Literalist.

"Ship" in this case = "will be packaged with the file that you download."

Rut roh, you know who I am, don't you? Don't rat me out.

Well, I did swear off writing game guides some years ago. But I'll think about it.

When I do game writing on beer, the words just flow out in a torrent and they all make perfect sense.

The problem is that they don't make so much sense when I read them later when I am cold sober. Or when anyone else reads them. Like, say, an editor.

For writing, the drink of choice is always iced tea with no sugar.

The word you want is "transmit," not "ship."

Oh well and here I was about to ship a case of Chimay out ... guess I'll keep it for myself.

I agree. Does anyone know if there's any way to search for all of the reports that a scout has turned into you? That way, I suppose that you could print the screen(s) or enter them manually into an Excel file if worse came to worse, if you knew that there was a chance that the scout was going to leave or if you were going to fire him.

I agree. Does anyone know if there's any way to search for all of the reports that a scout has turned into you (to search by scout, basically)? That way, if it doesn't get changed in any way, which is appears that it won't be based on Markus's comment, (and I can sort of understand where he's coming from, with the number of scouts in the drop down menu-I think that some kind of export function would be good, though) I suppose that you could print the screen(s) or enter them manually into an Excel file, if you knew that there was a chance that the scout was going to leave or if you were going to fire him.

Edit: And it looks like I double posted meaning to edit. Oops.

Such a sacrifice on your part!

Quick question guys.

I go into Adobe Reader pick the file and I'm getting the manual like this.

e' u uuuu rQ nu

All the images come out fine but the regular text doesn't, I thought I ask how to fix it here, hope for a quick answer, instead of waiting for Adobe Customer Service.

Markus and Marc can't stay up that late!

Given the time mentioned to scout one team, the Advance Scout should scout two, maybe three teams ahead ... say, ~one week on the schedule.

Definately needed ... though I realize it may be a bit late for an added feature. Patch 1?

Really? You have a wife and a small child, and Markus...well, Markus has that thong-wearing girlfriend.
