You are welcome. Glad you found amusement amidst your hecticity.

hecticity?
nice.
Magic Realm. Haven't played. Looks interesting, and expensive. Similar to Settlers of Catan? Talisman?
Helpful hint of the day....

More like Talisman. 2-16 players (best with 4-5) explore a magical kingdom overrun with dangerous monsters, populated by various factions, and liberally strewn with artifacts magical and wondrous. The playing surface is made up fresh each game from 20 two sided hexagonal tiles depicting valleys, woods, caves, and mountains and the various treasures available are randomly distributed ensuring a different realm for every game. There are sixteen different characters with their own strengths and weaknesses and varying levels of good will with the various factions.
The rules are somewhat convoluted and it's long out of print. The most recent set of rules (fan created) is here http://www.geocities.com/n_and/mr00.htm and there is a project afoot to create a web client to play it (called Realmspeak http://magicrealm.dewkid.com/rspeak/realmspeak.htm ) but it doesn't implement the full game yet.

Well I think Citizen got it first but you were the first person to actually say it. Maybe you could flip a coin for it. Or we could let it slide. I have real life stuff to do over the next couple days so I'm probably going to be a bit scarce-ish.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Cheated? How? I've had my tinfoil beanie on all week so you can't have read my mind.

I looked up all the games released by Avalon Hill in 1978.

Pshaw. That was the only way that clue could be a clue at all.
