BUY LATER?
I think I have developed a new pet hate. Its shareware game nag screens with two options:

BUY NOW! $19.95
and
MAYBE LATER!

because when I see it I just want a third option:

NEVER BUY AND UNINSTALL THIS CRAP

I hate being treated like a jerk as a customer, and 'maybe later' does exactly that. It tends to only show up on the crappiest games too, and comes accross as being pleading and a bit desperate. I hope I never stoop to such stuff.
well democracy is all on a few news sites today thanks to a press release and screenshots I sent out, and I also took delivery of my Starship Tycoon Mug and T shirt, which is of course very cool. Sales have also been good, so generally things are going well!
I went through a site called the CIA factbook yesterday and added 8 new levels for democracy. I need to fine tune the policies, but the GDP, population and debt levels are now correct for 8 different countries.
