Nope, I'm suspicious. What happens when you want to patch, or upgrade? Let's say the last chapter has the hero riding off somewhere, instead of finishing the story properly - well, you might have to buy a whole OTHER book to find out what happens! Let's see...no patch possible, no virus protection, no interactive video or soundtrack....and how the hell do you pirate it?! Nah...it'll never catch on...

[quote]Repeat after me: RB is not a cult, RB is not a cult...[/quote] Hehe... I'd agree about Morrowind - reading your thoughts reminds me I should go back and give it another go.

I thought you were the only Aussie in the bunch, Smegged! Mmm...blasted Indians (and for our American viewers, they're the ones from the sub-continent, not the ones on reservations ;) ) but they deserved the win (Brett Lee 1-83 off 10 overs!!!).

[quote]I’m sure I missed the initial debate while I was gone[/quote] Indeed you did: a long and sometimes heated debate ;) which seemed to rest on two points: 1. Having an exponential scoring curve (with maso rated much higher that lower levels), rather than a more linear curve. 2. Applying a modifier to the type of victory - at present mil=1.0x, all the way down to cult=0.5x. I'm not going to re-present my own view; suffice it to say that none of the debate
