I should make it clear at this point that I trust Silver to run a good honest 
game. But if you do need someone to stop people complaining Mac is an excellant 
choice.

I'd be play in the USO, but between Chess, trying to talk Sanders into running 
BOTS 2, working on a magazine article, etc., etc., something had to give 
<GRIN>.

> As REV said I have people I trust MAC is an excellent candidate. To tell you 
the truth I shouldnt have to do this, fact of the matter some people here are 
trying to cut me down before the game has even run. But I suppose thats how the 
world works at times huh? Oh well, yes a third party will look at it to be sure 
everything is in order. I am really trying to make everyone comfortable besides 
their endless bitching.

of whom have lots of experience, and run good, honest games.
