[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 2451360, member: 9646"] [COLOR=YellowGreen][B][RANT][/B][/COLOR] Some of you may know that since I discovered Castles & Crusades, I almost forgot everything else (RPGs wise). However, when I went to their dedicated messageboards (not the one on TLG site, another), I noticed something I didn't like very much.
