  98: Discussion of lead ban in NYC

Well, this might be as good a place as any other sub-board. That
ruling has already been posted in full twice on Illuminati, but
one of them is in #70, current events, which is basically devoted right
now to flame wars about situational ethics and ammo consumption.
I'll go over to 70 and tell people to look for further news here.

  99: Missile Gev's

I like the MSL-GEV. It is a unit that is is both fast and effective in combat. 
For those of you who think it is to powerful, just remember that the only 
thing it has over the MSL-Tank is speed, all the rest of the stats are the 
same. The problem I can see with this unit is cost. Since all you are buying 
is speed I think the cost should go down to about4 points. You really need to 
use this unit against an Ogre to apreciate it, and since I have been playing 
Ogre since it was called a Micro game I like this unit a lot.  About the HVY 
MSL TANK. It is a good idea but mobile HWZRS are cheaper and have a better 
attack strength and they don't have to worry about running out of ammo. And 
besides you might as well by two Cruise Msl Crawlers. Thats about it from me. 
So just remember when you see that Ogre comming over the hill, make sure your 
will is up to date.


 100: GEVs VS LGEVs

Shouldn't the Light GEVs in OGRE Minitures be faster than a standard GEV?
It does make a kind of sense too, if you think about it.  You're trying to 
move much less mass so you would go faster, right?

 101: About the Lead ban.....

I called the New York Daily News the day after the ban went into effect to 
find out if they knew anything about it.  The didn't, but the guy at the city 
desk sounded sympathetic and asked me to fax him a copy of the summary action 
order (which i've now buffered from **3** different sub-boards).   A couple of 
hours later, when I hadn't gotten a response, I phoned him again.  He hadn't 
even bothered to pick up the fax and this time he was rather condescending and 
annoying, as if to say, "Hey I was nice before, but drop it, ok?  It aint 
news."

So much for our rights being taken away without so much as a hearing.  THe 
News usually eats that stuff up.


 102: Don't give up - call again, maybe

talk to somebody else. The media tend to assume that if you're not persistent, 
you didn't really mean business. Think of it as a screening process - it IS.
