ORIGINAL: Mynok


Samantha was a wild cat we took in when I was around 10. She was pregnant and had a litter of four in our house. She disappeared one day as I recall. I've never let my cats be indoor/outdoor again.

Serena, Samantha's daughter, used to ride around on my shoulder. She was a beautiful calico who couldn't purr because of a neck injury sustained as a kitten.

Aruba was a wild cat given to my by my sister-in-law because she couldn't handle her. We had to give her up when we moved unfortunately. She became a very affectionate and playful creature.

Worf was a huge black tom who was the sweetest and dumbest cat I've ever had. Buried in our backyard.

Fox was another wild one we picked up. Strong as a ox and a real beast to get to the vet. But also a sucker for a good ear scratch.

Mim (The Marvelous Mad Madam Mim) is our current girl. She still greets me at the door when I get home. Getting a bit testy in her old age.

Dmitri is our rescue cat. Took almost a year and a half for him to trust us. Now he's the cuddliest old boy imaginable. And big...he's part Maine coon.
Beautiful cats, Mynok.

SL, COI, COD & GI plus some 12 extra maps that I lent to a former friend.

I still have them in my garage.
So he sold them to you?!? [X(][;)]

Just reflecting on all the great THREAD regulars with a June birthday. Quite the honor roll of sophisticated, intelligent and generally irretrievable incredibleness. Yes siree....[;)]

Ok, ok. You don't have it posted on your profile. Which day in June is your birthday? [:D]
Why, funny you should ask, Mike. That would be today. [8D]
Happy Birthday Andre! Hope it was a good one!

The new "Japan" identity is out. He calls himself "pleasebegentle" and is trying to build up credibility by undermining his previous identity. Sneaky (or so he thinks)...
I *Really* have to check the Opponents Wanted thread when I'm done here. Seems that I've missed something. [:'(]

Our Doggy is called Dixie, and she is cute, but not as good looking as Mrs DivePac (that one will be worth a new game!). [:'(]

...... rainy misty day......
Warspite1

Yep, its going to be rainy over here to. Should have forecast that one, after all its my children's school fete today [8|]. Turned really cold last night too - what's that all about?

Cold here too, but then it is winter... Raining in the valleys, and snowing on the tops. but not sure as we can't see the tops, because of the mist.

Sort of... There are torpedo attack roll modifiers from -1 to +2, and you start out with -1. You can spend political influence and prestige to improve them.

-1?!?! To start with? You've got it easy young fella-me-lad. You've also sunk a few major warships, I'm just about to end 1942 in Silent War, the chance of sinking any of their big ships is poor even with a Gato boat [:(]

So I guess I shouldn't mention that I can't actually lose the game for not meeting tonnage targets?[:'(]
