need to save up for new PC then 
When posting imbedded Images (not attaching images) how can I make the images smaller so that they do not stretch the size of the post itself? Does that question make sense.
Sometimes I don't want to put an image in a spoiler, but if I dont it makes the post too big. I saw SilCon do it a few times... Posting small images I mean.

I use the "resize" feature on photobucket. I upload the images. Then click on the first one in the folder and it will open up that image. When you hover over the image a bar will appear on the top that has different options. Click (or hover over, not sure which) the one that says "resize" a drop down menu of pre-chosen sizes will appear. I usually chose the 15" Screen option (which is something like 800x600) just so I don't have to scroll sideways to see the whole picture. You can make it any size by going to edit, but I think the 15" Screen size is a good one. And it's easy. When you resize that picture and it says Image resized just click next and do it for the rest.
For some reason sometimes it doesn't work right for an image and it will still be big. I don't know why that is. When this happens I usually just go into edit, select the size, and hit "replace original" then paste that code.
EDIT: Another option, which I use on images which I'm photo-editing (in GIMP 2) such as the city screens with all the details showing, I'll just resize the image in that program and not have to mess with the photobucket resizer, but for most screenshots photobucket is easier.

I think my Windows.Live account name is just my email: silentconfusion@hotmail.com since that's what I used to log-in to Windows.Live.
I tried to add Sommerswerd as a friend, but not sure if I did it right.

Oh, I meant to say this sooner, but anyone on our team should feel free to add me on Skype or I guess Windows.Live now (if I've got it set up right). I'm almost always on Skype if I'm at my computer. Feel free to talk to me anytime you see me online. Skype username: silentconfusion
I'll go post a summary of score changes in the TOP SECRET section now.

A while back remake20 suggested a weekly MP game. If I understand correctly, this would mean everyone would log in to an internet game via the gamespy lobby and we would play a bunch of turns at the same time. I would be interested in participating in this if folks are still interested. Maybe we could just have a regular day, once a week or once every 2 weeks when we play. What would be the best day of the week for this? What time of the day works best? I guess we could just plan on playing a couple hours and wrap it up when people start having to leave.

Yeah, remake suggested that and I even played with him in a game. That is how it worked, we all logged into the game via gamespy lobby. There's a turn timer, but these are short turns (I'd imagine like 30 seconds), and everyone makes their moves simultaneously then press end turn. When the timer runs out or everyone hits end turn it moves on to the next turn. If you put the turn timer to something short, these can go fast.
As I am currently between occupations I am available whatever day others are available for now. I'm Pacific Standard Time in the US (which is apparently UTC -8).
I am a little less busy now than I was, so I can participate.

I couldn't help but to switch avatar when I saw how bad*ss Gandhi looked in the artwork for Civ V. 
OK so what about this Saturday at 3pm EST?

I can play that. I've never really played one of these MP games out fully, so I don't really have a good idea of how long they take. Do you know?
The last one I played, it took about a semester for me and my ally to win.
