I aquiesce; no more mention of details from the old guy. It was fun while it lasted but I'm getting a little paranoid when some of you suggest going off the deep end. I don't want to lose any of my friends.

Don't look at it as losing them....just think of it as sending them to a better place...in a most violent and disturbing manor. :twisted:

Violent, disturbing, and somewhat amusing. We also need cheese. And another homeless guy.

And Malloy.

That did cross my mind, but PROT doesn't really make a name, I like ROT, that's what all of us are doing waiting for a New Tex, we are ROTTING Away... j/k

Besides, everyone in the Republic Of Tex might not be a Person, according to Archie "There are Aliens among us everywhere man"... And PAAROT {People's And Alien's Republic Of Tex} just doesn't have a good ring to it... :wink:

I realize you've never played world of warcraft, because if you did, prot would be a recognizable term for you.

Before you launch into a long debacle about how online games suck, let me first say Yes I know, and I quit years ago. Also I care not for the comings and goings of such games anymore.

However, People's Republic means communism. Always wondered why americans crapped their pants at the mere mention of the word, however. It's a better concept than democracy, in theory. It just doesn't work in practical terms at all.

Democracy is the best practical solution to government there is to date. Won't argue that. But it's also the theory that people know what they want. And they deserve to get it good and hard.

Usually it ends up with bread and circus. But anyways!

How about the Totalitarian Wing of the Army of Tex? No, bad acronym...

I guess I just like Friendly Buddies of Tex Murphy.

I dabbled in Warcraft back in the 90s when it first appeared, don't think it was online back then... But you are right, I never got into it online...

How about we we go with The Unofficial Tex Murphy Web Site Message Board Community???

It doesn't roll off the tongue, but it has a certain Solidity about it... :D

You didn't read the whole thread, did you???

It's $3,000 per person and we would need about 4,000 to 5,000 people donating that each, to reach the 12 Million Budget needed for the game... Plus, after the game is made, to support the makers and the company behind the game, we still have to Purchase the game on top of the donation...
