My apologies, but I think I'm going to have to bow out.  It's a great game but I think it deserves more of my attention then I can give at the moment.  My RL has made things a bit difficult to go at my normal pace and I don't want to hold back on the fun.  Thanks for thinking of me Urbanzorro.  Hopefully in the future, if you have another game and I the time, I'd be happy to join up.
