    Yeah but that arcane quality is one of the things that I enjoy about the genre. There are so many "easy" (not easy to play but easy to get into playing immediately) games that having that one last bastion of geekiness is, to me, a great thing.
    
    I was online in the days of old, before the word "internet" immediately meant only the web and its been an irritant to me that everybody and their mother is now online. The online experience has been dumbed down to the point of idiocy.
    
    Long time ago, I came into contact with really intelligent people in the online world. I miss that..henceforth my being on this list :)
    
    I guess I have a mean exclusionary streak in me.....
