9/27    CSUA minutes:
        "Getting new games: $120 dollars for as many games as possible;
        passed 5:0 Who gets new games: Edilac will get new games, bring
        in front of politburo, see people want what games."
        A few questions. How much money does politburo have, and why
        should donations be made to them so they can enjoy while  all
        I had played was stinkin' netrek?
        \_ Didn't you play Risk?
        \_ get Titans?
           \_ Titan is an enormously long game for people who aren't
              experienced with it.  Better games for the CSUA office are
              simple things that can be played by a few people sitting around.
              Carcassone, Bohnanza.  -tom
              \_ Not to mention that a Titan set costs more than 120 these
                 days.  Damn me for letting mine get water damaged. -aspo
                 \_ http://colossus.sourceforge.net
                    "Colossus is a Java clone of Avalon Hill's Titan(tm)
                    boardgame." I've actually tried a previous version
                    of it. Works well. Reminds me just how long a Titan
                    game takes and how I totally forgot how to play. -bz
              \_ CSUA was founded on Titans.. *gasp*
        \_ Netrek.. the card game..
           \_ the _collectable_ card game..
                \_ get the "Mojo Riser butt" (torping) special edition
        \_ We decided to allocate more money for games because it was said
           that a PS2 in the office was a large draw to attract people.
           Anything for more members. -mrauser

We're mostly working on improving network p lay and variants right now.

This is necessary because Colossus uses files on the local computer for user preferences and save games.
