Hi everybody,

Mercurial is a promo card for "second run", it was said the card could not
be released in the U.S. due to too much naked flesh(????!!!)

About FASA, like someone (sorry, forgot the name and too lazy to check)
said, delaying a game for nearly 9 month is not something you decide first
time in the morning, between when you woke up and when you have your morning
coffee.
Why didn't they stop advertising (neat loss of money!) and why is it "Corp
War" still indicated as "to be released in Jully" on their website (I have
just checked, it is still there!!!).Lot of shop have alredy taken pre-order
for it, and now both shop and customer are p... well, annoyed!
By the way, there is advertising for a french "mail shop" in the new "lotus
noir" who already have "second run" on it, with the price and all the
stuff.
I suppose they are already putting it to pre-order, seems that lot of
unimformed people here will have their money locked up for quite a time.
