It is a shame, he has some other interesting items up also such as Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age, JG Inferno, some Greyhawk items, etc.

He is playing straight into the classic steriotype of the US citizen. If it were deliberate biggotry or ignorance it would be acceptable to a certain degree. But I suspect the majority of these cases are of people who genuinely cannot understand that there is an sophisticated form of life beyond what is governed by congress.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Sorry, Ian, I'm afraid I don't even know what the classic stereotype of a US citizen is, let alone the classic "steriotype". I can't see any evidence of bigotry, or even of "biggotry" for that matter, in the listing. If there were indeed a sophisticated form of life beyond what is governed by (presumably) the US Congress, I suspect the first sign of it would be the ability to spell correctly in one's own language.

It's a man's game, bitch!

Deal with it.

Let mirth prevail!

He said 2 days before that he will ship to France, so I don't think it will be a problem for him to ship to UK

(but perhaps he doesn't like UK folks hÃ©hÃ©)

Even me, a french man, accept to deal with UK persons :twisted:

It's a lovely condition set and all that, but I can't help but feel a little saddened by it. It's not right that a game never gets played, or seemingly even thumbed through. I feel it would be better if there were blu-tac marks on the maps and dried bacon rashers as book marks

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Isn't that the English US spelling of stereotype rather than the true English version?
