And I wouldn't exactly say that I didn't have anything important to due that night at work ... it's just that the computer was doing the work for me ... :D 8)

since they are the Pubes you shopuld give them the proper names and call them Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy(my personal favorite).

BTW my answer to the question is A ROSE.

the grays considered at least Jake a pube. that was what I meant.

You could always call them Spanker etal. boy do I need to have that book handy now.

when they were on the bridge, our illustrious travelers were told to give up the pube (meaning Jake), or whatshisname was going to pull the pin on his grenade and blow up the bridge. I got the impression that they didn't take him for his watch (which David Quick hadn't seen yet) but they wanted fresh blood to breed with. maybe I missed something. I don't remember all the circumstances since I haven't read the book in about 5 years. But I'm pretty sure they called Jake a Pube. You are correct that the origional Pubes were Spanker and his bunch but they still called Jake a pube.

Great map Roland, do ya reckon he will ever finish the series? The best book by far was the one (can't remember the name) focussing on Roland and his mates when they were young and in that town with the oil-rigs - been a few years for me as well :wink:

Anyway, one comment, could you spell my name right - Nestalawe - and Mac's - Mac An Ghoilla - just for a bit of nit-picking :wink:

Cheers big man, bring me my pistols...

Well, well. I didnt notice the link to the backstory earlier. It sure explaines a thing or two.

All I want to know is, Calidus, were you expecting any of this when we hooked up for the clanwar? :wink:

Just looking at the map and thinking about strategy gives me a headache.

Strategy!

Tell me about it, you can think all you want but everything will change once we know who starts where, dangnabbit, tis gonna be a strange game, and I imagine some fast learning curves...

Strategy? After studying the map, I think I will have to go with Bjorn's strategy. I think I need a drink. After 3 years without alcohol, I guess I will only need one........

I just have one word for Baron Roland:


OVERACHIEVER :thumbsup:

Goody!!!!

I get to start on the GWB. Now if only I knew where the Cradle was, I could hop on that Crazy Train and get out of Dodge.

Blaine? Where are you?
