    - interesting. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:37
- I think about this a lot these days. my grandmother would be pissed. my mom wouldn't care. -- nm - mafic Jul 20, 09:31

- I'm currently on Operation Get the Hideouts in All My Cities to Level 20 - Dano Jul 20, 09:19 12
  - What the benefit of having a big level hideout aside from making more spies? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 20, 09:24 5
    - It makes it harder for other people to spy on you. -- nm - Dano Jul 20, 09:25 4
      - ... as long as they are in town. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 09:26 2
        
        The spies need to be in town? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 20, 09:31 1
        
        If they are out in other cities, they are not defending yours. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 09:32
      - Oh fancy. Mine range from level 6 to 10. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 20, 09:26

  - 20? I prefer 25 now, unless you are sending zero out. - Spawn Jul 20, 09:21 4

    - I have a bad habit of sending out too many spies at once. - psilotum Jul 20, 09:22 1
      - Yeah, if percantages are low, I still send 2 or 3 to each city. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 09:24
- Yesterday I had a guy from the BLOOD alliance ask me where my 5th city was. Seems odd. - Ender Jul 20, 09:18 5

  - No .com -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 20, 09:15
- Did you catch all his spies? -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 09:15 5

- At least he's planning ahead. -- nm - psilotum Jul 20, 09:09 1

Has anyone else hit a glitch in Gmail, where you send a message, it gives you a server error fail message, but the inbox says it's sent? - TFox Jul 20, 08:55 3

    - she needs a full Barrymore. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 08:59 5
      - So we can be subjected to stories about her "overcoming obstacles" and being "brave." No thank you. -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 09:15
      - She needs to completely avoid the paparazzi for a few years. nm - Dignan Jul 20, 09:01 2
