There also used to be a revolver and a flask on the shelf below the desk, but since there are many underaged players they removed them.

Really? Instead the young players who are apparently so influenced by the sight of a cartoon revolver that needs removing, can fly around witg cannons and banks of .50's, and even a .45 if they like? Seems wierd :headscratch:

Seriously, can you see the cannons? I can't tell a pitot tube from a cannon by just its looks... Caliber is just numbers, actually only partial numbers. You can't harm anyone with a partial number, can you? Perhaps it was just the hip flask...

What are the odds that a confused teenager will come to school with a P-51 and start strifing everyone?
Now replace P-51 in the above sentence with a pistol.


I still think it is silly though. It is like beeping the F word on TV, but it is OK to show it as long as you dont get to see the tip of the nipple and the sausage.

For safety reasons, of course. They might have got virtually drunk.  :rock

There used to be a night time in this game too. But it was quite annoying if you lived in certain timezones and had to fight blindfolded.

  Why doesn't the clock match real time? It seems off. At 12:00 the clock should be at the top of the hour no matter the time zone.  :headscratch:


Somewhere in the world. It dose match real time. Just not where you are at

It's always entertaining when a typo fits so well.

I like the arguements people have over having sex or violence on TV, given a choice how would you rather be killed ?
