Application accepted.

Sending you a small care package too to get you started. 5000 metal, 5000 crystal and 4900 Deut. That should last you a while. Concentrate on building up your own mines tho. something like:

Solar, metal, metal, solar, metal, metal, solar, metal, crystal, solar, metal, crystal.

Always seems to work well for me. After which you can concentrate on whatever you are short of.

I just created a forum at: http://www.xocalliance.com for members to use too.
