Re: Game Mechanics: Corrections, Observations & Questions

I need to rescind my "thank goodness for email notifications" comment. Gmail put one in my inbox, then two days later puts a nearly identical notification into spam. Bleh. I'm fairly sure that for my stat calculations I used the average gains. I'm not excited by stat-scumming in general an...

Re: Game Mechanics: Corrections, Observations & Questions
