I'm partnering with Laura Ferguson and Karl Smythe. They don't know it yet but it will be fine with them, I'm sure. :-D

Syndicates will be a significant problem, unless their goal was to really narrow down the ## of players that have even the slimmest of chances in this game.

I think a good help for the new players, increase, your ticket bonus, since the horses of AJ, previously were in 1k, and now it is 10k

I think of 100k, it should be 250k, then 175k, 125k, and the last 100k bonus.

since most of the players, could form their stables, with horses of AJ.

the idea of a syndicate, was 10 years ago, that proposal, which has been her, or died on the way?

Of course this has nothing to do with what the year 50 brings, but since they played the issue, of help, to players, I think it would be good to increase their allowance :P

Pete, What a great find. This was the SIM at its worst and best. At the time it was a great upheaval with emotions stripped raw. My personally perceived involvement may have been greater or lesser than I thought but I was part of this hugely disruptive event. Seeing the names of all the former and current players is quite nostalgic and I almost look back at that situation misty eyed. I will resurrect my phrase from back then. Arewehavingfunyet? In the SIM, all the time.

wow with reading the words of Mr. Maidlow, it is clear that they were difficult times, and Red Hot

I do not imagine what were the reasons, of this war, since this type of events, only manifest in a style of war.

I think that the dialogue, and give an opinion, is better to solve, some kind of situation, that deserves changes, that help all the participants

I think it's easy, create the suggestion box

the tradition (I think, I think, maybe we should, I think it would be better, etc etc etc) :P
