Ah, but that uses only the strict economic sense of the term. There are many ways to "make it". Homer is still referenced over a thousand years after his death. One could certainly argue that he "made it" in terms of recognition and reputation.

I disagree with your assessment of "made it". Your joke might still
be repeated a thousand years from now, yet unless you can cash in on
it, you didn't make it in a comedy business Smile

Ergo, I refuse to burn

Um, Homer would have approved!  He had more sex jokes, in
colloquialisms like that one, then south park and George Carlin
combined!
Also I reject your premise that Homer did not make it in the
entertainment industry!  Look at how many movies are based on
his works! Not to mention references in TV and books!

It's people like you that prevented Homer from making it in

Ye but if I recall this legend correctly, the grandma is
the one who was eaten, while red cape girls's units were
munching on the muffins... I fail to see the moral of
the story...

With our
first deadline fast approaching, I think it's
time for a little story about the timeliness of
ones' moves.  You see, once upon a time there
was this little girl in a red cape, with a
basket of muffins on her way to grandma's
house.... 
But, she
forgot to turn in moves. 
So all
her units held.

Two bounces!  The Magicians and
Undead clash over the West Sea of Shadows,
while the Centaurs and the Rogues fight for
the Orboros dot.  Everyone else got more or
less what they ordered... tho it would seem as
an uninformed bystander that many of these
were not as expected from ones neighbors.  A
few points catch my eye... Of the 4 nations
that could, not one went for Dargaard Keep! 
Usually hotly fought over, that will remain a
neutral into year 2... And another highly
contested space, the High Seas went completely
vacant.  Interesting start!
 
Let's
set the Fall for a little over a week... Thu
8/28.  12 noon.  Builds after Labor Day (9/1
in the US).  Things are a little slower than
normal since there's some vacations
criss-crossing and I want to be sure everyone
has at least a few days.
