the tourney is in my name, since it’s 9:24 and AC hasn’t created one yet I set it for 9:45 to give folks a chance to catch up with this thread password (caps) DOPE ---

Well, since y’all started this new game on this site, I began playing to get used to its feel and decide if I liked it. I guess I am used to it, because I placed 7th out of 1472 in today’s Freeroll $250 Added. Whee! $7.50! About $1.80 per hour… I may join you after the season is over for _ **Shield** _. ---
