And he's ridiculously powerful, at least by 1st Ed. standards. If someone has the CD-ROM handy, search for an article titled "The Politics of Hell" and tell me the which one...

I haven't got the CD to hand. But I'd put money on it being #28 as I remember it being in the same copy as "Awful Green Things From Outer Space".

Email to the seller:

I looked at your opening bid on this item. You can't be serious, can you?

The Gray Book: My homage to E.G.G.

Star Trek: Alpha Quadrant: The game Mongoose failed to make.

Fucknut, huh? Uh ... good one.

Well, he just got in under the wire, but this fool came from behind to win the 2004 Moron of the Year Award. Let's see ... zero feedback, ridiculous expectations, hyper-sensitive, and foul-mouthed ... yep, that's what I'm looking for in a seller.

Whoa, Whitey looks pretty battered now. I wonder if he makes it into the new year? Go Whitey, go!

WOW!! Can you give me a link to one of his listings?? :wink:

I am in serious need of some really tacky abuse, before the new year comes up......
I have not been cursed at on-line for at least a couple of weeks now....so I am feeling a bit left out. :roll:

Harami posted it a few messages above this one.
The funny thing is, I merely asked him if it was a typo, and I told him I had seen it posted on the forum.

Wow. That response was just a wee bit overreacting, dont'cha think?

Seriously though, I've been looking for a bargain basement price on one of these for a while (I'm cheap, but eventually I'll get one for $5. It's all about being vigilant and patient.) The median seems to be about $26. NM could go for $40 to 50, maybe a little higher with Xmas newbies, etc.

$1000 is absolutely ridiculous. Especially since a large number of "1st printings" turn out to be 2nds or even 3rds. :roll:

Isn't it funny to see the speculative posts from the newer members?
To the best of my knowledge, that account is managed by Mr. Ima Schiller, residence unknown. Hero of the RPG collecting world, defender of copyrights, and all-around nice guy. I hear he's very good-looking too, as well as smart, friendly, kind, and extremely humble. But that is only what I am told....

Now where, pray tell, did I actually engage in any speculation? Hmmmm, you must be talking about those other newer members :wink:
