    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

  • What is the SWAT Portal?


    - Short View -


    The SWAT (?? Special Weapons and Techniques ;D ??) Portal is the place to enter the world of various Sci-Fi games for nearly all people of the world. Here you will find a lot of information, news and guidelines about the offered sci-fi games. You also may choose to talk/discuss any topics in the forums, via mail or just chatting with your friends or other people who like to join the SWAT Portal as well.


    This Portal is conducted by the Admins (SWAT_OP_R8R and SWAT_XL_R8R) and the Staff members (Moderators for the various topics).


    The SWAT Portal is the global entry point for about 14 sci-fi games (... need to list them with a short summary of the game). SWAT also support modders, players, developers for the appropriate games.


    (I am not that good in writing such things...)


    followed by a real FAQ - i will post anything if i get some minds and ideas about it...

  • There is also one problem as to who will get that map made. I could do that. :)

    India.
    Germany.
    Bulgaria.
    Serbia.
    Latvia.
    Croatia.
    USA.
    UK.
    Philippines.
    Afghanistan.
    Australia.
    France.
    Spain.
    Mexico.
    Portugal
    Brazil
    Georgia.
    Belgium.
    Canada.
    Lithuania.

    THE FASTEST ONE


  • I added some of your text to my post. :P:D


    I do not think it would be a good idea to give a short description of each game in the FAQ.

    The king and his men stole the queen from her bed
    and bound her in her bones
    The seas be ours and by the powers
    Where we will, we'll roam
    Yo, ho, haul together,
    hoist the colors high
    heave ho, thieves and beggars,
    never shall we die
    Some men have died and some are alive
    And others sail on the sea
    With the keys to the cage and the Devil to pay
    We lay to Fiddler's Green!
