    I thought it's the centrifugal force from "flying fast around Earth", that negates the gravitational force of the earth. Or are they in free fall?

    Damn, seems like my cynicism is no match for TSR's marketing department...

    No, you will have to log on to your EDGE-account (Enhanced Dice Game Experience, 9,95$/mo) to retrieve the info about "dice of the day". Those dice will be available in unsorted "Collector's Boxes" soon, get them all ;)

    Breaking news: New dice required to play D&D4! The old ones don't comply to GHS 2.0.4 (Gaming Hardware Standard) and can't understand the new IDRTP (Improved Dice Result Transfer Protocol) needed to confirm critical hits on good looking waitresses. Read: They don't bear the required symbols and don't have the right number of sides ;)

    That's true as long as you aren't already using the displays native resolution, getting more fps than the eye can see. Than AA is the only vital alternative to improve quality. But of course you could always buy a bigger display ;)

    Simple: You fight a war against a country which didn't sign the treaty (which is only possible during a certain time following the conference) but instead acceded it later (1956 in the case of Iraq).

    It's more like "There are 10,000 cars in this city, driving at 30 mph, so there speed is 300,000 mph!"...

    You are right that there are different ways to act in this situation. My point is, while they might get good publicity out of it, it's not a PR stunt by itself. There are economical reasons why they should ensure their competitors follow the same ethical code as they do.

    What about importance in a large, rapidly growing market? They wouldn't lose today's market share, but tomorrow's. There share will shrink if they don't develop new, especially foreign markets.

    Pulling out on it's own with it's direct competitors staying would lose them considerable market share, making their competitors stronger. No one's going to leave China without the others. Therefore the Code of Conduct.
