New Poll!
Not very original this time, but I just had to ask! Here's what the
catagories generally mean:
- Always - Huh? There are funds in this game?
- A lot - Damn codes are just so handy!
- Sometimes - I get tempted...
- Rarely - I try my best to play, but...
- Never - I'm an honorable freak.
See the full results of the previous poll
