I have found the main draw of this game is the comradrie. Older players generally will drop what they are doing to help a new player. And occasionally will "adopt" them. Helping them with advice as well as taking them "hunting" to raise through the levels.<br />Just something that might help you see GS IV through another perspective.<br />Thank you for listening.EEPsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196791755455602619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134273408102615046.post-44366050285328969212024-01-08T06:23:22.127-05:002024-01-08T06:23:22.127-05:00I love that you are using a clamshell iBook as you...I love that you are using a clamshell iBook as your main driver.

Thank you so much for such a glowing review! When I loosed this thing upon the world, I thought at _most_ there'd be a raised eyebrow or two over some of the more "heretical" ideas it contains. It means a great deal to me that you not only found dB/dX interesting to read (even with no artwork in sight!) but actually fun to play with.

I am a history major and social studies educator, it really offends my sensibilities when the basics are left out. <br /><br />I'm gonna try real hard not to hand out five stars for just the name, a derivation of dx/dt. That in and of itself is hysterical and more than a epic. I really love the title. I have to stop now, because I don't want a review in the comments section... no one will see it.
