Well, we DM bash because we put so much money into it only to find out the
company didn't give a shit about improving the game.  Sure the game is fun when
you first start.  Most games are because you know nothing about them.  There
are not many people who have left DM with good feelings about the game and
company.  By bashing DM and praising AG we hope to get you to play AG instead
of DM.  All our years of experience in DM tell us that the majority of people
would enjoy AG more.

I usually don't say anyhting about the roll-ups posted since I am not very
interested.  I do look and see what people think.  Every once in a while I
might post a suggestion.  As Mike will tell you, I would run roll-ups that he
would have sent to the DA.

I would like to see all the people who play DM give AG a try also.  That way
they can compare the games and decide which they would prefer at this time.  I
say that since almost everyone I know from DM eventually got to a point where
they disliked DM.  I had fun in DM most of the time, and I am sure you will
also.  The insults, spotlights, and challenges are a lot of fun and I wish you
good luck.  Just remember that there is always AG...
