drad: howdy!!
gewb: hey pins.. look at my addendum to your lgm idea and see what you think...
gewb: i'm particularly fond of the "LGBM" enhancement
Squelcher: i'll bet that is just your travel planner
Squelcher: you have a pink one at home don't you
gewb: baha :)
Squelcher: lo drad
Pins: sam - hehe I will dude
drad: LGBM?
drad: sounds cool

Piclard: What about a LGW fer the gals out there playing?
gewb: ooh that's a good one
drad: here is one.....
gewb: you should post that too
drad: multiple lgm's
drad: if you carry a pill
gewb: yeh.. multiple lgm's w/ rank.. you could organize an LGM offensive...
Piclard: Mebbe use a LGW for a decoy to divert the LGM's attention
drad: for each pill you carry.....have a xtra lgm
drad: hahaha
Pins: hehe
gewb: actually the lgw has potential
gewb: what kind of guy would shoot a LGW
drad: or maybe capture opponents lgm and use him.
gewb: i sure wouldn't
Pins is laughing his ass off
Pins: or abuse him?
gewb: well
gewb: a LGW in combination w/ capturing LGM
gewb: would be a problem
drad: too much xtra code for her shape and walk.
Pins: well women should be penalised in a mens game *yuck*
Pins: but the advantage is
Piclard: heh
drad: hahaha
Pins: that you can mak more lgms
Pins: to replenish yours
gewb: actually
Piclard: heheha
gewb: it could be like tennis
gewb: LGW could haev an advantage

Pins: see how easy great additions and ideas are?
gewb: no kidding.. this was a good idea for a thread pins
Pins: goob - don't you mean harder to hit on?
gewb: baha
