I applaud you working with Rick to make it right. Yes you could just put it out on a torrent can call it a day, no stopping that, but whatever you think of PPS and their rights it seems way better to me to work it out and keep everything aboveboard.

Not that I don't get why people feel that's lame, I tend to agree, but it is what it is, so might as well make the tweaks and keep things smooth.

It's not that I don't get that, of course I do. I think the policy is BS. But I understand it, and as long as it's there I think it's better to make some minor changes and be able to just make it officially available then have to get shady with torrents and possibly get lawyer letters no one wants to have to hassle with etc.

I guess I'd sum it up by saying it sucks, but smart move doing it right anyways.

When I did the first design sketches of my Shadow translite I had the Williams W in neon on one of the buildings, and the Bally logo on the side of one of the blimps. Wish I could have kept that. But I didn't want to even ask Rick's permission, because I figured it would be denied, and I didn't want to open a can of worms over it. Do I wish it was otherwise? Sure I do. But I chose what I figured what the smarter path for the project. That's all I mean.

Is it supposed to have 5? (Don't have a DM) Because that's pretty standard behavior if the game thinks it's missing a ball, yes.

It's held up a lot better than DM.

lol, let's not hold our breath for that one.

Lots in the Bay Area right now, probably best place to hit in SF though is Free Gold Watch. I wish SoCal had the location play of my up North home.
