Subj : Re: hey To : All From : Animal Date : Wed Jan 08 2003 02:07 pm was like the first couple or three months >From a message by Silver Dragon about Re: hey: > Thank You cherokee, Like I said I think he played the first week I ever ran a server if he did this is what happened, I refilled terra with collies when it ran dry in a high turn game, my bad the only other thing I can remember was my second game when I tried to do some edits and totally messed up the planets lol, the top fig producer made 1 fig for every 500 collies lol. So I repaired the error the second day without a rebang. Oh yes now I remember the game he is talking about a rebang had to do with aliens that ran rampant. Shrug all in the first week as sysop since then he hasnt been back and thats fine, but to judge my whole career on my first week is unfair.
