Hi Charles, Lol...interesting. Only problem is, you don't add weapons to levels, it's random. Best Regards, Hayden

Now, to be ornery, to see who pays attention, you could add something like this to the change log: "added traps and treasures to level 4." Don't mention that levels 3 or 4 have been added. --- In God we trust. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <thomasward1...@gmail.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 5:17 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mota interuptions > Hi Dark, > Oh, that's okay.
