Perhaps it needs to be plugged in the very first time it's connected, but we've released the IP, deleted the winsock keys, and uninstalled/reinstalled TCP/IP on many machines and have had no problems turning on the firewall. Not sure what we're doing different.

The windows XP firewall keeps out a lot of stuff, and it's very easy to set up. Maybe we should start small with that.
Either the Catholic religion is hard up for followers or they're getting a good head start on dominating the religion of AI for the future. Think of the possibilities. Flawless sermons, 24 hour priest support. Will we someday be choosing our computers based on who and how they worship... or don't worship?
ALL VIOLENT GAMES ARE SPAWNS OF SATAN AND SHOULD BE BANNED! THEY ARE THE CAUSE OF ALL THAT IS BAD IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY! Wait... this isn't alt.crazies.placeblame, is it?

So you are saying that they couldn't program enough depth in the game
Maybe they came up with a novel idea to put depth into the story and not just stop there.
