<grin> TomB may have some confusion about who is Canadian (I'm not)
and whose minds were being messed with (which included Roger, Adrian
and Jerry). For example:
"It's time for initiative--pick a color!"
and later on, as Adrian was being shot at by a nameless Arab civilian:
Me: "He's got a red turban on, so hand me a red quality die. <pause,
just long enough for the civilian's Elite status to sink in and Adrian
to start to turn white> Okay, now hand me a green quality die instead,
these guys are only nameless Arab civilians after all."
