If i were to describe this game as a, say, basketball game, I'd say that the ball has 'dropped' like in the 25th Annual Mercy Hospital Geriatrics League
Well, nobody's perfect

Cash on delivery? You mean the postman takes the money? Holy ****! We have to go to the post office to get our packages. And there we pay for it to get it in advance, naturally.

Yeah, I imagine that about half of the American population has never been to the post office at all. For the most part companies like UPS or Fedex ship things overnight right to your doorstep. Depending on the protocol you either have to sign for them or they just drop them there.

Do you Finns have Anti-spam for snail-mail? My Danish friend told me that they simply tell the postman 'Hey, no catalogues and spam, ok!' and they don't get it. Here in the states you get everything, a total waste of paper. I swear, if we Americans thought of a new way to throw resources into the waste-bin, we'd be selling it to each other like Big macs....'Hey, did you get that new 'Air Gobbler?' ...'No, what's that?' ....' Oh, for only 19.95 dolars, it takes some perfectly good air and chews the hell out of it, making a big cloud of smog! Only problem is, it pollutes the water (ah the irony) when you have to change the smog cartridge'....'Oh, Cooooool! I'm going out to get one right now!'.

[SmartFart]

This is so embarassing. I guess I should use my 2nd adress to send files. Smack...did you get it this time?

[Avenoct]

Got a good file from both adresses..

2106- Kass..now we roll

Well, other than only starting with one colony pod, things look good for the greenies...no landmarks or specials really, just good solid Chiron terrain

2106 to Vytae

A scary fungus field out north of my two bases, some nice sea squares near The Hive, enough green land... Looks like my social experiments are going to be continued further on.

And the view from the top floor of The Hive's HQ is absolutely amazing.

In Finland we can report to this organisation which involves nearly all magazine companies. So, no phone harassment at Finland. But against commercials there's just the possibility of a "No advertisements etc. please" sign on the door/mailbox. That helps only with "paper boys", guys who deal adds on private business. The state post can't bother about the signs, the companies have paid for it.
Hence, junk-mail is as hectic here as in the US.

It's kinda ********* that here, where there can be in worst situations over 100 kilometres to the nearest Post Office, we have to make the trip.
