I have no idea what that actually means, but it sounds impressive. :hehe:

It's an empire building game on Facebook, two entities which should send a shudder down any sentient being's spine.

I clicked on it one day out of curiosity, followed a few little instructions to see what it was like, built a wee house and a shop and moved about 8 people in...BANG!!! It's like crack cocaine; I'm totally hooked.

My little camp settlement is now a city of 371,849 people. I've completed 665 missions, gained 36 new allies. I currently have 1.7 million coins in the bank and my city boasts wee things like...oh...the Taj Mahal, the Angkor Wat, a Tesla Coil, the Empires State Building, the Colossus of Rhodes, a Coca Cola factory, several pubs, police stations, opera houses, dams, irrigation systems.

I can't fucking stop. :cry:

Listen, I've overcome an addiction* to Alpha Centauri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier% ... a_Centauri), so I know where you're coming from. :pardon:

*Like any addiction, one never really gets rid of it. But I've been clean for months now ... :ddpan:

*shrug*

I've found ways to make a 24-hour long Western RPG even longer.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."
