The billion dollar bailouts for car companies and financial companies were handled so poorly. There was virtually no rules, regulations, longterm planning or checks&balances for how the money was to be spent which resulted in the greatest loss of taxpayer money. It's unfortunate but the vast majority of Congress lacks an understanding of business finances and an understanding of the average american life... thus when they make mistakes on $50 billion t

Reply to What does the "spell of making" actually MAKE? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The spell of making... aka win spell should provide other opponents an opportunity to stop the caster. Here's a few ideas: 1) Once the spell is researched it take 10 turns to cast the spell... during these 10 turns all players are notified and have a chance at stopping the caster. 2) Other spells can be casted which can tempoarily prevent the casting of this win spell. 3) Essence can be used to cancel the sp

Just one question: Typically I play LAN games with my brothers and my son(15) at my brothers house which ranges anywhere from 3 to 7 players.

First, is doesn't 'use' that much, and the word "use" is kind of trivial here, it can mean many things. Most things in Windows will happily give away their RAM usage as soon as you start up a game or such. Recent versions only use a couple hundred MBs of RAM, and you can lower that if you strip down your Windows install. The
