    You have no idea. My first time running that was in an all wf party. So the power 1 was actually the most useful enhancement on it.

    A forum post should be like a skirt - long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

    It gets the point across but saying you got a good deal "for" something (instead of "on" something) makes it sound like you sold it (instead of bought it).

    Not sure what the official correct grammar is there. Is it grammatically correct to get a deal "on" something? Or is that just a form of slang we use that has become overwhelmingly common?
