    1) rot13 is valid. 2) Double encryption is better than single encryption. 3) Therefore, rot13(rot13) is not only valid, but superior. 4) rot13(rot13) is equivalent to rot26. 5) rot26 is valid, and also more secure than rot13.

    Possesives DO have an apostrophe.
    "Its" just happens to be an exception, like His and Hers.
    "Sarah's shop" Or "Sunday's events" are grammatically correct usages of the apostrophe.

    I actually posted this elsewhere, but it fits better here.(hopes nothing horrible will happen 'cos of this) Unless I very much misunderstand how mythic's gameing system is done (which is highly possible) the chracters are probably some kind of object of class Character, and all the wonderous abilities of your character are dependant on what flags are tagged, and what aren't. It's like a filling in the character sheet at the end of a (sorry, first one that came to mind) Dungeons and Dragons players handbook. You might be able to claim the specific arrangement of stats, feats, equip etc. were your Intelectual property, after all, you DID think of doing it in exactly that manner, working out what you felt would work best, but the actual sheet itself would belong to whoever owned the book. Same with your character in this game. The book is the server, the pen is an incredibly elaborate gaming system. You could possibly sue someone who had created a character exactly like yours, but when you get down to it, it's Mythics book.

    Here's an idea.. Maybe they make them unsuitable for casual gamers because they don;t WANT casual gamers. RPG stand for Role Playing Game. Exactly how much of a role are you going to build up if you only play for about 2 hours ever?

    The point of baseball cards is to trade and sell them. Hence, "Trading Cards"
    And with Baseball cards, and magic, if someone buys a full, super-dee-duper I will crush you feeble mortals deck but doesn;t know how to play, he will still be beaten. Plus, no-one will play with you. With online games there's nothing to stop that psychopathic level 40 twink with the Sword of Crush Newbie following you around all day hacking ofF limbs and kill stealing from you because he didn;t like the way you emoted at him.

    I used to belong to this MUD, great fun, yadda yadda, then the owner gave it to someone else. The new owner gave all his friends level 250 superhero remort characters, even though they'd never played before. Guess what happened? In the end, everyone got so sick of them, and of the guy for not getting rid of them, that everyone left and the mud was left to him, his friends, and the occasional browsing newbie who never stayed long. *sigh* I miss that MUD...

    Query: What exactly IS the limit you can put in a TOS? Is there a legality limiting the kind of things they can ask for? If you reread a TOS of a game you just installed and discovered that the company now owned your house, would you have to move?
