A suggestion: don't enter bmode unless you are either very strong, or you have a spy network thing going (like I kinda do) or if you have really strong friends to back you up (though that doesn't always help). I heard recenty that Shifter was planning to kill me, so I'm steering clear of GK for a while, and I'm planning that I might quit (again.) *sigh* well...we'll see how things go...
(btw, I'm not quitting cuz of fear of Shifter
I just really think that GK makes you worry about all sorts of cr*p all the time, like dying, etc, etc, so that's a major reason why I'm quitting.)
