We find the actions of the Imperials towards the Kolarian Kazereckii acceptable, had the roles been reversed we might have done the same. The Kolars KZK made an ill timed bid for terrority/power and lost.

Funny, that's exactly what I did although Kerry chose not to put mine up last time I looked. I hope that people don't take your and modify to their hearts content. Eventually there will be so many bastardized versions that RTG will get a migraine. I've given up making the ones I did shareware as I just don't have the time to do what I wanted to do with them. However, I would still like to have some concensus opion on changes made so that we don't end up forcing RTG in to choosing one and only one form to use because of all the permutations in use.

Working together by attacking each other? How about this theory instead? That the governor of IND Never Here was upset by the presence of FET Wyvern's Spur and hired IND Atlantis to rid him of the problem. Might even be that the he and the Capt of Atlantis are related. Just which ship was posted? Atlantis or Wyvern's Spur? >>...observed an attack on the FET ship Wyvern's Spur (2576) by an IND ground party. The GP, IND Self Defense (2272), was defeated and fled. The Governor seems remarkably well informed for someone who didn't get a battle report. Just where is Never Here anyway?

Since Horst isn't in the ACCC shouldn't he cover all the ante's? Or at least bring the booze. Maybe we shoud invite Ludendorf, I thing he told me he's never played poker before. Might be a chance to get back some of those taxes nobody's paying. And how come O'Grady never shows up at these things? If he doesn't come to the next one I think we ought to sell his chair.

I'll be sure to bring you a 'Sister Mary Mother of the Iron Maiden just say no to silly buggers' Tshirt to the next game. It must be pretty difficult getting in and out of the place wearing that bulky Korondite cloak. I'll see if I can't get some of the brain boys to weave a bit of the ore into the Tshirt.

He and Pete liked the one I made but then it does look exactly like theirs. I don't consider myself to be an expert at using Word nor could even begin to call myself a programmer. I left the form unprotected to encourage people to improve it. I was thinking about getting the software from Microsoft to write macros to allow the forms to be filled out automatically. I'm going to wait though. MS is going to release Office 95 in August after Win'95. When I upgrade I'll automate my the form 100%.
