What is the difference between fighting a xorn and fighting an ant? Essentially none. The numbers at the bottom of the screen change, that's all. Pleasure in rogue comes from what YOU make it, not from what rogue makes. Rogue battles are so simplistic. Sort of like primitive sex. Bang, bang, bang, until one combatant or the other gives in. And there are a whole slew of people talking about how great it is to engage in combat with a xorn rather than a hobgoblin. When it's all the same. Sound familiar? Bang, bang, bang. And don't they LOVE having their scores posted for all to see. Ha. Btw, I enjoy playing rogue now and then; I just don't think it would really satisfy me (or anyone) in the long run if rogue was made easier. Note that there are people (not me!) who win without cheating now. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
