Upsetting Greg is quite easy, from what I've seen<g>.

Yes, quite, that's all an advert ever is! I don't see what's wrong with it
myself. There are adverts on here every day from people running games,
so what if some of us scrape a few pennies out of it at the same time? The
days of Internet being non-commercial are effectively dead anyway. How
does it hurt anyone to have a few promotional messages for commercial
games on here? What's there to get offended about?? (I don't know why
you made the above comment, I may be wrong in presuming somebody
had a whinge about commercial PBM again?).

I'd like to try two free turns in your game. I should declare that I also run a
soccer game though, so you can reject my enquiry if you like. I just
happen to enjoy playing them as well! We've been running our game
(Phoenix Rising) for six years professionally, four years before that
amateur. Your game isn't one I've heard of - but I expect you've never heard
of mine either!

I'm certainly not looking for ideas to pinch as our game has been stable for
a long time, so our players wouldn't like it if we made lots of changes.

We're not into the email side of things yet, but it's being programmed as I
write.
