:
Although you said my song was okay, I have doubts about it's worthiness. I tried to imagine your plot development as it would unfold so my song would fit in. I think I needed to be more general, creative, and melodic, and so I pass on the challenge of song writing to anyone who wants to try to write a rally song to use instead of mine in WofW.
Don't worry my ego's not that fragile. 
But use it if you like, Gengsta.

Hey, gang.
Sorry about being gone for a few days. Wife and baby are sick and I'm as busy as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
I did manage to submit a couple of games over the weekend, but we'll see what happens this week.
BTW, when I left Friday, we were 70K behind GROSS...how did we make such an astounding comeback??

Hope everyone's well now, Barry. Else what you will get from me is a kick in the butt back to your family.
We had a couple of new members who really helped our score. And I believe Nastavnik would also be joining us shortly. He said he would join after he had lunch and that was about 2 hrs ago. Hmm, maybe I should go work in France.

Wife's feeling a little better...she went back to work today. Baby still has a little fever, but she is smiling, so what else can I ask for??
Thanks for asking, by the way!
Welcome to all new members of Fellowship (and those who are joining soon!)

I have a 7 month old daughter too. Really cute and chubby.
Have fun catching up on the posts you missed in the forum. We have all our usual spills and thrills. And BTW, J4's back so you may want to recruit him as our website reporter.

Welcome to the fold, Nastavnik! You are really the definition of multi-cultural! Brazilian married to a Russian and live in France!
I understand the problem of getting on the net at work. I'm a designer, but I spend waaaayy to much time here instead of designing!

Gengsta, here's a song from Metallica, one of my favorite bands. I think you could use it; just give credit to Metallica for the Lyrics. 
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on the run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of Five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look at the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Edit: got names mixed up

Welcome Nastavnik!
Talk about coincidences in life. The Fellowship was 30 points short of 900,000 pts and your pre-1.05 scores of 62 just tipped us over. You made a valuable contribution.
Seriously, we value your contribution in the forum and empire. Feel free to join in our discussions and pose questions. Most importantly, have fun with the game.

Gengsta,
The WOTW is awesome! I hope nobody minds me not contributing to that story, but I think my efforts would not be worthy...

Hi Miles Naismit, your mettalica song just remembered me of another "for whom the bell tolls". I've discovered this one in the movie, from Hemingway's book.
It does not rock and roll like yours, but when you see all what is happening out there, it's good to remember it:
For Whom the Bell Tolls
by John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
Usually I don't go around quoting John Donne, but this one is special.

And a big welcome to Freya as well.
Freya started playing Galciv even before myself. Hey and you too Nastavnik, your player id is 581. Wow, you are the earliest among us to buy the game I believe.
Freya apparently fancies himself as another Gandalf so another wizard joins the Fellowship.

Nastavnik,
We role-play as fantasy characters in the Fellowship. Do you have a favourite RPG class? Miles is obviously a bard.

Excellent association, I bet you know your poetry well. I on the other hand am a neophyte, but I keep working at it: music being closely related to poetry.

Quoting the Metallica Lyrics but I messed up, the line should read:
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey.
oops...

Interesting comment, Nastavnik. Welcome to the Fellowship.

Hehehe...I've been at work for 2 1/2 hours and haven't done the first thing!
