[momuuu]

A developer that plays dutch notably. I only have one question: how can you enjoy a calzone if in the end you'll attempt to eat it while its still too hot and thus burn your mouth so badly that you cant actually taste the rest of it?

Really thick bread and ungodly amounts of meat usually the bring down the heat. There's no point in eating a calzone if I don't feel slightly guilty about eating it after.

Hello everyone, I’m a long time lurker & will probably continue to lurk, but thought that it was about time to actually create an account and say hello. I’m horrible at posting on a frequent basis, but I’m going to try to become more involved. I don’t want this community to die out since I’ve learned a lot from so many of you, and not just in regards to the game. There are several highly intelligent people on here, and even though I may not agree with some viewpoints, I’m glad that there’s at least thought put into them.

I’m not super great since I play off and on. I am easily addicted to games so I have to force myself to stop – feast or famine for me. I tend to play horribly when it comes to multiplayer, but am quite good against the computer, which is apparently typical. I’ve probably played around 30 games online, but haven’t played in several months so I’m not sure what my rank is – probably still a conscript :-).

Cool, I wonder how many so called lurkers there actually are. At least it's good to hear you're enjoying the forums.

Definitely not alone, but I think that many are still lurking/don't post much. I know there are a couple other women who are frequent posters, but not a lot.

BTW, I am shamelessly addicted to your stream. I don't play treaty, but you make it seem like a lot of fun!
