Hawk, it's like playing golf = totally useless other than for self-analysis comparative psychology testing, not to mention outright fun, so I'll offer only gentle criticism [and I play some pretty good games myself so I can't cast the first stone]. But actual 3D reality has got plenty going on to play even better games as you say: <I prefer REAL Real-Estate, over virtual.. ;) >

Those olde-time Aztecs are going to get a shock when their silly stashes of gold turn into unreactive metal which just dumbly sit there, century after century, being whittled away by entropy, loss, damage, theft, taxes, security fees, and a thousand depredations.

Meanwhile fatwah against Gadaffi ... cool!! < nzherald.co.nz Influential Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi has issued a fatwa that any Libyan soldier who can shoot dead embattled leader Muammar Gaddafi should do so "to rid Libya of him."
"Whoever in the Libyan army is able to shoot a bullet at Mr Gaddafi should do so," Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born cleric who is usually based in Qatar, told Al Jazeera television.
He also told Libyan soldiers "not to obey orders to strike at your own people," and urged Libyan ambassadors around the world to dissociate themselves from Gaddafi's regime.
Famous in the Middle East for his at times controversial fatwas, or religious edicts, the octogenarian Qaradawi has celebrity status in the Arab world thanks to his religious broadcasts on Al Jazeera.
He has in the past defended "violence carried out by certain Muslims."
The West accuses the cleric of supporting "terrorism" because he sanctioned Palestinian suicide attacks in Israel. Britain and the United States have refused to grant him entry visas. ... continued... >
I am hoping he is shot. I will remember Constable Yvonne Fletcher and be glad of his demise. en.wikipedia.org Also, Lockerbie.
