ATF Outfit numbers? - Page 3

Yeah, read the whole series with Ender's Game. Very powerful stuff.

And if you liked Ender's Game, you should try reading Hyperion. Interesting stuff there.

^ Hey, I read that too, as well as the sequels. Years ago though. Don't really read much sci-fi these days. But yeah, they rocked. Like Dune, though, the first book was a lot more exciting than the others - the others are very "deep" and interesting, but they don't have the same pacing at all.

Second note, anyone ever read Enders Game? That is the coolest sci fi book ever!

Funny you should ask. I just read it. Shiner had been bugging me to pick that one up forever.

It seriously kicked ass.

Yeah, I'd have to say Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion are my all time favorite Sci-Fi books. Unless you'd count some of the wierder Michael Moorcock stuff as Sci-Fi, in which case I'd have to switch my pick to Dancers at the End of Time. That one is definitely in the running for my favorite book of all time, period.

Ender's Game was good, but I hadn't read any of the rest of the series. For that matter, I guess I didn't know it WAS part of a series.

Just so that you know.

Well, to get back on track a little bit, we have 60 forums members, and not all are full ATF members, we can safely assume we've got 50 or so players. Which is a good unit size, really, enough to try and take an outpost or 2.

It is more than one platoon in size, though. (30 people)

I think I can get about 3 or more people to play from those that aren't active with T2 right now. 2 brother in laws, probably Matt from the band, Anthony from work, and I think, possibly one more.

68's not too bad either, but I think there'll be more XMEN too, just no idea how many yet.
