Please welcome Gukumatz as our newest SDMB moderator. He will be holding forth in The Game Room. (Invisible Wombat will be covering MPSIMS now.) Our thanks to Gukumatz for stepping up. ---

Strapped to the back of three pounds of semtex, hand delivered by the trusty “brick through window” method. Sore loser, moi? Perish the thought. (And SIM-money doesn’t buy beer. I should know. _sigh_) ---

I did remember to send you the official procedures for moderating the Game Room, didn’t I? Just in case… 1. Make a macro to add “[Game Over]” to the end of thread titles 2. No matter what the game is, _somebody_ takes it too seriously. And sometimes, that’s me. 😉 3. When a thread reaches 4,000 posts and 40,000 views, someone will suggest spinning off a new thread, and someone else will say “80 pages? Back in my day, we let threads get _hundreds_ of pages long!” 4. That thing with **leander** and **Q.E.D.** doesn’t count as a game. 5. Have fun! ---
