dissapearance of several sqatters in Pollyup...

'Course, when was your last run against the power plant? :/
But, there is a thought. Some places in NYC or Chicago (the only 2 cities

ACK!! You've been to Stalker paintball out in the Dells! =O
But, hey, This is EVIL!!! Hmm, I wonder how they'd feed? "We found this
troll drained completely of blood." (pause) "No sir, there weren't any

sit around and say things. Anything. Just to talk. Put forth views and
debate them. Sometimes you get a new idea. Sometimes something changes"
