On Fasa's page for SRTCG it shows that they updated the Nerps
announcement, it looks like it is the same to me. Any idea when Faq 3.0
will be up?
On another note why is it some messages scroll off the screen to the
right, making it one long line more than 2 screens wide usually?

No clue... And the NERPS may have been updated without any signifigant
changes to show that the offer is still valid and that they still have
NERPS cards available...

You mean from our mail messages to the list?

This is because:

A) The person sending their mail doesn't have their mailer set to send the
lines to wrap at 80 characters or less (the standard is 72, btw)

and/or

B) Your mailer is not set to autowrap the lines at 80 characters or less.

What mailer are you using, and if it's anything made by Microsoft or
Netscape, I would STRONGLY suggest you get a new mailer... :]

This does not happen to every message only certain messages from this
list, usually 3-4 a day. It isn't all that often just irratating to read

They have, they just haven't made a note of this on their updates page.

Plus, they've been very busy with SR3 (The real deal, not some side show
card game;), and with Origins and Gencon.

If you go into some of the individual game pages, there is some new
information, particularly in the catalog sections. I agree, you have to
look for it, though. I'll be glad when they get someone at FASA that
devotes time to website maintenence.

IIRC, Fasa has the guys doing fasa interactive's site online to redo
their site as well. Thats why the battletech stuff has been the first
to be updated.
