I figure if I clear the furniture out of my (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jul-02, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.events)

I'd like to thank Frank and everyone else who made this game happen. I got suckered because I thought I was going to see some animation stuff, but due to the room change, I wandered into the begining stages of the game. After a few minutes of (...)
